This hotel was perfect for our formula 1 race weekend. The rooms are clean and spacious. The bathroom looked like it was just updated. Nice amenities in the room, like Dove shampoo and body wash. There was a Keurig in the room. Breakfast was superb with a lot of choice and really good food! They had an automatic pancake maker which was really cool! The staff were all very nice and helpful, especially Brennan at the front desk. I would definitely stay there again. Only downside for us was limited dining options in walking distance, but other than that, a very nice hotel with a great staff!

Checked in by a lovely staff member who took the time to explain everything we needed to know, very efficient and approachable. Complex is lovely, love the pool, love how the breakfast area looks out to the pool. Room was lovely and spacious, large bathroom and shower and lots of natural light and was clean. Love that breakfast is included and options were good. Excellent location, walkable to everywhere and bus stop just across the road. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, wished we'd stayed here other times we'd been to Austin, will be back.

Gotta be honest the stay was one of the worst I’ve had at an hotel in a long time, especially for what we paid for each night. We had cold showers each morning, was told by the front desk to let it run for 10 to 15 minutes before getting in. the joining room next to us was extremely noisy throughout the night, we could hear everything through the door connecting the rooms as we tried to sleep. There is a night club right next to the hotel and on the second floor we could hear in our room until they closed. Last not sure what kicked on in our room after the ac but it sounded like an old copy machine, if I did happen to doze off it would wake me up each time throughout the night. Sorry I don't usually complain but for what we paid for each night (price was inflated to almost $500 a night due to f1 and Texas football game) and the fact that we are here for the f1 race we've had some long days and early mornings, so sleep for me and my family was pretty important at the time. We were pretty exhausted by the time the weekend was over. I will never return to this hotel but if you choose it, I’d recommend a high room to hopefully eliminate the outdoor noise and request a room without an adjoining door.
