Staff courteous, clean rooms. Beautiful views of Texas Capitol. I wish they had more handouts/ flyers with activities to do in Austin and surroundings. Internet information is great on activities, however it lacked that certain places required a reservation (Pedernales falls or West Caves).

Great hotel. Hit and miss with staff friendliness. Check-in guy was excellent. Check-out guy looked like he’d taken a bite out of a lemon. Room wasn’t serviced on one of the days, despite a confirmed housekeeping request. Would stay there again though.
