Positive Reviews
positive:
Newly refurbished rooms.
Guests found that rooms were nicely updated. Newer furnishing and carpet made for a pleasant stay. While some guests weren't as enthusiastic about the bathroom, and commented on signs of general wear and tear, the renovated room decor helped to offset other noticeable flaws.
positive:
Plenty of parking.
With lots of space to leave the car, guests were never without parking that was easy to find. Even at busy times like Spring Break, parking was ample, and guests liked that they could leave their vehicle and take advantage of the free airport shuttle.
positive:
Accommodating staff.
Friendly staff were on the ball when it came to unhappy guests, or issues that needed to be resolved. Everything possible was done to ensure a great customer experience. Many guests said that polite staff members were the highlight of their stay.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Be prepared to take the stairs.
Stairs and heavy luggage are never a good match, and guests were reminded of this at the Holiday Inn Brownsville. With no elevator in the two-story building, guests staying on the second floor were inconvenienced by a steep climb.
negative:
A smelly situation.
Unfortunately, unpleasant odors were encountered by many staying at this hotel. A mildew scent seemed to be prevalent in several rooms, and everything from cigarette smoke to cleaning products assaulted the senses when guests opened the door to their rooms. Some guests suggested that a dehumidifier could easily take care of the main culprit, which was mildew from a humid climate.
negative:
Swimming pool not up to par.
If you are looking to relax in the outdoor swimming pool, you may have to contend with floating debris. Guests felt that staff needed to pay closer attention to what would otherwise be a nice amenity.
