  • The bed was wonderful, the staff, friendly and helpful.
  • $15 breakfast bar was horrible. Really horrible. Even napkin starched.

“ The most important elements of a hotel stay, I think, are a comfortable bed and friendly, helpful staff. This hotel was definitely 5 stars in these essential elements. Couldn't ask for more. Avoid the breakfast bar because the offerings are less quality than you would find at the lowest priced roadside motel offering a breakfast bar. Perhaps ordering from the menu is a better experience at this hotel. ”

  • Location.
  • Was assured via phone room would have 2 beds. Had to pay extra for foldout.

“Mediocre choice for high end hotel in the middle of Austin.”

  • The staff was excellent - the hotel very clean - location perfect for the event we were attending.
  • There was nothing negative to report.

“The room was a bit small, but the comfort of the bed made up for it. I had an unusual circumstance where I had to be taken from the hotel by ambulance and have to say that the staff went above and beyond expectations. I would highly recommend the hotel.”

  • Awful experience, people fighting next door at 3:00 am and smoking as well.
  • Very small rooms.

“Nice, old setting, but with quite small rooms.”

“Valet parking was another $27. There was a perfume smell in 2 rooms I was allergic to, so we had to leave a window open.”

  • The staff
    was great!
  • Carpet seemed old.

“Parking is overpriced and because of the location downtown there is not much to park somewhere else. It seemed like the hotel was taking advantage of the situation. Let's face it, $27 for Valet parking and not self parking.”

  • Very nice accommodations - beautiful interior design.
  • Unfriendly woman at the front desk - not helpful.

“Nice hotel - great valet team - front desk employees need to learn to smile and make customers feel welcome.”

  • Absolutely beautiful with incredible staff and service.
  • Parking was expensive.

“This was a beautiful hotel with excellent service and staff. I took my granddaughter to visit the capital building and she felt so pampered and special in this hotel. They were courteous and helpful. Security is great here too.”

  • Location
  • Charge for everything parking, internet, breakfast

“The hotel is nice, but please plan on bringing extra cash. Parking cost 25 dollars a day, the internet is 10.95 a day. Its not business traveler friendly, its more of a get way with the wife type place.”

  • It was very nice and exactly where we wanted to stay. Staff was very friendly.
  • I liked everything.

“Staff was wonderful. Very helpful. We had an unforgetable night.”

  • Location.
  • Check-In staff was very rude.

“Not a 4 star hotel
becausse they market their hotel
at a price & then don't offer the ammenities needed. We needed double beds for our stay but weren't offered
at the same price. The upcharged us another $40 for doubles. They said that's how they compete
with everyone by offering only a king & not doubles. The so called pool was a joke. Absolutely worthless. Plus the parking was about $30 as well. So the overall value of this purchase was very poor. I could of stayed
at a resort style hotel & paid full price for what I got
at this hotel. very dissapointed!”

  • The bed was excellent.
  • WiFi was ridiculously expensive.

“The rooms are very comfortable. The TV was a little old. There were too many homeless people and vagrants near the hotel. There were few open restaurants near the hotel on a Sunday after 9 pm. The WiFi internet was way too expensive ($6.95/hour or $10/day).”

  • Easy to get to.

“The hotel was fantastic for a romantic weekend, but being on business I really needed more space and bed accommodations.”

  • Location to downtown.
  • Lack of updates. Old room furniture and carpet. Stingy ammenities.

“If you need to be downtown and prefer an older hotel then this is the place for you. Small lap pool, hot-tub, sauna, and exercise equipment in the basement were quite nice. Rooms are showing their age. Internet is extra. TVs are old.”

  • Location is good.
  • No free WIFI.

“The location is great for activities in the downtown area. No in/out parking. No free WIFI. Rooms seem small compare to U.S. standards.”
