A great location close to the Texas State Capitol and also to the very vibrant 6th Street. Our suite was most comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff at Reception and the Porters were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would be happy to recommend this hotel.
We were offered an upgrade to a suite, which we accepted. The quoted price excluded taxes, but when we were presented with our account, the total cost, including the taxes was almost double the quoted cost of the upgrade.I think that more transparency in pricing these optional upgrades in a way that allows customers to understand the actual final cost would provee to be a more genuine approach onthe part of the Sonesta group. This unexpected cost put a little bit of a damper on what was otherwise a most pleasant stay.

The vibe
Poor front desk staff , I had to call three times to order more towels
Secondly, I wanted to get my room cleaned. I told the front desk both days for room service, and no body came to clean the room.

Staff and location were great
Pool was horrible

The staff were super nice. The hotel was great, huge rooms and staff recommended places to go.
It took awhile for the water in The shower to to get hot. Kind of a disappointment when you’re in a hurry.

The location was very good
The hotel charged me with a surprised deposit of $80.00 per night that was not included in the estimate and did not give me any receipt or voucher and now I have to wait for an “automatic” refund that will be processed in a couple of days and I am really worried about it.

Staff was incredible, valet was amazing. Every time we headed out for a short walk they would ask if we had something to do or if we needed some ideas. One even asked why we were there (oddly no staff at the desk did) when we told him it was our 27th anniversary he spoke to a staff member and brought a small bottle of champagne and two glasses for us. Very nice touch.
Website and front desk both stated breakfast was a buffet. When we arrived it was a menu and very awkward. The waiter came over and said if there is something on the menu you want, take a seat. Also when you are charged a resort fee to free water bottles in room and coffee, we thought coffee would be all day not ending at 11am.

The staff was amazing! So friendly and went above and beyond for us.
It wasn’t a big deal but the hallways and room felt a bit outdated and stuffy.

location, history, big room
in room services were average (no snacks, mini bar, room service menu and limited toiletries).
4.3
Very clean, great location, pool and Jacuzzi nice and clean and everything works. Comfortable bed. I was treated very politely with wonderful customer service. The valet option is awesome since you have to pay for parking.
The $57.00 per night was expensive but you have to pay that at any Downtown Hotel anyway . You can find a parking lot several blocks down 20.00 cheaper and the vehicle is not protected and you don't get Valet when you need your vehicle. Choose your battle ! The refrigerator does not cool off enough . Your food will spoil. A water bottle stays at room temperature.

decor, location, and cleanliness
valet charge and breakfast charge was too much.
4.3
Beds were very comfortable, staff was friendly, great terrace to sit and take in the sounds, location is fantastic.
The bathroom was very small. The sink had limited space to hold toiletries so a hanging toiletry bag is necessary.

This is a very nice hotel on Congress in Austin. It does the basics to a high standard – friendly and professional staff, efficient check in, fast and functional elevators, clean and welcoming lobby and other areas, and calm and quiet environment in the hotel at night. Our room was very large, with a living room area including sofa and another comfortable chair, and an adjoining bedroom. The bathroom was also spacious. We had a great view of the Capitol building from the living room area! We stayed here during SXSW music festival and the hotel could not be better located for the venues on Red River – close enough to walk in a few minutes, but far enough away to be quiet for sleeping. Would stay again next time.
