Can improve on cleanliness overall good stay

Cute design, for the money it is good value

Unique style, location might be slightly too far from things but you can definitely still walk which we did. A bit disappointed that the quilt and pillow case had a few stains on it which didn’t make it a comfortable stay.

In town for a concert with friends- very awesome, fun hotel to hang out and relax!

Valet- SUPER helpful Bartender- Went above and beyond when an "unusual" cocktail was requested Pool and Pool Staff- Super friendly, very helpful, love all the pool floats! LOVE the pool/lounge area Housekeeping- VERY clean rooms Overall- love the robes and the general VIBE of the hotel! Front Desk- very helpful at check-in/check-out

Front Desk- Waited quite awhile at desk at 0200 to resolve an issue- never was able to talk to anyone that night Housekeeping- Did not replenish water, coffee, cups. Threw my bamboo toothbrush away! I think she thought it was disposable ;-) Front desk- needs to be a little more knowledgeable about restaurants/activities within walking distance Rooms- Need more hooks in bathroom for towels; Need more furniture or luggage racks. No place to unpack clothes or even set an open suitcase! (There is one small cupboard with shelves and the metal rack.

Great stay just don’t pick capital view cuz won’t be able to see it

That I picked a view of capital building and we couldn’t see capital anywhere from our window

Pleasant stay at Downright.

That staff were incredibly accommodating and so kind. Every single interaction was pleasant and left me feeling grateful.

The music in the lobby was very loud. Also, if you stay in a room above the pool the music is very loud as well. We actually moved rooms because of this. Hence the staff being super kind and accommodating statement above.

Lovely swim club and breakfast bar - but they need to fix the ACs in the rooms Texas is too hot for that

The staff was amazing and friendly the location for a concert at moody amphitheater is perfect !! Just a short walk

The first rooms AC did not work (rm 1630)- we were moved to a second room (1026)- which barely worked at 75 degrees. It was a rough hot night

Fantastic hotel, would definitely stay again!

I only stayed for one night so didn’t explore all that was on offer, but the hotel was beautiful and very clean. Bed was exceptional, the room had a stunning view and I had a fantastic night.

Can’t fault anything! 😌

It was ok

Staff is very friendly!!! Clean hotel great location

I booked a two queen room like 2 months ago because I have two teenagers!! While when we arrived they said they only had a king bed and we could get a roll away bed well it was a twin and they could not fit so she had to sleep with us. We paid for the view of the capital which we did not get at all

It was our first time in Austin and we had a wonderful stay.

The aesthetic of the hotel was awesome. My friend and I really enjoyed the café downstairs.

There was nothing glaringly wrong with the property.

Good

Nice renovated hotel

Didn’t get the room i booked: kingsize turned to very small sueensize. Highfloor was only 6th (goes up to 16 floors). Pictures show a shower. Was an old bathtub. Power outlets didn’t work or veeery low voltage. Not available to communicatie online through email or booking app chat. Noisy hallway

Aug 2024

Good but I expected great.

Great decor, ambience. Good location, great price. Pool was great.

The hallways were dirty. The concert hall next to the hotel kept me up one night. The lobby music is too loud for 6AM, the coffee was too expensive. Rooms should be quieter.

Aug 2024

Good stay. The food at the restaurant was good too and it was open late enough.

Fun place yet comfortable

No soap to wash hands at the sink in the bathroom

Relaxing.

Lobby & music.

The coffee shop did not accept cash and for some reason my & my son's MasterCard did not work at the coffee shop but worked all over Austin was not a good experience.

Je recommande, emplacement et décoration au top.

La décoration très sympa, bon emplacement, propre, piscine et salle de sport très bien.

Isolation sonore avec les bruits extérieurs (voiture, klaxon…) Prix du parking… 42$ la nuit pour le parking de l’hôtel (49$ avec un valet)

Pretty, clean hotel with nice staff

The location is great to move around downtown, the staff was very friendly and professional, the whole hotel has very aesthetic vibes that make you feel cheerful if you’re staying for a vacation. Everything was clean and neat.

Nothing!

The bar and restaurant was really nice. Nice esthetic. Also it was a decent distance from everything.

Wasn't too much I didn't like. Maybe that there wasn't a microwave but when I called they brought one to my room.

Felt busted by the parking fee that is 30% of the room rate. Day light robbery!

Well maintained and good location

60 dollars parking fee per night. INSANE in Austin

Parking cost is ridiculous. Should be part of the stay.

Should have breakfast like so many do.

Disappointing and unhelpful staff Sonya front desk

I emailed the hotel to let them know we would be checking in a day later . As I booked on booking.com of course I was happy to pay for the missed night. Sonya the lady that checked us in was so rude and told me because I was a no show the booking was cancelled. I showed her the email but she didn’t care. She told me the rate would now go up. She was rude and dismissive. This was the welcome we got after flying 17 hours from Australia. The following day booking.com called the hotel and the rate reverted back to the original. I am still waiting for a Refund of the difference. The hotel was very expensive midway through renovation. I couldn’t read my book in bed as no light bulb in light Only 1 cup in room so only 1 of us could make a coffee Mould in the clothing steamer in bathroom which smelt so bad Room was cleaned as we stayed a few nights but sheets not changed I stay at Sheratons all over the world and was shocked also the pool was empty but not told or shown this when we booked. Sonya the front desk clerk was angry and unhelpful. Very disappointed and will avoid Sheraton from now on.

Staff Sonya very rude and unhelpful No light bulb in bedside table so couldn’t read in bed Only 1 cup loaded so only 1 of us could have a coffee Renovations on going but not stated at booking

Alot of money being spent on renovations, awful colours, pink, marron and green!!

Hotel going through renovations. No hair dryer or safe in room. No grab bar in shower/bath, only one hook for towel in bathroom.

4.2

Dec 2023

Disappointing for a Sheraton branded hotel - it would be more honest to list it as a 3 star property

same hotel as conference venue so at least it was practical. reasonable walking distance to Austin's main attractions.

room standard very poor, old and un-renovated. Not enough lifts for when the hotel is full - easier to take the stairs - best floor is level 5 because that reduces how much you need to climb to get back to your room. Rooms weren't cleaned without prompting. Even basics like a kettle couldn't be provided. Very obvious staffing shortages and the staff that were there were clearly inexperienced.

It’s being renovated.

The rooms are very outdated and old.

Many issues, very unhappy with my stay.

Location

We were not notified that it was heavily under construction until we got there, many amenities unavailable or not working. Issue with lights, water, ice machines, etc.

4.2

Aug 2023

Very good

Room was comfortable, TV was big, ac cold, stayed dark with blinds in morning, comfy bed, no housing came knocking on door in morning. 🙂

Some middle aged short very red haired lady working night shift was very rude. She bud into me and the other front desk employee conversation while checking in denying my request for late check out, even though I am a bon voy member. Which was later accepted which I figured she was just being ugly for no reason. Also $42 parking not included, plus $20 every y time you leave is rediculous.

Austin visit

The location was suitable for easy walking area. Car parking is on-site, although payment required. Rooms average hotel rooms for USA.

The hotel is currently under renovation- no swimming pool and building work noise in hotel rooms. I think this should have been hightlighted in Booking.com website and discount offered. I only booked room two days prior to my arrival, so no reason for not being notified!?!?! Aug 2023.

The stay would have been fine, but booking. com was awful and ruined it

Hotel was very nice! the bed was super comfy and the room felt safe. The entire facility felt very clean and well kept. Staff was really accommodating as well.

The entire experience through booking.com sucked!! The hotel was also under construction while we were there, which we were not made aware of before hand so many areas were closed and it was so loud.

I wish I would have know that I can’t use the gym and specifically the pool in the summer before I book this hotel.

It was a nice location and it was clean.

They were under construction and they didn’t tell us when we booked the flight. When we got there at the checking the revealed that the hotel is under construction and there is no gym or pool. Parking was extremely expensive. $54 per night which is ridiculous.

4.2

Aug 2023

wasn’t great and didn’t expect construction.

the location was great.

Doing construction on the building and didn’t advertise that when booking. loud work being done from 8am to 5pm all you hear is loud drilling and hammers.

9.5/10 . Wish the pool was open

The breakfast was AMAZING best I ever had. Beds in the king size rooms are super comfortable.

Other then it’s on a hill and didn’t have a car, it was no complaints
