"Breakfast was great! There was a great variety of food and it was delicious. The one thing people need to know about this place is that the rooms are not sound proof or anywhere near. We stayed on the 8th floor, and we could clearly hear what people were saying in the hallways and in the room next to ours. It was loud and hard to sleep because of that. For that reason, I would not stay at this property again, although the rooms themselves were nice and well maintained."

"I liked the location. Walking distance to 6th Street and all the attractions. I loved my room, which was large and very clean. Very good buffet breakfast."

"Check in was flawless. This hotel has a fragrance that is so memorable and I wish I could immerse myself in it. It’s not heavy, it’s clean and iconic. Diana greeted us at check in and she was simply amazing. I had booked a king size room with at random on accident that was ADA compliant. She offered a walk in shower option that we enjoyed much more, the room overlooked the pool. We had stayed here years ago when they first opened for our anniversary and they have remained consistent in their attention to detail. We had a concert to attend and that was our reason for going to Austin. However, staying at the Fairmount is a treat, it’s an event within itself. We ordered room service for breakfast and it was perfection. This is my absolute favorite hotel and I travel often. I can’t wait to return and I know the people and the service will be just the way I fondly remember it. I miss it already! Thank you!!"

"Front desk staff was fine. The other staff within the hotel is lacking. The poolside bar staff was pretty rude. The guy argued with me about what I ordered … even when he turned out to be wrong he was still rude. Coffee shop staff also give off the air that they would rather pour coffee on you than for you. We have stayed at this location a few times and probably will start staying somewhere else. It’s a great location and the pool is heated and peaceful but we’re tired of dealing with employees that make our stay unpleasant. "

"There’s nothing I don’t like about the Van Z, adding the bar downstairs is just incredible. I love it so much more. Had shrimp and grits on Saturday night at the Upstairs bar it took a little bit too long, but the woman that brought it to me was very apologetic, which there was no need. I had no problem waiting, as the bar service was great and the band was great. I like to tip the Valet guys, so I went to the ATM on the lobby level, and the lights that are on the ground to the left to the right of the ATM shine up, making it hard to read the keys, push buttons on the actual ATM machine Other than that, the Van’s zt, Spot on as usual Might be back there next weekend or the weekend after"
