Property is in a great location. Room and amenities were definitely subpar for the price paid. Staff tried to be accommodating but even after moving rooms the same issues arose. Non-working TV. AC that didn’t work properly. Not what I would have expected after paying 200.00 USD per night. I’ve had better rooms in Austin paying half as much.

We have stayed at this hotel many times in the past 8 years. We were always pleased. However this time , there was an unpleasant odor upon entering the front door. The carpets were worn and stained in the hallways. Renovations of rooms on our floor caused noise and hallway clutter. We did not have but two towels in the room upon arrival. We went to front desk to ask for hand towels. The coffee was out of cream and no sugar available. The desk employees were pleasant. We have season football tickets and have enjoyed the stay in the past but Not sure if we will book our upcoming stays at this location.

Hotel definitely needs some attention, also ask put in for 2 adults and a child. Room was a "suite" bedroom had a king bed and the living area had a less than adequate sofa bed. If the hotels weren't sold out due to a college tour we would have gone elsewhere.

I called 0ct 11 to confirm my reservation. They confirmed. I called Friday Oct 13th in the afternoon to tell them we were going to arrive about 11pm. They said that was fine. We called about 9:00pm to tell them we were going to be even later. They said that was fine. Arrived at 3am and they said the reservation had been canceled 3 days prior. Huh? I was super annoyed.
