Nice experience in Austin

The location and comfort of the hotel was outstanding. Delicious food in the restaurant. Just a little problem with Hotel reparations, but all of them were on ours that didn't affect their guests.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay. I was just there for a vacation of hanging out listening to the tons of great live music. Location is pretty excellent [cab fares rack up quick, and the pedicabs run only on the weekend]. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The stainless pool on the roof was nice, but kind of wish they did "more" with it. Room was tidy, the bed was very comfortable.

Nice Hotel

It was nice except that they did not honor the king size bed that was in the reservation. They said that it was not a resevation, only a request by the 3rd party (Orbitz). The room was on the street side (7th floor)and noisy late at night when people leaving the downtown bars and clubs. Other than that it was very nice. Great breakfast buffet. Pool was very crowded due to weddings.
