Beautiful views of downtown and the lake
Not only have guests enjoyed the scenic views of the Lady Bird Lake and downtown Austin from the comfort of their rooms, but guests have been very pleased with the view offered from the outdoor pool as well.

Location is phenomenal
Many guests have had a complaint or two regarding this hotel but have still rated it highly due its great location.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Less than perfect communication
Recently this hotel has undergone renovations and remodeling. Guests have complained that they were unaware of this before finalizing their booking and had they known, they would not have booked under these circumstnaces. Other complaints have been made that the pool was closed and no notice had been given to guests prior to their booking.
negative:
Restaurant staff can't handle the rush
This hotel offers the convenience of an on-site restaurant. However, guests have complained that the service level offered at this restaurant is not on par with the rest of the hotel service. Dirty plates were left on tables for long after guests had left and service to customers was just, in general, slow.
negative:
Cleaning staff should visit more often
The rooms at this hotel were spacious and reviewed as wonderful but the same was not said for the general cleanliness. Although there was no issue anywhere near despicable, guests complained that the cleaning staff often neglected guest's rooms and left beds unmade and floors uncleaned.
