Nice Job with Remodel
Guests like the 2015 hotel renovations. Rooms are clean, modern and fresh. They're decorated in soothing colors and offer all the necessities travelers look for. The lobby got a make-over as well, and guests say it's a welcoming, comfortable area.

Smiling Staff and Friendly Service
Guests say the staff here are very professional and well-trained. Check-in goes quickly and all employees are extremely helpful with directions and suggestions.

Fun Freebies
The hotel offers free coffee in the lobby, and though it's a small thing, guests appreciate it. Better yet, they also have cookies and popcorn at random times during the day. Guests like the free Nacho bar on Monday nights during football season.

Not All Areas Were Remodeled
The hotel underwent renovations in 2015 and some places look brand-spanking new and shiny but guests say it appears the entire property wasn't redone and there are still areas that could use improvement. In particular, levators and hallways look a bit worn.
negative:
Things Don't Always Run Smoothly
Guests say that the hotel is in decent shape and the staff is friendly but there always seems to be something broken or there's a glitch with a reservation. Issues are handled promptly and efficiently but guests say the operation could run smoother.
negative:
Tough for Walking
Austin is a walking city, but this hotel is located outside of town, about a 10-minute drive away. Guests say the location off a highway makes it difficult to walk in the area and a car is helpful if staying here.
