    Room was clean and well maintained, staff was very helpful, glad there was a restaurant and bar due to our late arrival. The food was great. Elevators were a little unpredictable, but they do have it posted that they are updating those soon. Walking distance to many restaurants and other downtown locations.

    The bar has a beautiful view of the city. The staff was nice, I just wish they would have communicated better when the WiFi and TV was down. Apparently there was a block outage? Other than that the hotel was great and in good location with decent prices.

    Room was clean but felt a little outdated and bathroom old Cracks/marks and tub as well. Internet and cable was down, no free coffee -4$a cup for basic k pod and only valet parking which was 55$. Staff was super nice and friendly even in bar. Just room was kind of small for price i paid 400$ a night but have had better rooms with updates and bigger space for less. Could be just the vibe of downtown hotels. Will be the last time I stay there. Just didn't get the bang for my buck

    My initial impression was the hotel was pretty decent for my stay for a conference. However, when it came time to iron my clothes the iron and the closet was not working I had to wait hours to get a new iron. Which was disappointing. The next day when I left my room and returned after a long day, I came back to excessive amount of shaved/cut hair in the floor of my bathroom and in my toilet and on my toilet seat. Mind you this was not my hair. When I left in the morning the bathroom is completely clean and when I returned someone else's hair was in my bathroom and on the bathroom floor and in the toilet which was very disgusting and creepy, made me feel like someone came into my room. When I complained, the the manager moved me to another room.. this is only my experience, and I just wanted to share.

    The room was spacious and comfortable. We had a nice view from the 10th floor. Staff was friendly and helpful at check-in and check-out, and the valet got our vehicle in and out quickly! The bar/restaurant closed at 10:00, so by the time we got back to the hotel from the football game we had to go somewhere else to get food and a drink.

    $22 for breakfast with lazy options is highway robbery! Egg, bacon, sausage, fruit, cereal, toast, English muffins and bagel! For that price Waffle maker, pancakes, French toast options would be great. IHOP down the street was cheaper and offered way more options for the same price. If you’re not going to offer those items then you should at least lower that price. Pay way too much for the stay to have a crappy breakfast option. Other than that everything else was great thank you. Hookem horns.

    The bed was VERY squeaky and made a lot of noise anytime we moved, which was pretty annoying. Breakfast, drinks, and snacks were also insanely expensive for what you get. When we first arrived, the girl at the front desk wasn’t very helpful and seemed unsure of what she was doing, which made check-in a little frustrating. However, the Latino gentlemen who helped us afterward were AMAZING! They were super helpful, polite, attentive, and made us feel very welcomed. They definitely made our experience better. Besides those things, everything else was good and we enjoyed our stay overall.

The new room was great until the morning we woke up and there was a puddle of water soaked in the carpet in the bathroom entrance.

    Nice property. Every other time we used the elevator we had to wait almost nine minutes for the elevator to reach our floor. Valet is the only option for parking on the property and it was nearly the same cost as the hotel room.

    The elevator wasn’t working properly whenever we needed to go down - which was a pain (particularly with dogs). We were glad it was dog friendly tho! Reception and service was mixed. Some were very kind and others seemed like they couldn’t be bothered. I didn’t realize it was so close to east 6th street (my fault). So depending on what you’re doing that could be good or bad. All in all - it wasn’t the best but it also wasn’t the worst. The parking was also insanely expensive!

    The Hotel rooms smell old, they are clean but outdated for sure. The elevators they have are seriously outdated and honestly feel scary. They shake and feel unsafe. The valet at the hotel is also too expensive. It’s almost 70$ per night and at other hotels Iv stayed that were way better and updated cost only 30$ max a night. My big concern as well is being overcharged for my Parking. I only stayed 3 nights and got charged for 4 nights! Valet charged me 304$ !!! That is ridiculous

    When we first landed, our key fob wasn’t working. Went downstairs back and forth getting a new key to only find out that the door lock was dead. Staff was great though in helping us through the process. Just be aware the rooms don’t have running ac, it’s a blowing fan, we set it at 60 and felt humid and sticky in the extreme Austin heat.

    One of the staff members I spoke to upon my arrival was unbelievably rude and unbelievably unhelpful. I asked if they had parking or if it was strictly valet. She rudely answered it was just valet for 80$ overnight and when I asked if she knew anywhere else that allowed parking she rudely answered “how am I supposed to know. I only work here. We have valet.” with the most attitude. Every other staff member was beyond kind and helpful. There was hair in the tub, batteries left out on the couch and the shower curtain smelled of mildew leaving me to question if the room ever got cleaned. Free WiFi wouldn’t work at all. A motel 6 would be cheaper and same quality you would receive here.

    Overall my experience was horrible, I had 2 rooms reserved. I came to Austin to bring my nieces to 2 concerts. But the hotel stay was horrible. We got there Sunday night and one of the rooms stank very humid and like wet. Also my nieces said when they laid in the bed it felt welt. I call the front office no answer. Then the elevator was taking so long after u press it to come up to our floor. One of the days it took close to 25 min I ended up calling the front desk hoping they will answer. They had to send someone to go up to our floor just so the elevator will make it to us. That made us late to one of the concerts . Over all I don’t recommend at all .

    The valet parking is an utter ripoff - about $70 per night but extra fees and mandatory tips are charged in addition to the nightly rate. There is no one at this hotel to assist older guests or guests who need help with their luggage, etc. as far as I could determine. Meal prices are outrageous. I wanted yogurt and a cup of coffee & was required to buy the $25 buffet breakfast for very little food on a Saturday morning.

    The AC unit in the living area part of my suite didnt work the entire time. The $69 dollars a night for valet parking is extremem.especially since my car didnt move the entire time. When I did ask the valet to get something out of my car for me..he handed me my keys , gave me the directions how to walk up the ONE WAY for cars only ramp to get what I needed and bring him the keys back. That and the fact I have to go all the way back down a very slow elevator after a long day in order to get my Uber eats which are not allowed to deliver straight to the room is the reason this will be my 1st and ONLY time ever to stay here.

    I was ok with the stay, the room was spacious and amenities were ok. I liked that there was a microwave in my room as well as the coffee maker and fridge. On the Saturday morning of my stay, there was a fire evacuation but from my room no. 1405, i was completely unaware of the evacuation until i happened to step out of my room to leave for an event and the cleaner had to signal to me that we needed to evacuate. Knowing you dont use lifts, she still called the lift? But we headed to the stairs. Being on the 14th floor was not helpful and i was late to my event. I couldnt stay to see the outcome of the evacuation, but saw all was ok when i returned later that afternoon. No attempt to contact me was made. I saw the fire trucks all leaving later that day.
