Friendly staff, room was adequate, and a good view of downtown. but the wifi in the room only worked 1 of the 4 days we were there. And there were no glasses in the room, only paper cups that were tucked away in a cupboard. Within walking distance of Downtown and UT.

called the police, otherwise awesome
It was a lovely place, but there was a very loud fight in the room next to me and I had to call the police at about 3:30 in the morning. I went downstairs and requested a new room and was offered a complimentary breakfast. The staff was very kind and friendly and ordinarily I wouldn’t complain about something that was outside of anyone’s control but I was up most of the night and didn’t get to enjoy my stay really at all.

Girls trip
Hotel is excellent. The staff is super friendly. Our first room had something going on with the heat and AC. One quick phone call down to the front desk and they were able to switch our rooms right away. All the details and decor in the hotel Are so well-thought-out and creative. I really enjoyed my stay here and would love to come back again.

OK for one night. Pretty good location.
An old Sheraton hotel updated on a low budget. Nothing special but nothing terrible either.

Great stay at downright
I took my boyfriend here for 2 nights so we could celebrate his birthday in austin. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and aesthetic of the downright hotel. the front desk service was very helpful and friendly the whole time as well. parking at the hotel (and anywhere downtown austin) was expensive, but most of what we did was walking distance from the hotel so it didnt damper the experience. We loved our stay and would be excited to visit again sometime

Nice hotel but the staff need training
Booked two rooms for a family trip to Austin. Requested connecting rooms and was told they were. Got upstairs and they were not. Had to go back down to the service desk and wait in a long line to fix the rooms. Then the day of check out i needed a key replacement and the person working the front desk was very unprofessional when I needed a key replacement.

I Won't be Back
Pros: convenient to where I needed to be, newly renovated
Cons:
1. Cafe ran out of coffee and a fruit cup at 7:15 a.m.
2. Cafe service very slow and unfriendly.
3. "Restaurant" hard to find and very uninviting. Theme is dining in an empty swimming pool.
4. Service very slow for bar service and food,, though there were only 3 tables occupied
