⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Stay! Stayed in a Premiere King room — it was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. The bathroom was spacious and room was plenty size! The room service was both quick and delicious. Every staff member I interacted with, from valet to front desk, was kind and professional. Overall, a clean, comfortable, and welcoming experience. Highly recommend!

We went to have dinner at the restaurant and someone came out three times to tell us they were out of stuff we ordered. I finally asked, what do you have? I ended up with a cesser salad with steak on top. It was a Tues. The front staff was very friendly and the hotel is nice, the room was comfortable. My only complaint about the room is, put a normal coffee maker in there. Not everyone wants foamy Expresso. I just wanted a cup of hot black coffee. Oh, and I had to have someone bring caffeinated Expresso cups because they only had decaffeinated in the room.

The front desk staff was unwelcoming and unfriendly. Check in experience was horrible. With kids at UT I have stayed at many area hotels and do yourself a favor and stay at The Graduate or Embassy Suites where you are welcomed and valued.
