Decent hotel

Bar and restaurant were not open Saturday night (part of the reason we booked this place). Convenience to Austin’s landmarks was great. Hotel is very outdated, but not yet entirely decrepit. Service was great, though valet did take a little longer than expected and is not optional (~$70/night)—unless you’d like to park your car far away in an unsafe lot.

Hotel staff was exceptional. The advertised pool is practically nonexistent, and the store on the first floor charges about $7 for a single ice cream bar but they don't list prices, the chain just hopes you'll put it on the room and not ask. Valet was mixed, many were great but one guy wasn't so friendly, and he didn't update my request to shorten the number of days that I was parked when I asked him to - I just saw I was charged an extra day and didn't have time to dispute it because I had to catch my flight. Pillows were awful and the bed was too soft. I left with back pain. There are many restaurants close by but vegetarian options were lackluster. They don't reimburse you for cancelations, at least when you buy through expedia, so I highly suggest picking a different hotel that has more character and isn't afraid to let you cancel or switch to a different hotel.
