Ok, staff tried to make good on errors.

We stayed for Austin City Limits music festival for all 3 days. As soon as we checked in Friday night after the 1st day of music, the room smelled like cat urine. I called and complained to the staff. The manager on duty came up and he even said that his 1st thought was cat urine smell offered me the only other room available which was a suite for more than twice my original cost of the room. The only other alternative solution was to spray the room with a spray that to cover the smell. I really had no option, either do the air spray or go to the suite and pay more than twice my original price. Their excuse was the humidity from the AC caused the carpets to smell. It was a smoking room, however, I know the smell of smoke and I know the smell of urine and it really did smell like urine. They did try to make up for it by allowing 3 more guests to stay for just $5 extra per person per night. They said normally it is $10 per person per night. I basically took it because there were no other rooms in the area, [...]I really just needed a place to crash so as long as I breathed thru my mouth, I was ok. Also, it was on the 4th floor.

Not Bad...

Everything was as expected. Customer service was great. Wireless internet was spotty due to the room being way in the back. They should figure out a way to install an additional router so that the rooms in the back receive just as good coverage as those near the front of the hotel.

Good

Enjoyable. Just used it to sleep at, but staff was friendly, rooms were clean. The only bad thing was parking was limited in comparison to the number of rooms.
