Good, but always room for improvement
Booked the room on the drive to Austin, and was impressed by how smooth everything went as soon as we arrived at the hotel. We asked for extra linens at the desk as we were checking in, and they never arrived; really the only negative comment about the hotel. Stayed there several times, like it due to location and value.

Disappointed in Austin
State Tournament
I was first put in a room that was already occupied. The following evening, the front desk called at 1:45 AM to see if my room was occupied. On four separate occassions, I had to go back downstairs to get my keys recoded because they were not working. I signed up for the shuttle on my departure date. I had to wait an additional 25 minutes for the shuttle because my reservation wasn't there. The breakfast was not included with the hotel, and it was expensive for the quality you received. Despite my problems, only on when I was checking out did I receive an offer of a breakfast voucher. The customer service was terrible.

This question makes no sense.
Crowne Plaza - Austin Texas
The room was clean but very cramped. The refrigerator didn't work, you have to run the shower for some minutes so it can warm up and you have to enter the bathroom and turn around because there is not enough room to sit down. It was a room and it was clean and cheap, so all in all the stay was okay.

Crowne Plaza
I stayed at the Crowne Plaza because I was running the Livestrong Marathon. Checking in was a breeze, it took no almost no time at all. Quick and painless. The hotel is right off the highway. Shopping and dining are very close by. Overall it was a good experience and I would sereiously consider staying at the Crowne Plaza again.

Good Deal
I've stayed at this hotel many times over the past 15 years or so (back when it was the Red Lion Hotel). Even though it's not a new hotel, they've done a great job with upkeep and I would highly recommend it. Great quality for the price, considering the downtown hotels can easily be double the price.

Hotel provides shuttle that will take you to 6th Street Entertainment District. They can't guarantee you a return trip, but you can easily catch a cab back for about $12-$14.

Wonderful Stay
Since I Booked through [...] everything was already paid for, just had to show ID when I checked in it was fast and very courteous. Room was nice size and the bed was very comfortable way above the other hotel chains that make you sleep on a cardboard box with rocks in it. Had room service for breakfast food was good with ample portions. Wish I could have stayed longer. Will next time.
