Beds were comfortable and clean. Arrived after midnight and there was no one at the front desk so we tried to use our Bluetooth key, which didn’t work requiring us to go back down to the desk and get an actual key. Shower could’ve used a little maintenance but otherwise the room was good. The rooms in the back are very noisy from the highway, even on the top floor.

Be sure to plan extra travel time due to on going construction you may get stuck trying to leave the hotel for a good 15 minutes or more. Overall our room could have been cleaned a bit better from the prior guest. I would look into a different hotel location when booking a stay in Austin!

Friendly staff. Convenient l9ction to Moody Center. Only complaint was we were only there one night due to a concert, housekeeping walked in the room 2 times on our check out morning (9:45 &10:45). Check out wasnt until noon. I advised the front desk when checking out very apologetic and made a note on the file. Over all great experience.
