I was woken up three times during my stay (starting at about 8am) by a loud, clicking intercom and when i asked what happened, I was told that it was for a test of the alarm system that would continue later in the day. I asked "why can't you just wait until 11 after everyone is awake or has checked... more

You cannot ask for a better location if visiting the self proclaimed live music capital of the world. Strategically located on Congress Ave near both 6th Street and the more refined 4th Street areas in downtown Austin. The hotel is located in a refurnished historical building, so there is not a lot they could do without sacrificing some of the... more

Booked through hotwire. Got to the hotel early and was told that 'prepaid' means you get a standard room, they didn't have a king or a room with 2 queens. They had a room with one queen unless I wanted to 'upgrade' for an extra $39 a night and get a bigger room with a queen and a roll-away cot.... more

I WOULD NOT stay here again. I came into town a few days early and booked a hotwire room at the Hilton, they were booked solid for the actual conference next door. I called the Intercontinental also a hotwire booking and asked about checking in a few hours early, I can hear "Tammy" typing, sure she says I have "booked... more

Stayed here for two days, got a great deal, 170 dollar for an executive floor suite. Typical Intercontinental hotel, in old fashion style. The room (14th floor) was just average, not the typical suite size, but not small either. Couldn't really see what that kitchen corner was about. no refrigerators or chair attached to it. The biggest problem was the... more

I came here on business and feel like my travel agent overpaid a bit for the hotel - the rooms and facilities are nice but feel like they haven't been updated in a while. Staff is very sweet and helpful. The gym is decent. Note that the hotel is centrally located with valet parking. more

Staff are very attentive from the moment of arrival. My room was perfect. King with lovely sitting area. Large bathroom with seated vanity area. Tastefully decorated. Love the "historic feel". Good proximity to 6th Street, the Capitol complex, and/or the University. Yes, onsite parking is steep, but this is downtown Austin and my experience is that the SFA is comparable... more

I stayed by myself at the InterContinental Stephen F. Austin on July 19, 2009 for one night. The hotel lobby is elegant. Check-in staff was very friendly. I got this hotel via Priceline for a great deal ($60 + fees). When I checked in I asked what type of bed I had. I was told Queen and I wrinkled my... more

The room was very nice and in a great location if you are looking to walk on 6th street. I thought the price was kind of high but I booked this hotel very last minute and there wasn't much available in Austin. The bed took up most of the bedroom, I am not sure how big this room was but... more

Great Hotel!

Great hotel! Very nice and very great location. We booked through priceline, and got a great deal. Check-in is not until about 4, but we got there about 1. They told us our room was ready, but we got in there and a man was cleaning up a spill off the floor. The room was very muggy and damp, but... more
