My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, despite needing a makeover, was lovely, pretty large for an older room, and had convenient sockets near the bed. However, the lack of room servicing during our two-night stay was disappointing. The service was generally very nice and helpful, but there was a sudden change in demeanor on Tuesday. The hotel's location was decent for attractions and offered easy access to nearby trails and nightlife, yet it was not ideal for late-night outings. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with delicious food but chaotic scenes in the dining area.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room, although connected to another one, suffered from noise due to its proximity to a busy highway. It was also small and inconvenient to use with limited privacy. On the bright side, the service was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient for accessing nearby attractions but had some cleanliness issues. The dining was underwhelming in terms of value for money and options.

The hotel is in a convenient location within walking distance of Austin convention centre and down to Rainey Street. The rooms were clean and comfy, with computer-assigned allocations. The service was top-notch with friendly staff. Dining was good but maybe a bit overpriced. The location is the standout feature, ideal for exploring the city day or night.

The hotel offers a great view over the river from the rooms, but they were small and not updated. The service was mostly friendly despite some confusion with vouchers. The location is fantastic for exploring Rainey Street bars and restaurants. The dining options were buffet style with lots to choose from but lacked quality and variety. The facilities overall were average.

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms were less than what I expected, but the relocation to the renovated south tower helped. The service was friendly and accessible, and the location was convenient, being close to the Convention center, though not perfect for late-night outings. The dining options were a bit messy, but the food was good. The facilities were decent overall.
