“it's the spot”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

overall it was great. complication with room resulted with free valet. grabbed drinks downstairs in super cool lounge. the atmosphere was mellow. music from dj was loud, but you didnt have to scream to carry on a conversation. if your looking for a upper scale location for drinks with a date; its here. would recommend to anyone.

“Very dissapointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

My husband and I love staying at W Hotels, but the Austin W was very dissapointing for three main reasons:
1. The Lobby, which is always impressive, failed to impress, there was just nothing special about it at all. For the room price, we always look forward to having drinks in the lobby. No live music, no view of the street, nada.
2. Our room had only a IPhone dock for music. We have Android phones, so guess what we could not listen to any music. We called the desk thinking they must have an adapter or CD player or something, they did not, we were offered nothing. Guess if you don't own an Apple device your out of luck.
3. There was absolutely no extra toiletries in our room, I mean there were no Qtips, no mouthwash, no shower cap. Just shampoo and conditioner, that was all.

Overall, the W in Austin is not worth the price, other W Hotels are so much better and way more fun. Stay at the Driskell, its very traditional but we went there for drinks, and its lobby is impressive, there was live music and a hopping fun bar.

“Wonderful experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

This was our first stay at a W hotel and we were very impressed. The staff was very helpful and the room was perfect. The location in Austin is ideal, a short walk to almost everything. The W is attached to Austin City Limits and we saw two great shows there.

“Wedding night at the W Austin”

We stayed at the W Austin after our wedding and it was a perfect night as expected. The service was spot on, the room was absolutely AMAZING and the view from the room was even better. Good job W Austin!

“Love the W Austin”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

I completely enjoyed my stay at the W. There were several parking options which was helpful. The hotel staff was helpful and friendly. And you cannot beat the location. Close enough to 6th street to walk but far enough away that the crowd isn't on top of you. Thank you Hayley at W Austin for a great weekend. Can't wait to come back for a longer stay!
