The room was fine, clean. Breakfast was okay. I didn't know until the day before our stay that we would have to pay 40 dollars a day for parking and when I got there they said that the parking was 50. Showed them the email that I got that says 40. The lady at the front desk was nice and charged me 40 instead. I think if your already paying for a room you shouldn't have to pay that much or at all to park in their parking garage, but other than that it was fine.

Room was great, the breakfast was awesome and it was great being able to walk in spots downtown and not take the car. The only downside was the parking garage gate which would not open twice at our attempted departure. Maintenance was kind in trying to fix the problem but it sends it is a recurring problem. Let to some very frustrating moments in what was an otherwise great stay. It probably will make us not want to stay there again though.

The hotel was okay but not up to the standards of Holiday Inn Express. The room was clean and staff was pleasant. The toilet ran all the time, was leaking onto the floor and the shower head was about to fall off. The parking garage was horrible. Expedia and the hotel states $35/night which is overpriced to begin with but when parking the car and scanning the QR code as instructed I was going to be charged over $49. The hotel adjusted the price for parking but it was still an inconvenience. The parking garage is under the building so you enter by driving up to a closed overhead door with a tiny parking sign (had to circle the block twice then call the lobby to find it). The garage itself is so tight and compact,, thankfully no other vehicles were going the other direction or wlsomeone would have had to back up. Ended up having to park on floor -4 or below wince the higher ones are for valet. The elevator from the parking garage to the lobby is very slow. Parking in downtown Austin iis bad enough but I would never return or recommend staying at this hotel if you plan to park on site. Find somewhere else to park if staying here, you have been warned!
