Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel looks so nice when arriving. However it goes downhill quickly. The room was dirty, like smears on the light switches and hair in the shower. You have to request housekeeping daily and specify clean towels, coffee replacement, etc. If you just request clean towels this does not include facecloths and a bath mat. The area is unsafe. I was traveling alone with my teenager and it felt unsafe around the hotel. Every time we were waiting for an Uber outside the hotel we were approached by homeless asking for money or food and not once did the hotel staff step in to help. Bring ear plugs as you hear everything. Very limited food in the hotel and around the hotel. I wish I had trusted some of the other reviews. This was not a cheap hotel and I spent the whole time regretting my choice.

Went for the start of race week. Nearly all the staff and other amenities were wonderful, but one or two arrogant and probably racist employees (including the *hotel manager***) spoiled it. I had planned to maybe stay the weekend after moving over from the Driskill (which was wonderful), but they first charged me late fee of $125 for checking out after 2pm, which was fine. When I stayed in the room (I was busy) until 3:45p they called and said if I wasn’t out by 4p I would be charged a full day. I said how much and the manager said well this the busiest night of race weekend (it wasn’t that was Saturday) so it would be $1000 for same room probably the smallest in the place, for which I paid $770 the previous night (Thursday). So I think about it I’m willing to pay but the manager says you know what (it’s now about 5:30p) why don’t you just leave. I said I was waiting for my girlfriend to come pick me up, she was coming from Houston. He says why don’t you call an Uber I say yes I could but I’m not in a hurry I’d to stay another hour or so I still have drink coupons I never used. He says I want you out or I will call the police !! I say go ahead !!! The is my first time to Austin and I tell him I think this town is like Disneyland for idiots !!!!

I liked the old historical atmosphere mixed with elegant dining options. Although there are a lot of people walking in the city streets making it full of life and activity, there is a large amount of people who are homeless in the area.
