Old hotel. Service not accommodating. Bar closed at 10pm but bartender was cleaning up at 9:40 and would not serve us. Breakfast outrageously priced and not worth considering there is a Dennys right outside the hotel where you can get a better breakfast for half the price. Consider other options.

Everything about the hotel was fantastic and 5 star! The other areas around the hotel were a little "downtownish". Again the hotel was fantastic, the diner inside the hotel was excellent, and the room was spacious and comfortable. The Bathroom was clean and remarkable. It was a great stay! I will come back again. Thank you!

Pricing was high. Room was comfortable but you need signage for housekeeping! On the first day, a man walked in on me saying the room showed as unoccupied, and on subsequent days there were loud knocks all down the hall with people yelling HOUSEKEEPING. Also, the sink drain was very slow to drain. I think somebody might have vomited in the sink previously. The staff was really wonderful though

I did not like paying for parking $35 per night seemed excessive. Our room had a stale odor and noises A/C unit I am usually quite easy to please. The toilet was faulty it did not flush without re adjusting the flapper. The taps dripped The odor was the main problem. Other than that the hotel was satisfactory

The whole reason for staying at this hotel, was so we could walk to the concert across the street at the Moody center. I figured it would be cheaper to stay at a more expensive hotel than to stay at a cheaper one and then have to Uber there. It wasn’t until I went to check in that they proceeded to tell me that parking was $40, but that “it’s ok, we’re still cheaper than the other nearby places.” It was too late to change or do anything considering the concert would be starting soon and you also can’t cancel your reservation. When I asked the clerk on the morning shift if anything could be done about the parking, her and the other male worker both said again that “it’s kind of an Austin thing.” Definitely will not be staying in another Hilton hotel, especially this one.

We stayed over the weekend to attend a concert at the Moody Center. Biggest plus was the location to the venue. First night was fine, they accommodated our late check in (happy with the young man’s customer service). Room was okay, there is Mildew in the bathroom due to no ventilation. Second night was horrible. We were on the third floor facing the pool and there were adults sitting around the pool visiting. (Not swimming). They stayed out there until 4:30am, very loud, obnoxious, and continued to wake us up throughout the night. I walked down to the front desk to complain and grab a bottle of water at 2:30am. The young man behind the counter was extremely nice and apologetic, he told me he would address them. As mentioned above they stayed out there another two hours. The next morning, I asked Samual (front desk) what the policy was for the hours for the pool area because the guests had kept us up all night. He apologized,then said Verbatim, “ The open hours are till 10pm, but honestly, we can’t tell them to go to bed or really address this. They could be diamond members and tell us they paid to stay here or get mad. I am sorry, but there isn’t anything we could do.” Screw the other members and guests. It was extremely disappointing that excuses were made, without any concern that other guests were disrupted all night. Barely an apology. We will not be returning to this location. The overall experience does not justify the cost

I find it insulting when hotels hide fees until you check in. We had two vehicles and upon check in they told us it was $35 per night per vehicle. And after tacking on a service fee(!) and tax, it is $40 per night per vehicle. Do I have the option of parking anywhere else? No. Is it an attended lot? Nope. Is it secured? Nope. Is it valet? Nope. It's just a regular open parking lot where they can scrape off some money from you and lower the amount that shows up in the Expedia searches. It's ridiculous. Our room also smelled like urine. But I'm way more disappointed about hidden, large fees.

Pretty outdated for the price. Parking is extra. No descent amenities in the room and the ice machine closest to me was 3 floors away. Not a big deal until you realize their fridge is teeny tiny and you have to keep things in a cooler with ice.
