You would expect a hotel like this to be able to handle the simple task of sending out a package that needed to go that day. I requested for the nearest fedex but they insisted they could take care of it for me. Sure enough when I checked the tracking two days later nothing was available. That is because they never sent out my package. And the manager confirmed it was still sitting there and no one picked it up. What a great way to ruin a relaxing weekend!

Historic hotel in the heart of downtown Austin. Beautiful architecture, friendly staff, soft beds & pillows, with a bar & cafe. The event areas are large, welcoming rooms with ample staff for your guests. Personally I think it is overpriced for the lack of amenities…such as toiletries, extra blankets, option of hard pillows, larger bathtub, no parking & no pool. Lastly be sure to take the haunted ghost tour!

The building is beautiful and the lobby and bar are spectacular. We had a king room that was well decorated, small but comfortable. Breakfast is counter service with seating in the lobby and on an outdoor patio. There’s a bakery on-site that has the best chocolate croissants I’ve ever had. If you’re in Austin for the music The Driscoll is the perfect location. Just a short walk to the best music venues in the city.

We stayed here for a wedding. I called a week beforehand to request a microwave in my room due to a restrictive medical diet I am on. After waiting forever on the phone to get a hold of someone, the concierge finally answered and told me to request the microwave when I am checking in in person. Fast forward a few days, when I checked in, they told me they “don’t do microwaves” and that there is not a SINGLE ONE in the entire hotel for me to use. I had brought a lot of my own food and would have appreciated if they let me know beforehand that I would not have a way to heat up or eat any of it! Instead their responses were conflicting. Also, when I called the front desk from my room to ask a question, I tried for over 15 min to reach someone but they NEVER PICKED UP THE PHONE. Absolutely ridiculous, abysmal customer service. Not to mention the shower also smelled like feet. And the walls were so thin that you could hear conversations from neighboring units or drunk people screaming in the hallways at 3am. We parked in a nearby parking garage otherwise valet would have charged a whopping $49/night. All in all, I can’t believe we paid $235 Inc. tax to stay here. I’ve had better experiences at Holiday Inn. And the $235 is even with a wedding party discount! Go elsewhere!

Staff is great. Inside building, restaurant, and bar are gorgeous. Using a your room key to use the elevators is great for added safety. BUT, the room deposits each night are a little on the heavy side. The valet price for each night is a bit ridiculous. When you can use the parking garage a stone throw away from the hotel (next door building) and use spot hero app and pay well below the price of just one valet night for the entire length of your stay. Safe inside closet did not work so we left the do not disturb sign on the door to protect our valuables. The mini fridge was a useless light box. Didn’t get cold enough for a few drinks. The style of the rooms are typical and show no resemblance to the gorgeous foyer. Queen room size was decent if you are not really in your hotel for your stay except to sleep. Overall the prices nightly are for the location. Make sure to use a discount hotel app to book your stay. You can walk almost everywhere.
Side note keep in mind the city has gone down hill because of the homeless. It stinks pretty much everywhere and the people/curse at you if you don’t stop to give them something free.

The start of my journey into the entrance of the Stephen F Austin was spectacular. Mostly, due to the staff, location, and amenities. Anthony runs a tight ship, making sure to touch all points of customer service.

When approaching the service counter, the ease to register, obtain crucial information regarding amenities, and advice on the best way to enjoy the area was pleasant 😀👍.

The rooms were welcoming 🙏, clean, and comfy. Lots of space, great service when needed, and hidden treasures of coffee service within the entertainment cabinet.

It was a joy to stay and a big shout out to Anthony for his wonderful service ❤!

I can’t express this enough, Anthony leads his crew by example. Keep up the great work team Stephen in Austin, Tx!

Nice location in downtown Austin. The hotel was clean and well kept. A couple of issues though. When we booked the room there was no mention that construction was going on right behind the hotel and within 50yards of our room. the work started around 8:00 in the morning and often went until 9:00 at night! That should have been noted either during the booking or when we checked in. AC in the room was not adequate for the space and it got warm in the evenings. The front desk staff was polite but unhelpful with simple questions. The Valet staff was the best often welcoming me by name.

It was a nice hotel, breakfast was really good, great pancakes! I’m not sure if it’s worth the money paid to stay there. MAJOR UPDATE: 2021

Update on the hotel. Such a fantastic place to stay. We were there Jan 2021 celebrating my birthday, back in Feb, and heading back this coming Sat. We had an amazing stay, the room was fantastic along with the view. Seems like there were many upgrades, staff is amazing, very accommodating and easy to work with. Absolutely recommend it for celebrations, stay-cays, and networking events.

Ritz Carlton price for a Days Inn experience. Food was somewhat bad to be honest. Room was small. People weren’t particularly friendly. Two stars because I liked the location and the room had a nice view. Zero chance we’ll stay here in the future.

There aren’t enough amazing things to say about this hotel. I was very weary of booking a place so large and in the middle of downtown Austin but they made everything flow so easily! Parking for the day was very reasonable since we came and went constantly, the rooms were cozy, the beds were like sleeping on a cloud, water pressure was something from Heaven and the staff was so incredibly nice and professional. And the hotel itself was gorgeous! Very impressive convention center as well! And can’t complain about the rooftop pool! Stayed for 3 days and don’t have a single complaint. 10/10 recommend! I will be back!

Excellent service. Bruce and Owen are the best. By far the best service we experienced on our week trip. Owen gave great recommendations to the dining options and nailed it. Actually showed us where the restaurants were located; he called places (bike rental & restaurants) to find out availability and happy hours. Checked on us and remembered us with a cheerful smile every time over the three fantastic days we were there. OWEN is the GOAT!

Very comfortable hotel. Situated conveniently to the convention center, grocery (5 min walk), and bars/nightlife. Room was clean and comfortable and they were helpful when requests made. Only down a star because I felt it was a little bold on pricing unless you has a group of event rate.

They provided absolutely amazing service and made my stay an absolute delight! I was there for a company launch event and for being my first time in Austin, thought this would be a great experience. I was picked up and when I arrived I asked if it was possible to change the view of the room. I mentioned that if it was inconvenient then it was okay I’ll just stick with the original reservation. I just wanted to do a little something nice for me after dealing with worsening health for months. They were nice enough to make that room change possible so I could have a view that brings me peace. Everyone was so nice and made sure I was always cared for. I needed a late checkout because I got in from the event late and was sleep deprived, I just needed sleep. It was a relief when they let me have a late checkout and after still made sure I was okay. Thank you for such a pleasurable stay!

My wife and I enjoyed a 5 day stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin . Our experience was highly favorable . Of course it’s a lovely property on the Colorado river , but it had other features which were most impressive . First , the hotel was very clean and well cared for , with some of the very best housekeeping that we’ve ever experienced anywhere . Our room was kept impeccably clean , with crisp , white ironed linens every day . A beautiful bed for sure !

The staff was also very friendly and went out of their way to assure our comfort and enjoyment . Great wait staff and foods at the on site restaurant. Gorgeous , wooded grounds along the river with a convenient walking trail .

While the hotel was as good as we could have expected , it was the staff ( especially housekeeping ) that stood out as exceptional .
Lastly , the hotel’s location is perfect , with all the prime restaurants and music venues a short walk/drive away . Having stayed at blue chip hotels around the world , we found that this location was impressively managed and operated . Credits to an excellent staff and management !!

This place is disgusting. I’m appalled to even write this review simply because didn’t want to recall the moment that we stayed here for two nights or be associated with this place. Two stars for the staff and the bed but for the room, it’s zero stars. I understand, for the money that we pay for there’s some things I can tolerate. However, whether you’re paying thousands of dollars or $200/night, I expect cleanliness and this place is far from that. The room definitely needs updating and make over. Here’s the summary:
– The walls are too thin. I can hear every syllables that the next door neighbor is saying. So if you’re expecting a quiet night, forget it.
– The carpet is disgusting. It has dog fur, crumbs, mildew, and areas where there’s no padding underneath. Cleaning it is not going to cut it. It needs to be replaced and redone appropriately.
– Shelf in the closet is “hanging by a tread.” It’s not anchored to a stud.
– Dirty AC unit is held by a 2×4 cut out with internal wires exposed.
– The bed is ok. Comfy enough for a 1-2 night stay.
– Bathroom needs a makeover. Holes and the wall and has a patchy job on the fixes. Cleaning it is not going to cut it, plumbing fixes need to be addressed. Shower head is not secured behind the wall and moves with a slight adjustment.
– Entry hallways are dirty, carpet is simply disgusting. Safety hazard with slippery walkway by the stairs has oil and dirt stains.

We had a crazy experience here, the front desk agent was the most helpful however, the valet person quit on site after valeting our car and the hotel didn’t offer us free parking they said we had to valet for $65 which is crazy. The actual room was somewhat nice but the hotel itself is extremely old and our keys kept deactivating ( we did not have them near our phones). The walls are paper thin but it was quiet at night. The elevator hasn’t been inspected since February. I have picture below for proof.

The front desk service was very friendly and helpful. Aside from that, you are paying for the location with this place. It’s pretty grungy and bare bones, but you are walking distance to downtown. If you’re not planning on spending much time in the room and want to be close to downtown, I would recommend this place. You won’t find many other affordable places nearby.

Started off each day with breakfast…Dana and Maria made that special. Very kind and considerate, Dana greeted me each morning with a smile and made sure my breakfast was Perfect. These two ladies make you feel at home. Congratulations Hilton, you have two exceptional employees that know how to take care of your clients. Moreover, the room and facilities were clean with everyone being professional and polite. I would recommend this facility because of the staff.
Thank you!

The staff was so friendly, the maids and chefs in particular. The pool was too cold and dirty to use, room service wasn’t available, and breakfast didn’t come with the room so we overall spent $220 to sleep in a bed and have a meal for one day. Valet is also unreasonably expensive unless you’re charging it to the company credit card, thankfully there are plenty cheaper parking lots to use nearby and sixth street is within walking distance. The room and staff were great, although the added amenities were basically none.

I’m giving the hotel 5 stars primarily based on its staff. Jay at the front desk was fabulous!!! Super sweet, helpful and courteous. Stephen from maintenance, the guys from valet, the ladies and gentlemen that work in the restaurant and the security guys all deserve praise as well. The hotel was clean and decorated with modern touches. Breakfast is not free. Pet friendly. The area was a bit on the rough side but not terrible. Overall we enjoyed our stay! Thank you to everyone that made our stay memorable!

It was just a lovely weekend. The room was very nice, very bright, very clean. I was pleasantly surprised. It was not inexpensive, but Hyatt’s have not been great in the past, this exceeded my expectation. Also, it is right on the river/walking trail so very easy to access. Easy walk to Downtown.

After having a not-so-great time in Austin at a previous hotel (the hotel across from this one) a family member and I decided that this year we would book through Hyatt as this property looked a bit nicer and more up to date. This hotel is a pretty great hotel for those wanting to be near to the action and the impressive atrium definitely is not an everyday sight. Check-in went well here, the member of staff was very professional and friendly, she also informed us of what was open and closed. At first, she thought we would have to wait for a room, but after looking around she found a room we could get on a higher floor without waiting. This hotel has also made the elevators need a room key, which gave a safe feeling to my family member and me knowing someone wasn’t going to just be running around if they weren’t a guest. This hotel seems to have invested in a digital system for the do not disturb and request cleaning signs, as well as other modern furnishings. There were some very minor issues with the room, the shower had some mildew growth, the office chair was also showing its age. The safe also was not working, a quick call to the front desk fixed this though, and engineering came quickly and ended up replacing the whole door, though we were both glad they were able to get it working the same day. Despite this hotel having an atrium too, the rooms are very well soundproofed, and you can’t hear anything from the beds. We ate on site for breakfast, and the food was really good, the service was also great, and Caleb provided excellent service. The location of the hotel is unbeatable too, it is right on the river, and in a very prime area of downtown. The elevators are nice and fast too, which is appreciated. Other than the few very minor things in the room, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay on this property, and recommend it for sure.

The staff was amazing! Like, the best I’ve ever been too. They were able to help me accommodate an early check in, when I was having trouble opening the patio door they sent someone to help me ASAP, and the most wonderful cleaning service gentleman chased me down to the parking garage after we accidentally left a pair of shoes in the room. HOW AMAZING!

The views over the river were incredible, too. An absolutely pleasure of a stay. I will be recommending this place to anyone who needs a top notch hotel in downtown Austin.

I would skip this hotel. Pay the extra money and stay in a better hotel. From being given a room that someone else was already staying in(thankfully they were dressed when we walked in)to giving us a handicap room. Bathroom had one bath towel. Coffee was frequently out in the lobby. Starbucks was there but not open for some reason.

This hotel was great. It was in a great location, walk-able to downtown restaurants and bars and the Congress bridge where the bats come out. Everyone at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The hotel breakfast was good and offered a lot including an omelette station. Rooms were a great size and comfortable bed; just needs a little updating but nothing serious. Would definitely recommend.

Robe/towel hook on bathroom door is about to fall off the door. The trim around the bathroom door knob was loose. I would stay there again, but hope updating is in the near future.

Overall good stay. Good location for activities downtown, Town Lake. Wish the bathroom had towel racks, cups for water. TVs were fairly small and not terribly user friendly with easy guide, etc. We weren’t in the room long every day as we were in Austin for a family wedding, so it was all fine. Nice breakfast and happy hour. Loved how speedy the elevators were also.

From the moment Tex checked us in, to Matt in the bar serving our drinks, we understood that we were in the right Hotel for our weekend getaway.

We stayed three nights for the Texas, Oklahoma st game.

The hotel is very nice, clean, and has great amenities. A very nice bar/lounge area with great drink selection and some good light food fare. Again Matt the bartender was quick with a drink and an amazing personality to have behind the bar. He represented the double tree brand excellently with his customer service.

Tex, the front desk clerk was such a nice experience as well. A rather happy chap that got us checked in to our rooms swiftly and with such a pleasant demeanor.

Highly recommend staying here if you are needing a room in downtown Austin.

Great hotel in a central location almost next door to the Capital. The staff make this hotel extra special. Literally, everyone is nice and professional and willing to help. The rooms are nicely appointed and the restaurant, at least for breakfast, was very good. There is no parking at this hotel so if you have a car, you either have to park it off site or use their valet service. We used the valet and each night our car was safely parked in a secured area. We plan to visit Austin again and when we do, we will revisit the Double Tree Suites on W 15th.

COCKROACH INFESTATION. Discovered 10 cockroaches crawling around the room. 2 crawled out of my dental retainer case. Front desk clerk unhelpful. Wyndham not available during the evening. Called them next day. They said they would “file a concern.” Supervisor refused to help. Asked the short grey headed man with an accent at the front desk if I could check out 30 minutes late. He threatened to fine me $50. Will file a complaint with the better business bureau.

We had booked a suite for five people for a Friday through Monday this weekend. One of us came up with bites all over and found a bed bug in the bed. We were informed that they have no other rooms they can move us to and they couldn’t guarantee a refund.

Update: An inspector went in and a worker called and confirmed that they found bed bugs. We were informed that the manager couldn’t talk to us after we called because he was off this weekend. We finally received an email that confirmed we would be getting a refund.

Very nice comfortable hotel for one night stay. I thought the mattresses were great but daughter thought they were a little hard. Rooms were very clean, including the bathtub and sinks. Nice little balcony outside of our room. Temperature in the room stayed cool enough overnight but the unit never shut off so was a little loud. Made it difficult to get to sleep but was fine once I did. Hot breakfast was as expected, the coffee was warm rather than hot at 8:30 a.m. front desk staff was awesome! Digital keys for rooms, garage, ice machine, always worked, no NFC needed.

I stayed in this hotel for the long Labor Day holiday and I was really pleased. Got a large suite with a balcony (Room 701 is highly recommended if you can get it). It was so large it almost felt like a studio apartment! Close to all the shops, restaurants, and everything Austin has to offer. The staff were amazing, accomadating any request I asked for right away. Free breakfast was more than I expected. I will definitely stay here again!

Hotel staff is excessively rude at the front desk. Just wow! Thought being in the heart of Texas, I’d get some real Texan hospitality. No! Super super rude even to the point of say IF my credit card went through, I could get a room. Wow! Judgment much??!! I realize I’d been on the road all day, fat, and temporarily disabled but I did look human and I did have luggage. Also you get room cleaned only if you book it??? Sketchy!!!! Already regretting coming to the conference which is sad since it’s the hotel and not the conference’s fault.

Such a mixed bag here. AMAZING employees! Comfy bed. Love the keurig in the room. The major drawback for me was the way the building was constructed. Obviously meant to be an office building and therefore the walls are PAPER THIN. Could here my neighbors on both sides. Not just muffled, like they’re entire conversation like they were in my room with me. Same goes with noise coming from the hallway and the street. I was 5 floors up. I would personally request much higher and no neighboring rooms if possible. There was a chair in the room covered in crumbs when I got there. Obviously not too big of a deal, just makes me wonder what else wasn’t cleaned too well.

Never stayed here but briefly visited a friend that was recently. Nice rooms and I find the architecture pretty cool. It has an huge lobby area that makes up half the building that is enclosed by a glass scaffolding type of exterior. IMHO it kinda seems like a waste of space from an urban design standpoint but it is impressive when your inside and one of those cool glass elevators.

John the overnight receptionist was amazing. The rooms were clean and well decorated. Amazing water pressure in the showers. Only complaint is that when we called ahead of time we were told self parking was $38 while valet was $50. At checkout we were informed that this was no longer the case. Self park was $48 and valet was $50. Other than that, great hotel in a great location.

The hype is real with this place. Get. The. Brisket. Our group got the ribs, pulled pork, brisket, coleslaw, and the beans. The brisket is by far the best I’ve ever had and will be the measure for all future barbecue. The ribs were alright but needed some sauce to round out the flavor. The sides were alright, with the beans being the highlight. I highly suggest getting a dang good pie, wow that’s good!

Make a point to come here and get some of the brisket if you like barbecue. You won’t be disappointed!

Brisket was moist, tender, flavorful, ribs were as well with a back end heat that we really really really liked. Sausage had great taste n texture. Pinto beans were cooked perfectly and again, nice back end heat, potato salad had a nice consistency but was a little bland to me, I added some mustard, salt n pickle and it was better to my taste. Staff were super friendly at pick up and really seemed to enjoy sharing their bbq with folks. Loved the curbside pick up option as I never have time for 3 hours lines when I’m in Austin for work! Hubs and I were so happy to finally try it!!

I’ve been waiting to go to Franklin’s for years and was extremely happy that I finally got to go there for my birthday. The dining room was closed so we had to do a curbside pickup, which was extremely simple and quick. We didn’t get to experience the dinning room, but at least we saved the line 🥲

The Brisket was one of the best I ever had 😋, super tender and flavourful, and I’ve been visiting BBQ places all around the US. The ribs were good, but a bit too salty in my taste. The Sausages were really good too. We also had the potato salad and the slaw, which were really good as well. Really recommended!

If you’re not from Austin and don’t have a close place to eat, there’s a park just minutes from the shop and you can ask for extra paper and cutlery so you can use the park’s table, it was hot but fun.
