Gym gr8. Pool small. Few wait staff, can only order drinks poolside, most after 5pm. Queen rm teeny, faces a wall 6 ft away. Stream room gave me bronchitis-bing tested for covid and flu. Bfast inconsistent. One day gr8, next mediocre. Really noisy in lobby after 5. Sauna, red light $45/15 min. Avg drink pric $20-$26. For $1,200/night all amenities should be included, esp if your reservation says VIP

I stayed previously earlier this year and loved it besides an incident with trying to get a microwave to warm my food. I loved the hotel and dining options so much I decided to come back, but unfortunately dining fell short. Burnt toast, that you could clearly see was burned, and fish that was not “right”, the comped the items which was nice, but I came all the way to Austin to this hotel for my bday just to stay and have this one particular meal. It is a very nice hotel, love the aesthetic, but I didn’t feel satisfied after dining, so not sure if I’d eat there again.

Nice property and convenient location. Wouldn’t give it four stars due to some oddities. Other than a closet, there is no storage space. No drawers or shelves, even on bed stand. Room is very small. One peg in the shower to hang a towel, but no towel racks. Also, at night the hotel lobby and bar turns into a singles place. So loud you can’t hear yourself and surely can’t sit and have a quiet drink. Also, I tried to reserve directly with the property and it was cheaper on Expedia.

The restaurants are exceptional from breakfast & coffees to amazing dinners and night caps all can be met without ever leaving the hotel! That says something about having all your needs met!!! I will be frequenting this spot for years to come!! Thank you to the staff for all of my upgrades they certainly do not go unnoticed!!! The best of the best in Austin!!!!

The no dressers in the room knocks this one off of the list for me unless I was traveling alone. They decided to literally make the nightstand have a false drawer and intentionally limit functionality. Living out of a suitcase for several days is no fun

Room was nice, as was pool. Coffee bar was the most disappointing. Coffee was weak (looked like tea when poured) and the complementary muffins were laughable. For the price of the lodging, the coffee and muffins area seemed very low effort. Front desk stated they would text when room was ready (we forgot to request de-feathering) and we ended up have to call the front desk after over an hour to see if it was ready. We’re able to relax at pool with friends while waiting.

Great location. Efficient valet service even though it was Easter weekend when we arrived so extremely busy. Rooms clean, well equipped, lovely touch of Dyson hairdryer, Aesop toiletries and clothes steamer. Beds extremely comfortable. We didn’t use any of the restaurants as they were a little pricey to use for our whole stay as family of four, but plenty of options a short walk from the hotel.

Finally a five star hotel with a five star service. Design is amazing, attention to details. Staff is genuinely nice and extremely helpful. Can’t wait until you open a Lisbon location. Thank you to the property staff and Managment.

Overall nice hotel. Rooms are nice. The bar downstairs was our only dissapointment. Way to loud and overcrowded. Hotel guest can’t even get a table. Look like a pickup area for young hungry girls that want old men with money!

The person tasked with cleaning our room kept making errors. One night, s/he left all the dirty bed sheets and towels in our room, after the room was cleaned. Another time, there were no slippers to be found. Every day, there was something missing.

Great food options and cool room. The pool was a bit small and always full, it looked like a motel pool. We payed for late check out which is a bit pricey and they interrupted us twice. Fortunately they refunded half of the fee when we told management.
