Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved the area it is in. Very walkable to everything we wanted to see in our very short 3 day trip. The Moody Centre was just a few blocks away. The Texas State Capital building was so beautifully taken care of and the staff were so helpful and kind. We loved the architecture in Austin and we watched for the 1.5million bats on the bridge with loads of wonderful people (didnt see that many though but it was pretty cool to read about them). Went to the Mothership which I learned the proceeds after paying the comedians and musicians and staff, go to the Humane Society (that is awesome) . People were so lovely everywhere we went. The Downright Austin pool is lovely and Lacey (our server at the pool ) was fabulous! I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Food selection is very limited on property we were there for a rugby tournament so going out wasn’t an option secondly as a handicapped disabled veteran the cost of parking is $60.00 the valet said the handicapped parking is only accessible by using valet service so it cost another $60.00 for parking or I could have self parked for $50.00 but wouldn’t be able to use the handicapped parking.

I gave it 5 stars bc it was very clean and the staff was helpful and kind. The only thing I would complain about was my room being hot all night. They did send in someone to fix it. But that didn’t work. It was late and was tired. So I pushed through it.

Unsafe and sketchy garage. Bad lighting, tight spaces, gates don’t work. Requires going to an online portal to register your car and pay $49/night to a separate vendor. Confusing and weird.
