    The room was beautiful (uniquely high ceilings that I was particularly fond of) and I had a balcony, which turned out to be an amazing choice for me as I got to sit out at night and relax. The pool, while not as big as I normally like, was set on a rooftop and the view was glorious. Overall, my stay was great! Would definitely stay again!

    It had its own parking which was very convenient and seemed to be really close to everything. The staff was super nice and the breakfast was phenomenal compared to other hotel breakfast. The surrounding properties were under constructions or in disarray. Also one of the doors leading outside was missing its handle so you couldn’t open it if you were coming into the hotel.

    The room was very spacious, clean, and the staff was nice and friendly. Breakfast was decent. Gave it a 4 star because the room had no fan in the restroom, ceiling fan was not working, and no remote to control the window blinds. Because of all these it made the shower wet and room very stuffy.

    Easy check in. Room was bigger than I expected. While breakfast was standard fair with a few added things which I am sure others appreciated. The Muzak that played in the breakfast area was great and started day off right. Elevators-and my room was on the top floor- were great, hardly ever had to wait on one. And for me the hotel was 4 blocks from where I was spending my time so that was plus

    Newly renovated, nice style and clean. Reception and breakfast area kind of small but nice. Breakfast not fancy, but I really enjoyed the relax atmosphere and fresh waffle by the self help machine. Stayed in a King bed room with balcony. Spacious with high ceiling. A few things can be improved on: noisy exhaust fan in bathroom, leaky shower head, an in-room safe would be nice. Overall a very pleasant stay of three nights for business.

    It was ok property. We were just staying for short duration so it was ok. Beds were uncomfortable and noise outside was too much. We were on 5th floor where gym and pool is. Every time someone open or close the doors, our bed wall and bed was shaking. Front desk staff was friendly. Having an ice cold water in the lobby was a plus. Specially when you are out in TX heat in summer.

    The location was perfect—within easy walking distance of the museums, the Moody Center, the UT campus, and numerous restaurants. We especially enjoyed taking an evening stroll back to the hotel after dinner at a nearby restaurant. It made our stay even more relaxing and enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!

It is also not my first time staying there, its very familiar and always welcoming very attentive staff. Nothing comes to mind rooms were clean, great food and fresh. Breakfast is served till 10am which is amazing! I did not like a wierd smell in the hallway of the rooms very odd noticed as soon as stepped off elevator but I believe it might of been due to the ice machine being broken and it smelled like humid or stail water. They did have alternative ice machine and very clean with a nice private room to minimize the noise. Over all nothing bad.

    Location is excellence. The young white receptionist is racist. Since I'm Asian, he charged me $40 for overnight parking. Meanwhile, I talked to other white parents stayed there, he charged them either $15 or $18. The room is ok. It's smelly. AC is not cold at night. The iron broken. Breakfast is ok. It's kind of blend.

    The property was well maintained and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful and attentive. I do have two complaints, however. First, the lighting in the bathroom was very dim, making it very difficult to do hair and makeup. The other issue was that we were given an adjoining room, using only one side. The first night was extremely quiet. The second night of our stay, a family with young children apparently stayed next door. The sound must travel between the doors because we could hear almost everything the children said, but mostly shouted/cried. They were also awake much earlier than we needed to be, and their voices were difficult to ignore.

I felt bad that on another floor that evening someone seem to be smoking something, your staff was already investigating it. All in all, I had a very good stay.

If I chose live TV it wouldn't do anything and it would not let me sign in to Netflix even though it showed it as it said to wasn't connected to Internet but didn't give me an option to connect. We were only there 1 night for a concert so I didn't bother asking them to fix it for me, but it was definitely an inconvenience when we got back from concert and wanted to chill out for a bit before we went to sleep

    I stayed at the H.I. downtown to attend a conference nearby and my overall experience was positive. I was greeted at the front desk by a friendly and helpful staff member and provided with 2 free bottles of spring water for my 2-night stay. The parking was easy to navigate and I felt safe in the parking garage. My room was a corner room with a balcony and was quite spacious and clean. I did not eat the free breakfast because that was also provided at the conference I attended down the street. My only complaints were: 1.) the very slow elevator, and 2.) the noise you would expect to hear staying in a property in the heart of downtown. I would stay at this property again for future conferences and recommend it to others! Barb M.
