Absolute nightmare. I tried calling the hotel multiple times and was put on hold for over twenty minutes twice. The third time I called, I said please don’t put me on hold again and I was told “ I’m the only one here and I’m checking people in.” I hung up after being put on hold a third time. The person who answered was very stressed out. I empathize as she was clearly overextended, but I received l zero customer service. I contacted the hotel via chat and never heard back. I will never book at this hotel again and do not recommend this hotel.

Staff was very rude to me asking for 15 minutes for a late checkout just to gather our belongings. Let it be noted I was in line waiting for about 15 minutes behind the front desk employee small talking other customers which I have no problem with but then allowed someone else to cut in front of me so that they could check out and continued to have a conversation with them disregarding me and my time for a simple question and then go be answered rudely. I understand there’s rules and I don’t mind that but, how do you talk to everyone else that has questions in front of me with smiles, jokes, laughter and your demeanor completely changed because of me? Was it my skin tone? Was it my tattoos? I’m paying a room like everyone else here and I do well off for myself as well just to be mistreated this way. Oh well I guess it’s an Austin thing.
