Security guard kept harassing me....
This woman came to my car in the parking garage and needed to make sure "I was a hotel guest" and didn't do the same for anyone else. So I showed her my key cards and she gave me a look then walked away??
But here's the crazy part...
I had been out and I was tired so I go into my room around 3 AM(mind you I was not visibly impaired at all) and then SHE COMES KNOCKING ON MY DOOR AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING to "check on me". I asked her if I had done anything wrong and she said no, so I asked why she insisted on harassing me and she says, "I won't anymore ma'am."
I was in shock.
I've never been treated this way in my entire life and I have a lingering suspicion that there was an undertone of discrimination that lead to this.
I was a woman staying in a room alone.
I hadn't done anything wrong, and I didn't deserve any of that. I paid for a room just like everyone else did. It made me feel really really sad; I couldn't have been more respectful yet I received exactly the opposite.
You guys can do better; no one deserves to be so obviously singled out like that without cause whatsoever.
The property was great, especially for thre price. But the phone lines were and continue to be down, making communication with hotel staff cumbersome.
The rooms are very spacious but if yuo want to use the kitchen in the suite, the equipment (pots and pans) is of poor quality, as is that in their fitness center. The room was missing coffee filters too, making me have to walk downstairs to the front desk first thing in the morning (because of the downed phone lines) to ask for some.
Otherwise, the place is very cute and would get a perfect review, save for thr above details.
Beautiful hotel in South Austin. Special touches, good linens, beautiful furnishings. Secure parking garage ($30 per night). Classy yet laid back atmosphere.
It is a very cold environment. No carpet, just concrete floors and a few rugs. Our hair dryer didn’t work. The electricity in the kitchen area went out on day two. We had to call maintenance to reset. It was a funky Austin kind of place but for the money I was not impressed.
Excellent, friendly service. A rare hidden gem on South Congress away from the hustle bustle a mile away, yet so convenient to walk to the great restaurants and music scene. The staff is topnotch. Thank you! MK
Overall, it was okay, good ambiance and amenities to add on. The lobby and common areas were beautiful. The rooms themselves felt very stringent- not really cozy or ideal for lounging around in. The bed was also uncomfortable and you could hear the housekeeping team chattering in the hallway early in the morning. Not obnoxious, just thin walls. Bathroom floors don’t have rugs or mats and are glossy cement. I slipped and was fortunate that my roomie caught me before the ground did.
This hotel is an absolute GEM! Don't waste your time staying anywhere else. Colton house is a MUST! I was floored on how perfect this hotel was and i stay at a variety of hotels. I'd go back to Austin just to stay here again.
Stay was okay. My air conditioning in the room wasn’t great. 33 dollars a night for parking is absolutely ridiculous considering there is zero parking near the hotel. Sketchy area also.
