Hotel is fine. Exits to stairwells are not well marked. Outside (not the hotel's fault) is awful; zombies everywhere. Would be nice if the city would clean up the outside-of-their-mind folks so mothers and young children don't have to worry about being pished in front of a bus. Downtown Austin is in the hurt locker.

Great and affordable hotel
Overall, a very pleasant stay. The staff was wonderful and responsive, friendly, and nice! Everyone was very clean and large and well lit. There were many areas for sitting and sleeping. The bathroom was perfectly clean and large. The free amenities at the hotel like the breakfast were awesome.

Liked: Staff & service
The pool was beautiful but dirty. Clumps of hair floated at the bottom. We stayed four nights and only got housekeeping once and had to request it after we were missed for three days. Staff were lovely and friendly. Yes it is noisy with the bar across the street playing loud music until after midnight. Parking is expensive and is an additional fee to your stay.

Great Stay
I was impressed at how clean and neat the lobby and room was. I even enjoyed the use of Dove soaps in the room which I have never used and really liked. The pool was beautiful and the breakfast was great. Didn’t like the paid parking garage, too far down, but overall would definitely recommend for any getaway.
