The location was good for our needs on this trip. The rate was good compared to surrounding hotels. We parked our car at a friends and biked to the hotel to save over $200. Several complaints, when we checked in early on a Thursday afternoon, there were no luggage carts and no rooms with an exterior window. We had a window facing the interior lobby even though we requested a window facing the Capitol. On Saturday night the 4 or 5 elevators weren't working so when we checked out we had to carry all our bags down 14 flights!

BEWARE NO PARKING. Be prepared to show up at 9 pm and be told there is no parking left and you have to park in a public parking garage. For a day and a half that cost us $70. Also watch your debit/credit cards. Ours was charged double the original booking fee and then I had to cancel that debit card, in order to make sure the charge wouldn’t go through becaus the front said “they couldn’t do anything about it”. Very inconvenient to be out of town without a debit card. Rooms were not the cleaned and our toilet ran constantly which made it hard to sleep. Definitely do not recommend.

-$75 for Valet Parking unless you want to park in a very unsafe area. -$22 per adult for a continental breakfast, which is the exact same free breakfast at any other Hilton Garden Inn. -Paint peeling in the Bathrooms -Loud music playing until 2am -Pool was disgustingly dirty and did not look any like the pictures -Only 2 elevators were working for 18 floors which made wait times very long There are many places around to stay, try somewhere else.

Nowhere in the description does it list that you can not park a dually truck in the parking lot. When I checked in, I was told I couldn't park at the hotel and I should park at an uncovered, public lot down the street. After the first night of my stay, I put all of my clothing in the closet except for my jacket. When cleaning my room, my jacket was removed and taken to lost and found as if my room was being cleaned for another person. This was just a terrible experience. There are plenty of expensive hotels in downtown Austin, choose another one!!!!
