All the staff were very polite and positive. There was a young maintenance guy walking the hall very cheerful and polite didn't catch his name, and a lady Chante at the front desk, You could tell she loved her job and was such a joy during check in. You don't find that so much with younger people these days. Over all the rooms and the hotel were very well maintained and clean and that will be my hotel of choice on my next work trip to Austin.

I stayed here for a race. It's at the end of the "bat bridge." The staff was really helpful. The breakfast was amazing. The hotel is on the older side and it shows a bit. It was a nice location and worth what I paid for it. However, I did feel like there was a bait and switch moment. They asked if I was parking at the hotel without telling me that the parking was going to cost a ton of money. I was able to find cheaper parking on an app, but with my car only in the hotel parking lot for an hour, I still paid for 24hours. Be warned that the parking is very expensive if you use their garage. They should disclose this when you check in and they ask you if you are parking with them.
