One of the best hotels we stayed at in Texas! The hotel was nice and clean. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was delicious. My only complaint was we asked for more towels and never received them.

Front Desk staff was very good and helpful. AC unit doors are next to the bed head board in rooms which is a draw back to get a good night sleep. First room assigned had AC unit door partly open and very noise. Staff was helpful and moved to a different room.

The suite was very nice and spacious. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were excellent. The pool was nice. The breakfast was ok. The surrounding area is a mixed bag - plan on parking inside the basement. Walking back at night was unsightly- not for a woman alone. The overall location is good for driving/visiting Austin. The bathroom was very good. The whole suite was very clean. I had a good stay and slept well. The black out curtains were the best I have ever experienced. Recommended

Our door didn't lock properly in our first room, and on the first night when the AC started making a very loud noise (while in the off state) the only solution was to change rooms, around midnight. That was an inconvenience, but the rest of our stay was fine. Rooms were clean, breakfast is decent, only 1 encounter with 1 unfriendly staff, pool and gym were nice.

Okay

It was okayyy, the people on reception were nice. Unfortunately there were some negatives, the air con was really loud, they didn’t clean the room over the 4 days we were there. The breakfast was okay but it was also really busy - not the hotels fault. The location was good, but now you’re having a drink with that I guessthere was a lot of homeless nearby Overall for the price it was okayyy, it was the best value hotel when we’re looking. But if I were to return I would go for a more upscale hotel. Ultimately it was the price for us.
