Hotel berhampiran Barracuda, Austin

We opted to stay on Rainey based on what Rainey was like in the past. However, we didn’t realize that this is the new site for redevelopment in Austin, so a lot of the charm of Rainey is being replaced by high-rises. The hotel did provide early plugs in the room to help block out construction noise, and for that I was super thankful. The hotel sent the typical welcome text earlier on check-in day. We checked in online and opted for a digital key because we’d arrive after midnight, and wanted to go straight to our room. Upon arrival, our digital key didn’t work at the garage or at our room. We went back to the lobby and waited a while without anyone coming up to help. After yelling “hello,” to try and get help, an employee came to the front desk. It wasn’t the typical welcome, as they seemed kind of put out about us being there - but hey it was 3 am so I can overlook that. After getting us regular room keys, I asked if my digital key would work now too. They shared that the digital key system was new and had not been working. The welcome text really should have mentioned that. The room smelled off when we arrived - almost like BO. Possibly it was from someone cooking onions in a nearby room, but it was just as pungent then next morning.. When we got the “how was you stay text”, we mentioned the smell. The front desk staff was helpful and offered to have housekeeping go by and freshen the room. When we arrived back at the room that evening, there was an aerosol odor-ban food smell remover spray on the table. Nothing else was done and the room smell was just as bad. Same smell on the day we departed. Our room was on the 16th floor so possibly other areas were not as bad. If you do opt to stay here, it is not terrible. Set your expectations lower as it is more like a Choice Hotels brand stay than a Hilton family stay. Also if you reserve the one bedroom king and plan to have your kids stay on the sofa bed, know it is not paid out like some other Homewood suites. The sofa bed is the same, but the only way to access the bathroom is via the bedroom. Also, the sink and vanity are not separated from the bedroom by a door and the shower is the old tub insert shower combo. So if your kids are teens and stay up later like ours do, just get two rooms. The place really needs an update all around to be up to be we usually experience at a Homewood. Hopefully it is up for one soon as the location is great. We’ll be booking at the Hilton instead when returning to Austin, though.

Kami menginap di Hyatt Regency pada malam perkahwinan kami sungguh luar biasa! Kami berharap mungkin ada sampanye atau sesuatu yang istimewa kerana ini adalah malam perkahwinan kami, tetapi secara keseluruhannya masih merupakan pengalaman hebat. Kami mempunyai pemandangan dan layanan hebat sepanjang malam di sana. Pasti akan tinggal lagi!

Came to town for a concert and chose the Hilton for its proximity to Moody Center and lovely photos of the property. From the moment we pulled in and were greeted by the valet staff, to checking in with Chris Hartfield (sp?) at the front desk, we knew we’d picked the right place. Chris was very welcoming and even worked to get us into a larger room which was not available online. He was so kind, gave us information to help us with our evening around town and made us feel at home. Our room was clean and spacious, the decor was nice and beds/bedding was very comfortable. We chose to take a Lyft to the event but took a nice walk thru Austin on the way back to enjoy the city. Highly recommend and wish we could have stayed longer.

Stayed for one night for kids sports tournaments in town. Check in was simple and parking is free on sight. The room had a fridge and microwave so we could keep snacks handy. Location is perfect in central Austin, only about 10min to get anywhere. It’s an older hotel with updated areas, so it’s not going to be stellar but it was perfect for what we needed.

The staffs are nice and helpful. Well managed rooms as well.

酒店有商務車可以到機場接送，非常實用。提前30分鐘聯繫酒店前台，在機場出口專門的停車位等着就行。早晨非常實用，蘋果甜

Stayed for 3 nights. Room was clean & spacious. 5 min walk to 7-Eleven & Denny's open 24 hours + a few other food options. Airport shuttle pickup included but I arrived around midnight so took an Uber from airport for $15. 10 min walk to CapMetro bus 20 to downtown. Great value overall.

The room was good but the lighting in the room was very dim and inadequate. There needed to be one more overhead light between the front door and the tv area. And the curtains weren't very nice - could use some updating. On the plus side, breakfast was good and the bathroom lighting was VERY good, which is unusual in hotels. Overall, I'd give the hotel a 4 out of 5.

The check-in and out was smooth. Our stay is ok, the room is quite small but bed is comfy. The breakfast option was nice but the next day, we woke up a bit late, we joined buffet breakfast at 8:30AM but most of the food were gone and was not replaced. The location is good, near N. Lamar Ave and I-35 which is accesible to Downtown Austin.
