we arrived at 11 pm, Imposible to park on the street to check in. Hotel Garage was very narrow, some vehicles were parked in 2 spaces. The room was nice , diferrent from the one I had reserved. I had reserved 2 queen side beds, the room was one king side bed and a sofa bed. we asked for extra pillows and blanquet for the sofa and they didnt' have. There are a couple of bars around the Hotel, it was very laud one of the nights even though the hotel provides with a noise machine and ear plugs. Positive side the hotel is very clean, and with the exception of a couple of front desk representatives the rest of the staff was very polite.

Nice hotel but loud at night

The hotel was well situated downtown for the Austin marathon, it was very clean and the front desk concierge was very friendly. Our only complaint was it’s right next to an outdoor bar and so you hear the loud music all the way until 2:00 AM. The hotel anticipates this and provides you with ear plugs and noise machine in the room, but it was less than ideal especially since we were waking up early the next morning to run a race.
