This hotel is way past its prime. It feels very old and tired. One of the only things in it's favor is that you are not charged for parking. the elevators are all old and continually dirty. The ride up in elevator 2 of the main round tower was noisy and shaky. The garage elevator was very dirty and hot like an oven. The exercise room had very few options for working out. The functional weight machine had broken handles and was missing additional barbells. The dumbell set was incomplete and missing several partner dumbells. The pool was small and just OK. No shade or umbrellas. The pool towels were small and more like hand towels. No complimentary breakfast options and only one large urn of free coffee with no Decaf available. I did not try the breakfast buffet, it was $14 per person. The property itself was trashy and dirty. Overall this hotel was simply old, tired, dirty and worn out. Most likely will not stay again.

Left early, no A/C or hot water

I've stayed in this hotel a few times before for business and it was phenomenal. Unfortunately this time was not great. I brought my family to take advantage of the super convenient lake access for paddleboarding. First impression, there was opened food left from previous guests in the cabinets, the bathroom floor tiles were broken and loose to the point of shifting catching your bare feet when you got in and out of the shower and there was no hot water. Then the second night we had no A/C or hot water. I finally asked to change rooms but the entire hotel was experiencing significant issues. We were put in a slightly smaller room on the other side of the hotel for the final night, but when it still was not cool enough to be comfortable, we left early. Been happy before so maybe they were just caught off guard by the multitude of issues. The front desk staff was very apologetic and helpful but it did force us to cut our vacation short.

The view was outstanding. The bed was great. Pool are not in great condition, towels are in the laudry. Breakfast optional at 14$ is too much for sure, the selection is very low. AC is too loud and the bathroom really small.

Great place!

Great place to stay! Very comfortable and I love how nice the stuff is, they are super friendly, respectful and very helpful. I go to Austin regularly and I always stay here. I love being right next to the running trail by the lake as I run everyday and sometimes I also bring my bicycle with me and use it on the trail as well.
