    The shower water didn't drain properly and that was a safety hazard. We had to use more towels to dry the floor to avoid slipping. Seems like a small engineering miss.

    Nice boutique hotel. Very good restaurant, though timings were limited (especially their closing at 9PM). Somewhat inconvenient navigation from parking - up one elevator, then across a walkway to the lobby elevators. Parking is quite pricey at $55 a night.

    Our stay at the Otis was amazing from check-in to check-out. The front desk was always super friendly and attentive. Huge shout out to Aiden for checking us in and out on both days. The pool and rooftop bar was such a cool spot to hangout. The rooms are nice and spacious with a large walk in shower and ambient lighting. The lobby also just smelled really nice. They offer the scent for sale since it’s locally made. Overall, I’d definitely stay here again

    Otis is great as far as experience goes. Rooftop pool is awesome. What sucks is your told you're paying a certain price to stay there when you book, but once you're at the front desk you get hammered for 200 to 300 more dollars in other fees. I'll go again for the rooftop pool.

    We loved the turntables in the rooms and the collection of records to borrow, made for a very unique experience. The pool bar was a great place to relax and soak in some sun. The food was terrific everywhere, from the Acreage 41, to the burger joint attached outside. The location was not the best, not much within walking distance besides the Capital.

The hotel is also located walking distance from the UT campus which is very convenient for those who want to explore!

    We enjoyed the overall appearance of hotel and staff was friendly. Prime location as we were visiting UT Austin. We did not like that we paid pet fees to take our Shihtzu and on top of that got charged a noise fee which we were not told about beforehand as he would bark sometimes and was more than the original pet fees. Self-parking fees are almost as much as the valet fees. Parking should be included.

    The hotel location, its staff and restaurant were great. The lobby was nice and we felt welcomed when we arrived. Once we arrived at our room things began going south. Yes, the room was clean, but the layout was horrible. When you walk through the door you are in the bathroom. The glass door shower is immediately to your right, and the bathroom sink to your left. A few steps further and you are in the bedroom. The beds were comfortable but the city view room I requested was terrible and gave me a view of the rear side of some dilapidated buildings and their roof tops.

    The rooms were nice in comparison to other hotels we looked at. It was nice with the big TV and record player. The location was a bit off from the main part. The car valet was extremely overpriced. It was $65 when parking down the street I saw was $20. The restaurant in the hotel tried to be fancy but the food was average and almost sickening. Although the rooms were nice, it was missing some touches

    The Otis has a very nice pool. Restaurant is just Okay. Honestly, in my opinion, The Otis is a 4-star hotel. Not a 5 star. They apply a lot of fees that you are not aware of. Like a resort fee? This place doesn't feel like a resort. They applied $50.00 to my account for a two-night star. It was use it or lose it. I had to eat on premise. So be aware. Also, parking is very expensive. Not a bad hotel, but also not one I'm looking forward to returning to.

    We loved the Hotel staff and service, the rooms were clean and so was the hotel. My only gripe which I hate even mentioning, was the layout. We had a King Bedroom, however when you open the door you have to walk through the bathroom w/ your shoes on, to get to the bedroom. There isn't a bench or any space to take off your shoes before hand. Small detail but a little annoying. I don't know how the other rooms are set up, maybe they are different. Other than that we loved this place.

    I stayed here for a concert with my mom and loved it! So many spots to eat within walking distance, I could walk back from concert, and hotel itself was very cool. Lobby was beautiful and rooms were relaxing, comfortable, and looked just as pictured. My favorite thing was the record player and the great selection of music downstairs. We took advantage and had nice music playing when we took a break from being around town. We loved it and would definitely recommend!

    When I scheduled the stay, I was offered an option to prepay for breakfast. This seemed convenient so i chose to do so. However when we arrived at the hotel to check in at 9:30 at night, we were handed a voucher to ise for room service and told that it had to be used in the next 30 minutes as the kitchen was closing. I informed them that I purchased the prepaid breakfast and was told that it could not be ised on the day of checkout. So for a 1 night stay, i was robbed of my prepaid breakfast. I will be requesting a refund. Aside from that the hotel was nice. But I feel like they scammed me so I will not be returning.

    Fantastic stay at The Otis. Such an ideal location in downtown right by the university campus. The rooftop bar has quite a view and delicious cocktails. The restaurant at the hotel - Acre 41 - is a must visit. All of the dishes ordered by our party were excellent. We booked a King room with a view, which is recommended. Very comfortable bed and great shower. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.
