We chose this property due to the price and its proximity to the Moody Amphitheater for a concert. Room was clean and spacious. Staff was professional and very helpful.
Staff member Gabi was very friendly and professional. She was quick with the Double Tree cookies and info about Austin. One issue was the elevator, might need some maintenance.
This is our second time staying here. Great amenities and location. Safe parking (about $40/night).

Every thing was clean, our toilet was cracked and leaking, we were moved rooms but it was smaller and the toilet in there was also cracked just not yet leaking. Overall a good stay, staff were friendly and accommodating when we needed to move rooms.
Clean, nice, wonderful staff, and free cookies at check-in! This hotel is walking distance to the Moody Center. We went to a concert at the Moody and walked back. We felt safe, walked with a small crowd. About a 10 minute walk or so. Just stay here! It's great.
Hotel and room were clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly. My only complaint was that for the price of dinner and breakfast the food could have been a lot better.
The stay was fine. The room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The cleaning product smell was fairly strong. There is no bathroom near the pool which was a huge inconvenience. The breakfast buffet was nice but overpriced. We walked across the parking lot to Denny's and had a delicious breakfast for much less the price. We had wished the bar was open for longer hours. The noise from the freeway was pretty loud.
Location was close to venue and reviews were accurate. This is a well maintained facility, staff were great. If you stay best check-in early, parking is limited. One of the quietest places I've stayed. Would definitely stay there again.

They charge for everything and its a pretty hefty price. 2 small cups of wine cost me 32 dollars. The price for me to park my car was 42 dollars for the night. Good location. The best thing was having an awesome retro like Denneys only feet from the parking lot.
