Cons:

needs to be updated. I am a hospitality designer, and I work on Hilton Garden Inn Properties all over the country. This property, while clean and a friendly staff, is very outdated. I am quite surprised that Hilton has not demanded a renovation.

Good stay, parking situation should be addressed.
Pros:

Location unbeatable.

Cons:

Staff was just OK. Not as friendly as Austin in general. Parking is $70/night. That's absurd. Tried to cancel my last night well ahead of time, but I was told it would cost $300 more for one night less.

Recommend this place to stay!
Pros:

I love the location and staff of the hotel. Very convenient and comfy. Staff were all friendly and kind! Would like to stay there again when I visit Austin!

Cons:

The toilet water pressure was a bit weak, and the fan noise a bit loud, but it was understandable.

Pros:

Zweckmäßige Unterbringung. Nichts besonderes aber auch nichts schlechtes.

Cons:

Weder bei Anreise noch Abreise war das Personal freundlich. Eher emotionslos und kalt. Willkommen sieht anders aus.

It was ok but I don’t know that I’d stay there again.
Pros:

Comfortable and clean.

Cons:

The parking was expensive and separate from the hotel bill. The breakfast menu that was advertised was not available instead it was a $22 buffet that was meh.
