The hotel is terrific and in a PRIME location. Oddly no elevators were working for guests, which seemed unusual for a hotel of this caliber.

What a beautiful hotel!
The room could use more powerful AC, but we live in Austin so heat is a norm, but the stay was still nice.

Terrible stay
Terrible stay. Told elevator had been broken for a week so had to carry bags up 3 flights of stairs and across the pool area in rain. Very noisy starting at 7am due to construction and delivery vehicles. Delivered towels but didn’t clean room or make bed. Front desk staff knew little about road closures due to marathon. No amenities like tissues, extra hand towels or face cloths, magnifying mirror

Amazing hotel, great food and great accommodations. Only drawback is the suites have limited clothing storage and no drawers. Regardless, would stay here again.
