    The King Room was super comfy! The thermostat actually let us cool down the room, which was a win for my chilly-loving heart. Parking in the garage was easy, and the room offered plenty of space for our stuff.

    renovated lobby
    fantastic location
    excellent dining

    The hotel features a beautifully renovated lobby and dining area, providing a welcoming atmosphere. The location is fantastic, being just a short walk from 6th Street and the Capitol. Dining at the hotel restaurant is a must, with an impressive breakfast and even better dinner options. The fitness center is well-equipped, and each machine has a TV where guests can log into their Netflix accounts.

    100% recommend for a swift visit

    Charming lobby, comfortable room, enjoyed a delightful stay with a well-decorated space and convenient amenities like the nice cafe in the lobby and the lovely bartender at the restaurant, all within a short distance from a metro station.

    Not one thing.

    location advantage
    helpful valet service
    limited dining
    variable service
    bedding issue

    The location shines, providing easy access to local attractions and a pleasant 20-minute walk to a nearby university. Valet service was exemplary, and the remodeled gym was a plus. However, the dining options were limited, requiring meals to be sought outside. Additionally, the quality of service varied, with some staff providing less helpful responses than expected. Room issues included receiving feather bedding despite requests for non-feather alternatives.

    great meal

    The staff was really something special they were friendly and just made you feel at home like they genuinely care which is rare nowadays and the meal at the restaurant was surprisingly tasty like they put a lot of effort into it

    It wasn't exactly cheap but overall acceptable for the experience

    The charming outdoor areas, especially the lawn, provided a lovely and relaxing atmosphere. Staff were attentive, ensuring everything was accessible and comfortable for seniors. The indoor and outdoor pool options were delightful for leisurely swims.

    Greater attention to room renovations would be appreciated.

    ongoing renovations
    unavailable facilities

    I had a short stay, mostly to explore downtown and catch a concert nearby. The location is excellent, making it easy to walk to various attractions and venues. I appreciated the charming outdoor areas, which provided a relaxing atmosphere after a busy day. However, the renovations were quite inconvenient as the main facilities were unavailable during my visit.

    decent stay but could improve

    The location is excellent, just a short walk from vibrant streets. The room was spotless with a pleasant aroma that made our stay enjoyable.

    The check-in experience was fast but felt a bit rushed.

    clean room
    friendly staff
    great breakfast
    constant noise
    high parking fees

    The Renaissance in Austin has some great features. The staff greeted me warmly at check-in. I appreciated being allowed to check in early after my long flight. The room felt spacious, with a comfy bed and plenty of natural light. I loved the modern decor and the cleanliness of the area. The location is fantastic, close to many attractions and dining options. The breakfast buffet impressed me, especially with its variety, including fresh fruit and tasty pastries. I enjoyed the pool area. it was sunny and had a lovely atmosphere. However, there were some drawbacks. The noise from the ongoing renovations made it hard to relax at times, especially during the day. The parking fees surprised me, as I expected something more reasonable for hotel guests. Also, the Wi-Fi was somewhat spotty in my room.

    unique dining experience
    dated room decor

    I had a fantastic 3-night stay! The pool area was stunning and well-maintained, and the delicious breakfast at the Morning Bird was a highlight for my family. We also loved the unique 'swim club' dining concept that added fun to our stay!
