Booked a room in the interior of the property but was given one on the exterior. Open music bar across the street and they play until 1-2 am. Complained and asked to move rooms but was given ear plugs. Located in the same area as the homeless shelter and did not feel safe.

Reception manager Brenon is a 12 out of 10!!! He checked us in 10/24 and checked us out 10/28. His pleasant disposition was a constant. And he couldn’t have been more helpful every time we had a question. Thank you Brenon! You made our stay so nice.

This hotel was perfect for our formula 1 race weekend. The rooms are clean and spacious. The bathroom looked like it was just updated. Nice amenities in the room, like Dove shampoo and body wash. There was a Keurig in the room. Breakfast was superb with a lot of choice and really good food! They had an automatic pancake maker which was really cool! The staff were all very nice and helpful, especially Brennan at the front desk. I would definitely stay there again. Only downside for us was limited dining options in walking distance, but other than that, a very nice hotel with a great staff!

Checked in by a lovely staff member who took the time to explain everything we needed to know, very efficient and approachable. Complex is lovely, love the pool, love how the breakfast area looks out to the pool. Room was lovely and spacious, large bathroom and shower and lots of natural light and was clean. Love that breakfast is included and options were good. Excellent location, walkable to everywhere and bus stop just across the road. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, wished we'd stayed here other times we'd been to Austin, will be back.
