Good corporate location!
Pros:

The location is great for a corporate stay, but if you’re looking for activity around the hotel, there is none.

Cons:

The property is fairly dated. We’ve stayed there several times.. there has been no refurbishments over the last at least 3-4 years that we know of or can see. Also, we only had breakfast at the hotel, so I can’t comment on anything else, but the breakfast was never good.

Food is expensive but makes sense because it’s amazing. Hotel feels like one is in Italy, in Austin!
Cons:

Location is one where a car is needed. Most places are 10min drive away from hotel.

Pros:

This is a great hotel you stay at if it’s close and convenient to where you’ll be spending time during the day. Looks nice from the outside. Seems popular for weddings or parties (there were multiple on the same day). Complementary coffee in the lobby one morning.

Cons:

Very dated room interiors and filthy if you happen to look under any furniture.

Not the worst, but not great either.
Pros:

I think we were slightly disappointed with the experience. The front desk and service was polite, but towards check out, there seemed like an urgency to get us out/inflexibility. When booking online, I had asked for a late checkout. I called in the AM to confirm at 10:50, and they said we couldn't do it at all. I asked for just a bit of time for us to get ready (since we had expected to leave after 12), and by 11:04 the housekeeping knocked on our door. We had our bags on our shoulders asking for 2 more minutes, and they seemed visibly annoyed. When we got out of the door, we didn't even see them. It felt like they were sent to rush us out. I was celebrating a sober anniversary for myself, just wanting to have some good girl time, and politely asked for a few more minutes, since the booking over the phone said we could have a later check out. It kind of had the attitude of, "well, sucks. Bye!"

The photos online did the place a lot more justice. It kind of felt like a grandma's back bedroom instead of an updated or resort style room. Not to be mean, but it reminded me of a Holiday Inn almost. Maybe a little under the level of a casual Marriott. It wasn't worth $380. I would've preferred a Marriot at this price point. The couch bed had zero support and you could see the springs pushing through the top. I tried to put towels under the sheets so they weren't digging into my friend, and we called down for blankets multiple times to try to even make it okay to sleep on.

I'm not really a complainer, but it was a bit of a let down for how much that room wise price-wise. I really appreciated the bottle of wine (for my friends - I was celebrating a sober anniversary haha), but it just sort of was a bit of a bummer. Not enough ever to ruin a night, just like well... I thought that would be boujie and cute and fun. Instead, it was a bit old, run down, and cold-natured with some staff. Just felt off.

The best birthday at Laurel!
Pros:

Came to Hotel Viata to celebrate my birthday at the lovely restaurant called Laurel. Chose to dine outdoors, it was windy but a perfect temperature! We had the most wonderful server taking care of us—Simo Anani—who truly made us feel comfortable and brought us delicious appetizers and amazing wine!
He treated us to a fabulous birthday dessert to celebrate the occasion. My sister and her husband had flown in for the weekend and loved the dining experience! Food was excellent, service was the best! Thank you, Laurel and SIMO🙌👏👏👏👏

Very Special
Pros:

Wonderful experience! The ambiance, food and hospitality were superb.

Simo was the best waiter and had great recommendations. The Burrata appetizer was outstanding, the ribeye was cooked perfectly and the pistachio cake was the best treat.

I’ll be back to visit again.

Mediocre
Pros:

I scheduled 3 massages and two facials with family. The day of our appointment i got a cold sore, so obviously could not get my facial. It's a medical issue, nothing I could do. I still did the massage which was just ok, and the other two got massages and another a facial. I spent a lot of money there and then they charged me 90.00 dollars because I "cancelled" my facial. She could obviously see I had one. I would not recommend this spa. You can get a better service at other spas for a lot less.

First Visit to Hotel Viata - Family Highly Recommended It
Pros:

Nice hotel. We didn't stay long enough to take advantage of most of their amenities. The restaurant was good, service a bit slow even with very few people in the restaurant. Not an issue for us just relaxing and visiting with family... but noticable.
