Worst beds ever
The location is great, but the beds are rock hard. We never complain about things at a hotel, but we complained about the beds after the first night. All they could do was give us a mattress cover that was more like another sheet that we had to put on ourselves. We woke up sore every morning that we were there, so if you’re looking for a comfortable bed, look elsewhere. We also had a small lounge couch in our room and it had a big stain on it. It was so disgusting that we had to ask them to remove it from our room. I would not stay at this hotel again.

The stay at HI Express was fantastic. It had all the amenities, unlike the Sheraton that I stayed at the next day. I wish I had stayed at HI Express instead.

Building and neighborhood don’t look like much at first but once inside the place looks brand new. Nice breakfast area and beautiful pool. Staff was great, especially Alessia, the front desk manager. She had great suggestions for dining and touring Austin and always greeted us with genuine interest in our day when we returned. A real gem. This is a great, affordable option for staying near the Austin music district or capitol. One caveat, some of the rooms overlook a bar across the street with an outdoor stage. So you may want to ask about rooms on the other side of the building for less noise on nights when bands are playing. Still, our room overlooked the area and was pretty soundproof, so even with the bands the noise wasn’t bad.
