Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has adequate rooms, very nice, but was affected by non-disclosed construction during booking. The service was friendly but had some issues with valet parking. The location is good but felt a bit close to a homeless area. The dining experience was positive, especially with kid-friendly options. The facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers views of the Capitol and Downtown, but the rooms just didn't feel cozy. Noise was an issue until early morning. The service was amazingly helpful, with staff apologizing for any inconveniences. The location is convenient for touring the Capitol Building and Sixth Street restaurants, but a bit out of the way for other Austin sights. The dining experience, priced at $18, was average.
The hotel has spacious rooms that were perfect for our needs, although the layout felt a bit cramped in certain areas. The beds were large and very comfortable. The service was exceptional, especially the accommodating and hospitable staff. However, the location left something to be desired due to a lack of shade and the presence of a large homeless population. The dining options were decent, with friendly and helpful staff, though some prices seemed a bit high. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
When I got to the hotel, the rooms were excellent, very nice, neat, and clean. However, they are in dire need of a deep clean and an update. Sadly, when I called reception at 7 pm to report it, they seemed indifferent to the matter. The service was very friendly and helpful, but it felt a bit disorganized with a sloppy 'computer system. ' The location was good, a good distance to the Capital, but a little far away from downtown, and unfortunately full of homeless people nearby. The dining experience was delicious, similar to most Hilton brand hotels, but I had an unpleasant encounter with a homeless woman attempting to take my child's drink away. The hotel has facilities like a locker room, weight room, and cardio equipment. Rates are high, and the presence of many homeless people was a drawback.
The hotel is conveniently located near downtown Austin and within walking distance of several attractions. The rooms are in need of upgrades, with issues like noise disturbances and outdated decor. However, the service was friendly and helpful. The location, though undergoing construction, is still central and close to popular spots. The dining options are limited, and some areas need renovation, but the staff is accommodating. Overall, a mixed experience with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were excellent, equipped with all the necessary amenities one would want, but the noise from nearby construction early on a weekend morning was quite bothersome. The service was accommodating and helpful, but the loud volume of the games being played was not to my liking. The location was okay, with easy downtown access, although the tidiness of the surroundings left much to be desired. The dining experience was decent, with friendly staff, but the rates seemed high for what was offered. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
