Despite the reviews we stayed here to be close to the Moody center …. Room was perfectly clean and very nice…. Check in was fast and efficient ( one small complaint..despite calling the day of they couldn’t guarantee early check in at 2p and said to just show up …luckily it worked out )…. I don’t understand why you have to pay for parking when your parking yourself …it’s not a public lot … idk …. We didn’t walk to the Moody center since it was cold and raining …..Uber was 30.00 each way …. Overall great location and nice hotel ….Dennys in the parking lot was excellent for breakfast…..hotel bar was still open after the concert which was awesome as everyone gathered there to talk about the concert ….. Would definitely stay here again

I usually don't write reviews, but felt I should let other travelers know that this hotel is a great place to stay, despite past negative reviews. I booked this hotel in April but didn't read the reviews till end of September. I wasn't expecting much after reading such bad reviews. The front staff was awesome! Positive attitudes, especially Latoya, Josue, & Juan. Samantha, & Gabriella were helpful and pleasant during checkout. The bartender Teehsa was very sweet, and patient with big crowds. Housekeepers were friendly. Our room was clean. The location is easy to get to and from tourist attractions. Denny's is conveniently next-door for very late eating. FYI the hotel is cashless, but so are so many other places in Austin.

The hotel was very average. The lobby was nice and there was a lobby bar for drinks, but the hotel is dated. The rooms were dark and felt depressing. The beds were comfortable, but the bathroom shower curtain was gross. The carpets definitely needed replacing. The room did have a refrigerator and an in room safe. Our room was quiet which was likely due to the fact we were facing the cemetery. It was definitely the oddest view I've ever had! It was close to the UT stadium which was convenient. I chose this property because everything else was sold out. I would stay again, but only if we could not find anything else. If they remodeled the property could be terrific. I do like that their standard check out time is midnight. Also this was the first time I ever stayed at a Doubletree that I was not offered a cookie at check in! Next time, I would opt for the non cemetery view!

Checked in - room preference profile was not matched; had to be moved to another room, on another floor; had to call maintenance about no hot water; had to call to get fresh towels and trash emptied (was not told in advance that a call had to be placed daily for such service); requested a call from management to address - did not receive; requested a wake up call on day of check out - did not receive.

Qualitytravelsllc, it's unfortunate to read about your recent experience. We're truly sorry that some aspects did not meet your expectations. Regarding room preferences, although we strive to accommodate our guests' needs, sometimes due to demand or booking availability, it may not always be possible. We also apologize for the situation with the hot water and daily room servicing, and we've taken note of these crucial points. Not receiving a wake-up call or a return call from our team is certainly not up to our usual standards, and we appreciate you pointing it out. Your feedback is important and will be used to improve our services. We genuinely hope for another chance to restore your faith in our hospitality.

I was charged with no show in March of this year. I have explained to them that I have been fighting with the management since then to reverse the charge. I have talked to Ms. Miller (who unlike the accounting staff and the general manager is either in a meeting or just left work. She was very helpful in trying to understand my issue. The most recent conversation (today) I had was with the accounting department who informed me to call back and talk to Taylor Collingsworth. This is just another example of a round-around. Most hotels & retail companies ask for your number, and THEY (not the customer) will call back. I have had my Credit card hacked and I had several other Hiltons get charged and once I explained want to happen there was no problem. I do not understand the problem they are having with this issue. I am a Diamond member with Hilton for years and never had I had such a problem with the hotel issuing a waiver. The only thing I can say is this must be the management Needless to say, I will NEVER EVER RECOMMEND this hotel to anyone

This hotel was a great place to stay, but be careful of where you park and do not leave any valuables inside. My catalytic converter was stolen and there are no cameras. Just a heads up! Safe travels.

Room looked clean except for a few dark hairs in the bathroom. Good location to get around but freeway is noisy if you need quiet to sleep. Some staff may benefit from some basic customer service training. Not horrible for a city where a good hotel is about $400/night. If you have to come to Austin, I’ve stayed at worse places. Linens were all clean & there was a small clean refrigerator. If you start early, you will need to get breakfast elsewhere.
