Cleanliness, speed of lifts, gym, pool Unfortunately located across from a fraternity booking. This seemed to be the dedicated party room. Kept us awake till 4am. Someone else called security but they just regrouped 20 minutes after they left. Really need full time security on those floors when you allow these groups. Not fair on other guests. Also the pool bar wasn’t open and an apology sign for the inconvenience with a QR code to order food or drinks, then charge $5 for “delivery”. A bit rude considering it would have cost nothing if the pool bar was open.

I loved the hotel. The only thing I didn't like was when I checked in they didn't have the king size bed I had reserved. They only had a queen size and if I wanted a king size I would have to pay 50 dollars extra today. Im confused why I reserved a room and they gave it away. I also checked in early on the Hilton app so they knew I was coming.

Staff was very attentive and the room was so comfortable. I was attended to immediately when my toilet wasn’t working. The lighting in the bathrooms is atrocious. It’s like being in an interrogation room. Makes it very difficult to get ready.

Neither restaurant answered their phone when I tried calling. Three night stay called them both twice. Water is crazy hot hot hot, be careful. Refrigerator would not cool down. Be aware there is major construction going on right next door and it is not quiet at all during the days. I expected more for the money.

The hotel was nice with having nice amenities even a vending machine with needed necessities like Tylenol, bad aids etc. Had a Starbucks inside. Only drawback was trying to get back to hotel at night since it’s so close to Sixth street. It works if going out to nearby places. Overall happy front desk very friendly and hotel clean and nice.

I was charged $200 more by the hotel upon checkout than I should have been based on the agreed “pay at hotel” price in my booking confirmation. I am unable to reach them by phone and had no replies to my email asking for this to be resolved.

The pool bar closed early both nights we wanted to grab a nightcap up there. I am not sure how much you save by closing 45 minutes early. It can’t be much. We were disappointed. Room was nice. Bedding was good. Very close to the nightlife (easy walking distance). Great breakfast buffet with attentive wait staff. Bar was pricey, considering the proximity to other, much cheaper venues.

Upon arrival, VINNY the valet guy, was exceedingly RUDE. Not only did he start an argument with me about leaving my car for a few minutes, but he threatened to give me my keys back and make me park my car myself. Like what?!? Who does that?!? I heard him arguing with other guests about random things for 2 days. Not a good start at all. When I got to the pool area to claim my rented cabana (almost 4 hunny$), I needed a hotel key to enter, as there was NO attendant/or employee present. This was fine since I had just checked in & had a key, but what about my 9 other guests? The pool access would just be the beginning of the issues. My stay quickly turned into an epic fail, due to severe shortcomings in service & maintenance.The booked "cabana" offered NO shade & was filthy, covered in thick concrete dust that isn’t easily wiped away from skin, especially wet skin. The tables were dirty, the TV’s didn’t work, promised items like free water, snacks & food discounts required intervention from a manager. None of the staff was nice or helpful, sometimes even being flat out RUDE, turning my gathering into a frustrating & disappointing ordeal. How hard is it to wipe down a table or dust seat cushions? The hotel room itself was nice, clean & larger than expected, which was the only good thing about my stay.

I arrived at main entrance to check in. Before I had time to get out of the car, valet staff approved me and asked if I was checking in and I was told to drive into the parking garage to unload the luggage. I did and found that there was no lobby entrance from inside the garage. While my son went inside to get a cart for the luggage, I called the hotel and explained the situation and a bellman was sent to the garage to help me. I told Mary Jo or Mary Ann (not sure on the name) and the bellman that it was not a good look for Hilton Hotel. I could hear Mary laughing at the situation which I was not happy about but did not call her out on it. After I settled in the room, I decided not to let the unpleasant experience ruin my trip but to leave a review instead.

Don’t stay here unless you’re fine with spending extra unnecessary money. They charge you $53 just to park and that’s only if you have your key. It’s 60 something without it. They will also charge you $75 if you want a late checkout which only adds 2 hours. They ALSO charge you if you want breakfast. Valet is also $50 something. It can be confusing trying to find the building cause it’s surrounded by construction. It was also sketchy even just leaving the building. And on top of all that the staff could’ve been nicer. The interactions were very low energy and not welcoming. It was a nice room but the unnecessary charges ruined part of the stay. Will never be staying at a Hilton again.
- 4/5
I’m not sure what was up with the elevators but although it had six, I never saw or heard more than two working at a time which caused a huge amount of backup most of the time. And you need your room key to operate it which was a huge pain for many people. Overall, it was good stay and the staff are super!

Buffet breakfast wasn't the best and seating was limited. Hotel was clean and staff very helpful, but we've stayed at many Hiltons and this one was not up too par.

It’s such an elegant hotel. I have never stayed in something so bougie before. The staff was welcoming and helpful and they gave me a rundown of the place. The people staying there helped me find my room because I had no idea what floor I was on. I used uber a lot and the pickup area was breezy and quick. If you need anything you just have to call we wanted blankets and walked to the front desk unaware that we could’ve called. Everything is clean and it smelled amazing. 10/10 stay!

Had a great stay, nice hotel and close to everything. Only downfall, We upgraded to suite and I was surprised to see how dusty the furniture was which gave me bad allergies as well as when upgrading from premier room we lost the $25 credit food/beverage which I felt should of been taken off from the upgrade price

Great location and fair price. Beds are really comfortable but the bathrooms are tiny. Overall the facility is good but everything seems sort of dated….with new Austin Civic Center going up next door the Hilton should remodel itself.

This hotel is tired and probably the worst Hilton I have ever stayed at, rooms more like a budget hotel, staff miserable and do not understand service, worst breakfast we have ever had. Would recommend finding somewhere else

There was some dance competition in town so a lot of young people having fun. We didn’t mind but our neighbor was apparently an asshat and the hotel was ridiculous for bothering us. Not a nice feeling, we aren’t loud obnoxious people.

The stay was horrible. We went for a dance competition and this was the host hotel for the competition. The hotel booked 3 fraternities to have their formal. They only had three working elevators so the wait time for elevators was insane. Check out time on Sunday was ridiculous when waiting for an elevator. Will never stay there again. I don’t recommend it.

Disappointed in this Hilton. Staff was not very friendly on several occasions. Only 1-2 elevators were working... a 10 min wait every-time we wanted to use them. And false fire alarm went off TWICE in one night at 2am and 2:30am. Location was excellent though.

I liked the hotel, but I stayed for 3 nights and 4 of 6 elevators were not working for 2 days and 6 of 6 not working for 1 day. I was on the 23rd floor so stairs were not a good option while I was traveling for work and in a suit and heels. We were required to use the service elevators which stopped on every floor and full after a couple of stops. The workers who needed the service elevators were more annoyed than the guests. I asked for some type of discount since I was paying $370 per night and was offered 10,000 Hilton points worth about $50. Who cares about that, it simply makes me not want to stay at a Hilton again.
- 5/5
The majority of elevators were down for the duration of my stay during a busy conference. But the staff went out of their way to help guests use the service elevators. Top notch problem solving. And met nice people along the way. That’s how you do it.

The hand towels were stained with another guest's make up. Totally gross. no blanket in the room. Was told by front desk person that had i reserved a suite, it would have come with a blanket. Train your people Hilton...really?? It's the customer's fault?? The noise level at this hotel is completely unacceptable. Lastly, the beds and pillows are terrible. Had staff been trained properly, he would have simply apologized and offered us breakfast, which I would have declined.
