Great location to walkable eateries and shopping within Downtown Austin but paying 60 bucks a night for parking and no complementary breakfast is a ludicrous.

Night crew was great. They even upgraded our room to a suite. It stated that breakfast ends at 11 but when I called morning customer service she said it ended at 930 and when requested a late check out she declined. Housekeeping was already at our room ready to clean at 11. Check out is at 12.

The room was very clean (slightly smelled like bleach when we walked in but wasn’t too strong. I appreciate that!) the staff was nice, personable and accommodating and this hotel was right next to our concert venue as well as 2 streets up from 6th street if you’re into that scene. Parking was limited so we parked in a parking garage across the street but it was only $20 for overnight parking and I consider that decent for downtown Austin parking. I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel was really clean and front staff was great. The cleaning ladies are a little aggressive but overall the hotel and parking was great. Close to 6th Street as well

Disliked: Staff & service
Front desk not responsive to requests. Had asked for extra blankets at check in. Assured they'd be sent right up. Get up to room and discover no bedding on sofa bed. Had nothing but a sheet; had no pillow, blanket or comforter. Called desk to let them know. Assured they'd take care of it. Took six requests and five and an half hours and getting upset and having to get it myself to get bedding. It's after 9 pm and no one was going to bring me any bedding. I had been up at 3:15 that morning and was tired and couldn't even go to bed as I had no bedding! Sofa bed so uncomfortable that we had to put the sofa cushions under the mattress. Mattress very thin. Housekeeping left trash on floor for two days, didn't honor request to not remake the sofa bed, didn't replace all towels. Drain in sink not working. Had to ask for new blow dryer as that didn't work. No fan in bathroom and peeling paint above tub. Breakfast okay but don't expect waffles. Pros; It is a good location to walk to bars on 6th street and Congress St bridge for bat watching. Parking $30 a day in parking garage that had ample space with unlimited in and out privileges. But If I were to return to Austin, I would not return to this hotel.
