I stayed in a confortable and clean 1 King room. The staff at this location was kind and welcoming. There was a great snack selection in the lobby for getting a late night bite and putting it on your room. The fitness area was pretty good (free weights, treadmills, flat benches, balance balls, etc). The lobby and mezzanine level were both great for relaxing outside the room. The location is also a reasonable walking distance to downtown Austin locations and food spots as well as Target and Whole Foods.

Breakfast was not included in a musty hotel in a bad part of Austin. The room smelled of wet carpet and mildew. The bathroom was not clean and had warped cabinets from excessive water. The automated water station in the lobby was dirty and could have harbored bacteria or e.coli- I didn’t dare refill my water bottle. No mention of parking wasn’t included which was an extra $69 per day and so t forget to tip the valet on top of that! Very Disappointed overall with the property.

The location was good for our needs on this trip. The rate was good compared to surrounding hotels. We parked our car at a friends and biked to the hotel to save over $200. Several complaints, when we checked in early on a Thursday afternoon, there were no luggage carts and no rooms with an exterior window. We had a window facing the interior lobby even though we requested a window facing the Capitol. On Saturday night the 4 or 5 elevators weren't working so when we checked out we had to carry all our bags down 14 flights!
