Reviews
The hotel has a beautiful exterior and is close to the conference center, but guests have reported issues with hot water, air conditioning, and cleanliness. The staff has been described as uninterested and the parking fees have increased.

My stay could not have been more unwelcoming. Not only did you guys charge me extra fees for early/late checkout, but they charged me additional fees for late checkout; so I was double charged. Plus, when I went for my early checkin, it wasn't available after I called twice this week when they could have told me it wouldn't be available. Also, late check-out was only originally for 30 minutes? Until I had to ask for an additional hour and a half because i thought it was 1pm at the earliest. The floor was cracking under me. The hand wash was falling out of the wall. Just.....It was overall one of the worst experiences I've had and I will make sure never to come back. The guest reception and breakfast were awesome though.

Easy to get to. The rooms were clean and everything was visible and easy to use. The check in was quick and the breakfast was tasty and fresh. Not that I didn’t like it but it could be updated in the rooms.

I arrived late after a UT game. April was extremely rude at the front desk.. She was asking me for form of payment and I was trying to explain that the room as paid for. She walked away and proceeded to tell angel who was approaching I can't do this. She walked away. When I asked angel for her name. He said "you cant remember it". My experience was horrible in that aspect

Unfortunately, though the breakfast (for the most part) was good. I ate some sausage that I really didn't like the taste. I ate a couple of bites. Sure enough I had stomach issues the entire day. It was the first time I'd ever had an issue with any of the food from an Embassy Suites Hotel. Breakfast area was very, very busy. Not much room for people to sit between the 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM time slot. So we had to wait for people to finish and leave so we could sit and enjoy our breakfast together. The sausage was not good. It cause a case of indigestion for me and my family all day. There were also some loud guests on the bottom floor and we could hear all of their noise from 3rd floor while we were trying to fall asleep at about 11:30 PM. I noticed that there was about a 1 inch gap at the door allowing most of the noise to enter our room so I had to put some towels at the bottom to help block out unwelcome noise.

The staff was good and helpful We’ve stayed at this property before and liked it. They did not charge for parking before and now they do and there’s no reason for that. There’s plenty of parking spaces and it’s not downtown. It’s one thing they need to get rid of rethink. It just seems like they’re trying to get more money very disappointing and embassy suites

The property overall looked good but once in our room 417 and getting ready to go to bed., I looked down and saw dried spots of blood on the top of the bed skirt. That was pretty horrible. The room looked pretty worn. Probably won't return to this Embassy Suite Stonelake Austin. Total renovation of rooms would help.

Not enough staff for the overcrowded breakfast area and the food did not taste well. Eggs tasted dusty. The rest was okish, but Hilton should review if they really want to have their name associated to this property.
- 4/5
It’s a beautiful place, but a lot of the rooms are quite dusty. Our soap dispenser fell off the wall while My Daughter was taking a shower and her head her foot. The food dining area for breakfast with the meat to order. Breakfast did not have enough tables and the food was not that great to be honest. however, that being said the staff was amazing.

Couch was stained and dirty to the eye. The toilet had stains. The whole suite smelled off. I had to pay $17 to park my car in their open air parking lot that was not even 1/4 full.

My room was impeccably clean, and my bed was very comfortable. There was an array of food during the social hour, I honestly ate such a light dinner because I ate so many veggies and naan with the hummus and killer tzatziki. April was so helpful and the check in process was so smooth. She gave me tips about nearby restaurants and was just super friendly. She is a gem. Everyone seems to get along really well and I cannot remember the name of the bartender, but she was so sweet and has the warmest aura. She reminds me of my aunt, and she’s the sweetest woman I know.

The room was adequate, but needs updating. The furniture had stains and the room still had a popcorn ceiling. The breakfast was excellent, and the front desk help was very helpful.

Breakfast is always good at embassy. I got the premium suite at embassy I had to ask for the premium benefits as there were none in the room although they did let me check in early I will leave that to oversight. But the internet was out the whole stay and the gym was out of order. It did the job I needed for a restful night sleep. But other than that if I was to stay more then one day I would have cancelled and went somewhere else.

Good breakfast. I am sad they have let this property get to this level. It needs renovations desperately. Carpet and sofas smell. They should not charge for parking.
- 5/5
The hotel is dated but classic Embassy Suites. All the staff was friendly and helpful. The trademark breakfast is a valuable amenity—staff was working diligently to keep stocked and clean: I was impressed given how busy it was Saturday morning. It was a great value for the price we paid! The only negative other than needing to be updated is that they charge $17 per night for parking.

Layout of hotel - large indoor area with rooms around, 6 floors. Dave and Busters nearby - food is good - noisy but fun Breakfast in Morning - decent selection 5:30 to 7 pm - 2 free drinks from bar per person $17 dollars a night to park --- ??????? Elevators are appropriate for the size hotel. Overall I like the location.

The shower did not really work, it kept spraying water out of the shower. The ac was loud but was working well. They put me next to the ice machine and cleaning section as far away from the elevators in an empty hotel. The hot tub jets did not work and the pool was freezing but that is probably more of a me thing. The staff was absolutely amazing.

Check in always easy and quick. Very nice and excellent customer service at desk. Room spacious and bed very comfy. Carpet could use cleaning. Feet got dirty real fast and never had that happen before. The AC was very loud. Omelets at breakfast still the best. Reception snacks are ok and drinks are nice and cold. When we come from Houston we always stay here. ❤️😊

This was by far the best customer service we've received in a lonnnngggg time. April and Brandon at Embassy Suites at 9505 Stonelake Blvd in Austin Tx is Amazing!!! We really enjoyed our stay!! April is very personable and outgoing. Those two are a customer service tag team and I applaud 👏 them for going above and beyond. Thank You ☺️

Room was ok. Hide-a-bed only good for a kid, 80’s comfortable. Shower wasn’t good. Broken sprayer, loose rod, torn curtain. Room was clean. Mini refrigerator was awful, turned to low setting and still froze water bottles and soda bottles. Tv had a couple of apps to sign into, and some cable channels. Breakfast was good, good service.

Other than checkout or stay was great. At checkout, luggage carts were no where to be found. After an elevator trip i noticed they were just sitting on the 4th floor. Staff did not make any effort to ensure the carts were available. Additionally when i asked for a water stay the front desk they said they were out despite having a case of water right next to her. When i came back in from loading that set of luggage she was stocking that water to sale in the shop. We stayed in the largest room in the hotel for four days. To see water prioritized for sale over a guest was extremely disappointing and a failed customer service opportunity. Good stay sour exit....

Clean room. Very comfortable bed. I really like that the air/heating unit is not in the bedroom (very quiet), and I can set it to have the fan run all night rather than cut on and off . My only complaint is that the cleaning crew forgot to leave coffee packets! TVs in both rooms were large and offered so many choices!

It is ridiculous to charge $21 to park in a parking lot where there is no shortage of available parking, and most spaces go unused. This policy is an underhanded way to get an extra $21 out of a customer's pocket, and is borderline a misrepresentation of the advertised rates to stay here. It sullied an otherwise good experience.

Room was fine. My issue is also having to pay separately for parking. I won’t be using Hilton properties with pay to park. This is different from valet parking. I park myself in a parking lot and have to pay a third party.
