Hotels with Parking in Austin

In the words of Bette Davis, “What a Dump.” In its favor, we had a nice view of Lady Bird Lake from our window, which was pretty to wake up to, and the water pressure in the shower was great! The bathroom seemed partially updated and was pretty decent. Free parking, too. There were a few HBO channels on tv. However, the hotel is very dated and not very clean looking. The indoor parking garage was filthy and was dimly lit. Didn’t feel very safe in there, so we parked in the outside lot whenever possible. No greeting from the night time desk clerk when we came back from dinner, as she seemed to purposely be avoiding eye contact with us (she wasn’t on the phone or busy with someone else). The elevators were very smudgy and too dark, also. The beds slumped a bit in the middle, the linens were old and tired looking, and the chair in the corner looked worse than some I’ve put by the curb. An old leak on the ceiling was poorly patched up, and there were stains on the desk chair, carpet and walls. The door to the adjoining room didn’t provide enough sound proofing, as I heard our neighbor’s phone convo loud and clear. The pool area didn’t look very inviting, as there were no umbrellas or trees to block the strong sun. We wanted to stay in downtown Austin to be within walking distance to things, so this was the least expensive option. But not much could be walked to from there, and the area it was in was a bit sketchy, so we ended up taking Ubers, anyway. We had booked our last night at a hotel in the Arboretum area, because this one went up to a ridiculously high amount for Friday night (music festival in town), and it ended up being just as convenient to take an Uber from there (15-20 mins) to downtown. Plus, the hotel was much nicer and way less expensive. Live and learn.

Our stay at the Hyatt Regency on our wedding night was phenomenal! We were hoping for maybe some champagne or something special since it was our wedding night, but it was still a great experience overall. We had an amazing view and great service throughout the night there. Would definitely stay again!

This hotel has all the basics: spacious rooms, comfortable beds, very decent continental breakfast, and everything works. However, it is in desperate need of a face lift - new carpets, upholstery, etc. There is a strong smell of ”old”. We went first to a Target to buy air freshener which we used liberally in both rooms all three days we were there. If you can deal with that, this hotel provides good value.

The hotel has a good environment and convenient transportation, but there is no breakfast

The check-in and out was smooth. Our stay is ok, the room is quite small but bed is comfy. The breakfast option was nice but the next day, we woke up a bit late, we joined buffet breakfast at 8:30AM but most of the food were gone and was not replaced. The location is good, near N. Lamar Ave and I-35 which is accesible to Downtown Austin.

We had a 1 night stay in Austin and decided to try the W. It was a great choice, room was nicely decorated and roomy. I appreciated the small details like apples and water in the lobby. My favorite space was the lounge area with the massive vinyl record collection and that fireplace!

From beginning to end it was not a great experience. The front desk lady who checked me in was not helpful or friendly unlike Elizabeth her coworker who was amazing with other guests as I saw her assist other guests. She didn’t provide any info. I had to ask. Did not recognized me or thanked me for gold member status. Did not provide parking info besides a QR code and told me to scan it at gate. We went to the room, dropped our things and left to our vehicle in the parking lot. I inserted the parking ticket… please pay $10!!!!!! What? $10 for 30 min !!! We went to grab dinner and we’re concerned of having to pay parking every time we went in and out. So we tried to do all we could before returning to the hotel. Since covid cases are going up we took our sandwiches and tried calling the hotel to ask about the parking situation but no answer until we were already out of area. Came back and there wasn’t really any places to sit down and eat a meal besides sofas and coffee tables. We were only staying one night. Checked in around 5, and a few hours later, literally i was already receiving a notification for checking out! The scant amount of staff we encountered on the floors were not friendly, we greeted them. Only one employee near the pool area actually was friendly and helpful. The bed was so uncomfortable, i was not able to sleep well until around 4 am. At approximately 840am I believe it was housekeeping knocking on my door and tried to open it. Woke me up. I couldn’t fall asleep anymore. I don’t understand why they would do that if check out was at 12. That has never happened to us on previous stays with another chain we usually stay. We almost never have any complaints from our stays. Went to eat breakfast at the restaurant there. That was not great either. We had a $15 credit per person for 2 towards breakfast. Juice $6, about 8oz. Plates, from $12-16. So, i ordered a plate with pancakes, eggs, potato and ham. The pancakes were like cardboard, they got stuck in the roof of my mouth. Juice wasn’t great, tasted like juice from carton. My son ordered an omelette with spinach and cheese, fruit cup and juice. Same issue with the carton juice, the omelette he says looked like someone dropped a bucket of spinach on it. The fruit wasn’t fresh. We are thankful for the manager that approached us and heard our issues with the food. He took care of that.

The service was very good and caring, knowing that the child had an exam the next morning, and a free breakfast was specially arranged. It was originally not included in the breakfast. Such carefulness is rare in foreign service.

Nice room and hotel. Staff was very helpful. Jessie was great. But I wish they had offered free breakfast. The breakfast was overpriced. We ended up eating out constantly. There were some great breakfast restaurants we tried tho. Pool was warm but smaller than the pictures show. Our family if 20 took over the whole space easily.
