Very clean room. Convenient walking to many places. Great check in service. Breakfast way too many people, shortage of food and breakfast area was very warm. Not much fruit and what was there was rotten (apples only). The only disappointment of our stay.

The restroom door wouldn’t shut, the tub was dirty and the beds were not soft. For the price I paid the hotel didn’t even come close to the price. That hotel should be a $189 max a night for what you get. We are a military family and paying $340 for one night for that is just crazy! I would not recommend or stay here again.

We were given an upgraded room which was excellent! Very clean and lots of space! The only downside was the expensive parking. I think the hotel should provide some discount for people staying there -especially since the first several levels were empty for valet use only

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean, but I was there for five nights and wanted housekeeping mid-stay to get new towels. Usually on longer stays I hang the "do not disturb" sign because I don't need housekeeping daily, but then take it down if I'd like my room cleaned mid-stay. Housekeeping did not come to my room at any point during my stay, regardless of the sign. Additionally, one of the two elevators was out of service and remained so for the duration of my stay. Finally, the hotel wi-fi was unreliable and stopped working entirely at one point as I was working online. This was a problem as I was working remotely and had to leave to find a coffee shop with working wi-fi. Generally, I enjoy my stays at this chain, the beds are always comfortable and haven't had issues like this at any locations in the past. All of that plus $45/day to park and the value felt extremely lacking.

The front desk staff was great. Very helpful. We had our room facing east and on the first night the bar across the street was just going hard and was very very loud. We were able to change rooms after that with no issues and no extra cost. The hotel offered free breakfat, it was very simple but did the job. Our room was ok too. Clean but noone came to clean it once or replace the towels once. I did that myself. The lady was great but again I had to take all the towels to her at the housekeeping and get fresh ones. There was a decent size pool as well at the hotel and a gym. The hotel is located beside two homeless shelters. There were people everywhere near the hotel strang out on drugs, walking zombies, and sleeping on the side walks, in the alleys, on door steps or bus stops. Not a great picture. While walking around we saw one on the sidewalk masturbating in brought day light. There is the Austin police HQ there too across the street, a.d lots of police presence everywhere. We felt safe.

The water pressure is not great, nor is the hot water supply. The towels are scratchy and the light is poor in the bathrooms if you want to apply make-up. The air conditioner was quite loud in the room. Staff was great. Only one elevator was working, so it was faster to use the stairs.
