I was going to ask where you found that. After searching on 3 separate occasions I finally found the policy, (which matches the above) they do not make it easy and it doesn't stand out. The 'Ask IHG' is hidden in the FAQ section that I cannot even find again. The advanced search take you to a hotel locator not a search page. The 'Need help' will take you to the FAQ page then 'Ask IHG' then type Firearms or weapons policy.

I find a lot od companies hide behind the corporate skirt, and blame everything on them. We shouldn't stand for it.

I thought this thread was about posted Hotels???

How about this one

Hotels CHAPTER 2155. HOTELS AND BOARDINGHOUSES
Sec. 2155.102. APPLICABILITY OF SUBCHAPTER. This subchapter applies only to a hotel that has a policy prohibiting or restricting the possession, storage, or transportation of firearms by hotel guests. Added by Acts 2013, 83rd Leg., R.S., Ch. 237 (H.B. 333), Sec. 1, eff. September 1, 2013.
Sec. 2155.103. NOTICE REGARDING FIREARMS POLICY. (a) A hotel shall include on the hotel's Internet reservation website the hotel's policy regarding the possession, storage, and transportation of firearms.
(b) If a hotel provides a written confirmation or a written statement of terms and conditions to a consumer after accepting the consumer's hotel reservation by telephone, the hotel shall include information specifying how the consumer may review applicable guest policies. The guest policies must indicate the hotel's policy regarding the possession, storage, and transportation of firearms by guests.
(c) A hotel owner or keeper commits an offense if the person does not comply with this section. An offense under this subsection is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than $100. Added by Acts 2013, 83rd Leg., R.S., Ch. 237 (H.B. 333), Sec. 1, eff. September 1, 2013.

And if he does decide to carry anyway he should know that he is doing so as a criminal.

Not necessarily, I am sure he understands the difference between CC and transportation. If you walk from a car to a room you will be staying in that is transportation and not considered CC. If you live in an apt and transport your firearm from your residence to your car that is not CC and not illegal. So in this situation pack up your pistol and carry it disguised (not in the open) (See my post above) to your room and keep it there until you leave again transporting in the same manor. (and do not use it to protect yourself) during the transportation. And you will be fine.

BTW IANAL

That would be a very well written post if the OP had inquired about banks???

I stay at a loooot of Holiday inns and consider this to be a 'don't ask - don't tell' I have never seen a enforceable sign and I do not surf their web site looking for problems. Since I drive a company truck I have to disguise my pistol that I do not carry on my person in a company truck and never had a problem walking right in. I carry/transport in a Sneaky Pete holster and have it sitting on top of my computer and never had a problem.

Here is the Tx law for hotels
