    A conveniently located stay in a somewhat unloved hotel...

    • Stayed 2 nights

    An unusually low price for an Austin hotel, together with a very central location is a foreboding combination that should prepare even the most naive gap year traveller for this to be, er.... a little rough around the edges..... My room was fine and comfortable but the hotel's overall feel is scruffy and the hallway carpets are in need of replacement or at least a very deep clean. I initially thought I'd walked into the goods service elevator by mistake, but no, this was the one meant to carry guests! There was no fridge or microwave in the room. However, a microwave is available 24hrs in the hotel's lobby meaning that there is nothing between you and that delicious late night cuppa .... apart from a ten minute walk negotiating a scalding liquid via multiple heavily sprung fire doors. The hotel appears to take pride in its once-in three-days linen changing policy, but if this borne of environmental empathy then please also minimise all that shameful single-use plastic at breakfast! Thankfully I'd returned my rental car just before arriving here, since the parking is an eye-watering 45 USD/day, which seems way out of proportion with the hotel quality and room rate....

    The location is very convenient, walkable to many downtown sites and sitting right on multiple bus routes that serve countless other attractions. Eggs (albeit wrapped) and fresh fruit are provided at breakfast - very welcome and uncommon in hotels of this category.... The somewhat understaffed reception was flexible with giving a late checkout to 1pm - much appreciated given my late afternoon flight.... There is a passable pool here but I swam at the awesome Barton Springs instead (take bus 30)!

    Plumbing; both the sink and the shower drains were very slow. Wife did not like that at all.

    Close to UT where daughter attends.

    Breakfast is disappointing - it is self-service and all food was gone within an hour, so guests who arrived after 8.45am got nothing! There are no staff there to tidy tables or monitor/replenish food, which we found very strange. For the prices we were paying, you'd expect all guests to be provided with adequate breakfast options. The room decor is tired and needs upgrading eg we had torn window curtains. Not a major issue, but surprising to see.

    The location is brilliant - right in the centre of downtown, next to the Capitol. We walked everywhere and there are public buses nearby to get to different parts of Austin (including one that goes directly to the aiport). Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, beds very comfortable and excellent shower pressure. Good WiFi signal.

    I asked for and was granted a late checkout, but was met with persistent knocking as the original checkout time came in the morning. I also notified the front desk of a loudly crying baby at 10:30pm. I was told she would speak with the room. The crying persisted until midnight and returned at 8a through the remainder of our stay.

    The whole place is in serious need of upgrading and cleaning. Exterior walkways are dirty with loose plaster, same with the elevators, and only one ice machine was working. The place just feels neglected, like nobody cares.

    The staff was good, the room itself wasn't bad, and the location was good.

    Typically, I am a very simple person, but this hotel was the bare minimum. Lights were broken in the room blankets and sheets seem to be very damp and wet. Air conditioning filters were not cleaned. Valet parking was extremely expensive. The price for this hotel and valet does not match the quality of the actual stay. The staff was extremely unprofessional at the reception desk. The receptionist was watching Netflix on her phone and texting on the phone. The valet park were very nice though.

    The breakfast was disappointing. Kind of gross that everybody has to use the same half gallon of milk. Now and days peoples hygiene is not the same and not of importance to anybody. Then the parking lots are very sketchy and dark especially the underground parking lot with minimal lighting. Then all the parking spaces on the property have to have an extra valet payment when they are actually parked right outside your room, thats ridiculous. The only free spaces to park are outside on the street. This hotel needs a huge upgrade with everything such as the rooms, the parking lot, breakfast area, and a major cleaning inside and outside.

    The only thing that was OK with me was the location since we were actually going to an event at the Moody theater.

    We found someone's dirty socks in the corner, there was hair in the bathtub, and the carpet and drawers were rather dirty. We had a feeling that other than bed linen and towel, the rest wasn't cleaned at all.

    The location is within walking distance to the central part of the city and the beds were comfy.

    The breakfast attendant was rude. The elevators were down and the ice machines did not work. Also, be aware that you have to pay daily for a parking pass not just for the duration of your stay.

    Jonathan and Jayden were absolutely wonderful, they made up for the ice machines not working, the elevators being down, key card machines hanging off the wall, and being kicked out by the breakfast attendant. I liked that they had their own parking garage and the location was great.

    A lot could have been better. The bathroom smelled of bleach and was still not very clean. The wall was broken as in bits of bricks on the floor. The airco was broken. The lights partially did not work. The breakfast was horrible and stale. The pool unusable and one night there was a fire outside the lobby which the reception didn't even notice. The elevator stank so much I had to take the stairs. The room was unclean and I did not dare to walk barefoot. It was drafty.

    I really can't say anything positive except that it was in a good location for what I wanted to do in the week that I visited. Perhaps also that the room was large.

    Valet parking was expensive and valet not always in position. Rather than anticipate consumables running short, management tended to wait for things to run out before taking any action. Some of the staff were sullen and gave the impression that customer service was a chore and they hated the job. Property was tired and in need of a refresh.

    Location was excellent. Room was large. Included breakfast was a bonus.
