Good

Room was in good condition and clean.
Parking situation (valet only, expensive) was not good. Multiple elevators broken for the entire stay. Location very loud during nights late.
The hotel is very nice and is located within a walkable distance of the main attractions in downtown. The hotel parking is so expensive that I could not use it. Sadly, we couldn't have our breakfast as promised because the chef was off. In general, the staff was very welcoming and nice.
Rachel warmly welcomed us and made sure we were taken care of. She really stands out as a star with customer service.

The one elevator situation and the $60 paid parking per night is the reason I’m rating this neutral. $30-$40 would seem more reasonable.
Walls were also a little thin in the bathroom.
I slept in on breakfast days so I can’t comment.
Otherwise, it is centrally located to both East and West Downtowntown Austin. I was able to walk to venues. It was clean. Reservations, check in and check out went smooth.
The staff was great - but the parking costs were a disappointment-

I stayed in a confortable and clean 1 King room. The staff at this location was kind and welcoming. There was a great snack selection in the lobby for getting a late night bite and putting it on your room. The fitness area was pretty good (free weights, treadmills, flat benches, balance balls, etc). The lobby and mezzanine level were both great for relaxing outside the room. The location is also a reasonable walking distance to downtown Austin locations and food spots as well as Target and Whole Foods.
The hotel is located in a great area for my work. The location is close to the freeway, which makes it easy to access my sales territory. When I return, this location will be my choice.
We were required to use the hotel’s valet parking which was $60 per night, totaling up to more than our entire reservation. We were not made aware of this caveat before hand. The hotel staff were nice, but there was solely one elevator working during our stay. Making our wait times for the elevator exceptionally long. Finally the hotel’s breakfast was not open for several days, with no prior warning. Our rooms were clean and well kept, it was just the general management and infrastructure of the hotel that irritated us.
