Breakfast utensils could have a separate place to be set next to food so that warmers could be completely closed and food could stay fresh. Also, extended breakfast time till 10am would be nice.

We had a fantastic experience at The Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Hobby Airport Area by IHG in Houston, Texas, and I’m so grateful for the outstanding service we received throughout our stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment I arrived. A special thank you to Stephanie and Lele—they truly made our stay memorable. Stephanie was professional, kind, and always ready to help with anything I needed. And LeLe was wonderful—her warmth and attention to detail stood out every day. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. It was delicious, with a great variety of options to choose from. LeLe made sure everything was perfect each morning, and her friendly presence made breakfast feel like a treat rather than just a meal. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was peaceful and inviting. I highly recommend Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Hobby Airport Area by IHG Houston, Texas in Houston to anyone looking for a place where genuine hospitality shines through. We will definitely be back!
