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.

The property itself is great! The pool are is beautiful, friendly staff, and great breakfast buffet. The downtown area in Austin is definitely what you would expect from a big city. We still walked from the hotel to 6th street at night and felt safe. It’s very close to 6th street and all the attractions. Great BBQ right around the corner. Great price and good location over all!
