Guests really liked all of the great freebies during their stay at this hotel. People commented that being offered a beer at check-in was a great touch, as were the coffee and tea service in the morning, and the evening social hour with wine and margaritas. Others enjoyed having in-room yoga mats and bikes to borrow to explore the city.
The fact that the hotel is located within a block and a half of the Austin Convention Centre appealed to many business travellers. Guests have said that being near restaurants and live music venues in the Rainey Street District was another plus. For those who prefer to walk a little longer, getting to the downtown area is not difficult.
Superb service is what people encountered throughout their stay. From the friendly staff at check-in to the valet and bellmen, employees are extremely accommodating.
The contemporary shower design apparently isn't for everyone. Specifically, there is no door so guests have said that water gets all over the place when they take a shower. Others complained that they had to use all their towels to clean up the mess every single time. As far as safety is concerned, people have said that they were scared they would accidentally slip at some point.
Many guests who needed to park didn't love that valet parking is the only option here. They also didn't like paying for it, and having to wait extended periods to retrieve their cars.
It's a bit dark in the lobby and hallways, which made it difficult for some guests to see their room numbers. People have commented that the lack of lighting is not great for those with vision problems.
