“My boyfriend and I had to have an unplanned stay in Austin for the night. We booked a room last minute at 7pm. Usually our experiences with hotels aren't the best, but this stay was quite pleasant and enjoyable. The check in was fast, the room was super clean, modern and inviting. We loved the little details like oue name on the TV monitor that welcomed us to the room. The view was AMAZING!!! The hotel was modern and the design was impecable. The low light…”
“I stayed in room 1344 and my mini fridge was so loud that I had to unplug it to get some sleep. Every time the A/C came on, it would produce a loud bang that would jolt me awake. If you order food delivery to your room from one of the hotel restaurants, you won’t get any trays, plates, or silverware—just plastic utensils and flimsy cardboard boxes that will leak any greases. There’s only one group of elevators and they were surprisingly slow when calling t…”
“I chose a high-floor room with a skyline view during my stay in Austin, and that turned out to be a great decision. The staff throughout the hotel were consistently helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. The bed comes with four pillows, though they were a bit softer than I personally prefer. One thing I wasn’t a big fan of was how quickly the room’s lighting automatically shuts off—even while sitting and watching TV, the lights would …”
“Stayed here with my fiancé for a quick little getaway and we enjoyed ourselves! The amenities are awesome, fitness classes, a giant gym and locker room. The hot tub was really nice and the entire pool area has amazing rooftop vibes with awesome views of the city. The hotel could use some minor cosmetic touch ups but overall it’s a great facility and such a convenient location!”
“While the rooms are nice, the location is extraordinarily noisy due to construction and downtown. The elevators are incredibly slow, so leave in plenty of time to get to your conference. Please be aware that all bedding contains down unless you ask for it to be replaced. The employees are very nice and adept. It is easy to walk to a lot of places from this hotel.”
