Not as advertised

I booked this hotel because it said that they had electric car chargers. When we arrived, there were only two of the type that we have at home. This is fine, but there were no rules for charging. Therefore, there were two Teslas parked in the spots charging from Friday-Sunday, fully charged. They were just camped out there all weekend. When we asked at the desk a very nice employee suggested that we use the garage across the street which we would have to pay for I order to use chargers over there. Next, I paid for breakfast in advance but was told that we only would receive breakfast the first day because we didn't get breakfast on the day we check out. I've traveled all over the world and have never stayed at a hotel with this policy. Also, the prices for the restaurants online were not the same as on the menus in the venues. We heard other guests complaining about this, too. Some of the wine, for example was twice the cost during happy hour as was stated on the menus. We didn't complain while we were there (except about the charging stations) because the staff was absolutely lovely, and these things are clearly above their pay grades. But, lesson learned. Won't stay here again,

Nice little hotel with a great view from the rooftop. Unfortunately, the service up there isn’t very welcoming — not surprised it’s never busy. Could be much better with a friendlier staff.

Not worth it

I’ve never paid $50 for parking in Austin, especially somewhere that’s not downtown. Got hit with charges they couldn’t explain. I definitely will never stay here again. The hotel wasn’t even that nice for the price
