    Fine hotel in middle of downtown. Walk to everything. Staff professional and helpful. Bar and restaurant scene vibrant during evenings. Rooftop bar with excellent views. Rooftop "pool" is more of a decoration, not a place to swim. Beds and linens comfortable. Room temp control quiet and consistent.

    The bad: hotel lost power for no apparent reason for an hour or so. Elevator service was spotty at best The pool was way over crowded and filthy. The hotel doesn’t claim ownership of this pool even though it sits on their roof. They allow folks to come in that aren’t staying at the hotel which accounts for the overcrowding

    I’ve stayed here a few times and always had a great experience so this bad stay was probably a one off. The valet said they would charge my car but they didn’t and they parked it on the street outside under a tree all night resulting in a bunch of bird poop (one whole side was covered in it). I’ll be honest in that I wasn’t expecting them to charge my car until they offered but if you say you’re going to do something just do it.

    Everything was amazing about this hotel. The only thing is the pool is small, which is totally fine, but was a little murky even early in the afternoon. I just think it should be cleaned a little more often with the amount of traffic in and out for what we pay to stay at this wonderful hotel.

    The biggest issue was housekeeping. We had to repeatedly ask multiple times throughout the day just to get our room cleaned, even though we did NOT have the privacy tag on the door. It became frustrating having to constantly follow up for something that should have been routine. What made the experience worse was the condition of the lobby bathrooms. They were honestly disgusting. Trash and paper towels were overflowing onto the floor, and one of the toilets was left in an unsanitary condition. For a downtown hotel that markets itself as upscale, this was unacceptable and reflected very poorly on overall maintenance and cleanliness. The location is convenient, but unfortunately the service and cleanliness issues overshadowed the stay. I expected much better attention to detail and hospitality from a Westin property.

    The biggest issue during our stay was the valet service. I understand hotels can get busy and handle a high volume of guests, but the wait times were extremely excessive and frustrating. We regularly use valet services when we travel and have honestly never experienced delays and customer service like this before. Communication was poor, the process felt disorganized, and getting our vehicle took far longer than expected multiple times during our stay. What made the experience even more disappointing was the lack of assistance with luggage. While unloading and loading our bags, the valet staff stood nearby watching without offering any help, yet it still felt like a tip was expected. We still tipped because we appreciate service industry workers, but the overall experience did not match the level of hospitality you would expect from a hotel in this price range. Overall, the hotel itself has potential, but the valet experience alone would make us think twice before staying here again.

    Not as pet friendly as what you would want, partly because of the location in the city, but also just the feel of the place, unless your dog is tiny (can be carried), suggest not trying to bring them. My biggest concern was the fact that I booked with Expedia and got multiple double charges from the hotel. Took multiple calls with Expedia agents and multiple visits to the front desk before getting told it’s fixed, still awaiting “pending charges” to either undo or correct, so be careful checking your final bill. One of my dogs actually ate something dodgy from likely the many homeless people roaming the area and actually had a really scary episode inside the hotel so we left early, another reason to maybe just leave a dog at home.

    The hotel was in good condition but there was absolutely nothing special about it. As we were leaving our room for the day the housekeeper was in the hallway next to our room and about to make up our room next. My husband spoke to her in Spanish and told her how much we appreciated her and we gave her a tip and told her we would be out for the day. When we returned at 9pm NOTHING had been done to our room. She took the tip and ran. I can certainly make up our own bed but all of our towels were dirty and on the bathroom floor and we had to call down and wait for new towels. I know things happen and it’s a minor inconvenience but it’s that she took the tip and took off and didn’t do anything to our room. Then when we did get back to our room we had to listen to two dogs in the room next door bark nonstop for the next two hours until their owners returned. We called the front desk and they had already been made aware of the situation by someone else and were doing all they can but that combined with the dishonest housekeeper and the $75 per night valet is just enough for us to not visit again. We live in Houston and visit Austin 3-4 times a year and will be going back to the Fairmont on our next visits.
