Verified traveler

Cost of living extremely expensive and don't do enough for minorities and Austin is to greedy to feed the needy. Not really impressed when your city sucks the life out of you and wants you to accept it and be happy.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

I was thrown off the property for a reason that was not legit.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Outside of Austin city limits is beautiful, but downtown Austin was terrible, dirty and I wouldn't stay downtown.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

We went when things were still pretty much shut down so there wasn't much to do. This was the day the protests and rioting/looting started as well. Luckily, we left 6th St minutes before a car was set on fire

3/5 - Okay

I love Austin overall but this hotel is in Cedar Park area.
