Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Liked the entertainment, the cafe and the decor. Did not like that drain on tub was not working effectively. The mattress had huge valleys from being too worn. The drapes didn’t fully close and let in too much light. The safe key did not work properly—it was jamming.
Built in 1886 it has a 19th century elegance. This does come with some quirks, but, the rooms had a comfortable bed and workable bathroom.
The hotel itself has live music in the bar/resturant, a decent place to eat breakfast (hotel prices), very efficient valet (expensive) and has high tea on most weekends (must reserve early).
Overall this is not a bargain experience, but, pulls off old school elegance quite nicely.
The location is great if you want enjoy 6th street, it is not in the middle of dirty 6th, but, just a few blocks walk away so you can enjoy the nightlife and retire to a calm quiet area to rest.
A bit dated, paint cracking in closet. Expected with age. Other than that, a loveky old hotel w. the most amazing chocolate cake in their bakery and mutant cinnamon rolls!
Everyone was helpful and the hotel is beautiful and historic. I look forward to visiting Austin and staying at The Driskill again. Also, location is near so many restaurants within walking distance.
