The staff was friendly and helpful. However, I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of our rooms. We discovered a roach in one the bathrooms upon entering our room. Some of the furniture looked warped and old. The bathroom countertops still had stains on them and there was long pieces of hair in both showers.

The rooms. I have rented rooms many times, but the price i paid for this fabulous, spacious room was GREAT!!!!! MY only downfall was no hot tub, even the pool area took precautions with people and covid. I was impressed.

Too short on valet staff. Rooms were very small and cramped (king size bed room). Bathroom was very small. TV outdated. Satellite channels were very limited - only a handful. Fold out sofa was HORRIBLE!!! Not fit to be a bed!!! Worst one we have ever seen in a hotel room! Like sleeping on concrete!

Visited friends in Austin. Second time

The staff is lovely. The front desk, omelette man and bartenders stand-out. 33 bucks a night to park seems excessive but our group of 6 had a great stay. Thank you.
