“Nice Hotel, Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Nice, clean, relatively quiet hotel close to the 6th street entertainment area. Great place to stay for business. A little pricey during the F1 race weekend - and I was surprised that the lobby restaurant shut down during the afternoon. But all-in-all, I would come back.

Room Tip: Get a higher room away, not facing 6th Street for quiet.

Thank you for taking time to post your positive feedback regarding your recent stay. Our restaurant, Anchos, does close at 2pm and reopen at 5pm; however, we do have full food service available in our Lobby Bar. We hope to see you again in the near future.

“Lobby Bar Rip Off”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

Fun place, but watch out for being over charged at the lobby bar during the F1 race weekend. Went last night and ordered two glasses of wine and one appetizer. When the bill came I was not given an itemized listing, just a total and a place to add gratuity, which I did (20%). When I asked to see why it was so much $43.00. (Two glasses of wine at 12.00 each and the appetizer was around 9.00) I was told it was because an 18% gratuity was already added to the tab. So it cost me $51.00 total and the waiter got a 40% tip. Again the managements expiation was because it is F1 weekend and with all the out of town visitors from Europe staying at the hotel it was easier for them to have the gratuity added to the bill. I was given a complementary glass for wine because I notice this policy. So beware of your bar bill.

Thank you for your comments regarding you experience at our bar this weekend. I am sorry for the confusion over the added gratuity. Due to the high number of international visitors we added gratuity to our restaurant and bar bills for the Formula 1 event. It is printed on all of the menus and advises if you have questions to ask for a manager and they would remove the amount. I apologize that your server did not bring this to your attention. I do hope you will come and visit us again on your next trip to Austin and hope the rest of your stay was wonderful.

“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

The hotel was clean and quiet, which is very important to me. The hotel is in the perfect location for downtown activities and 6th street. I am with another review, I had trouble finding outlets to plug things into, but not a biggie.

My only complaint is that for a 4 star hotel, there were no services for that 4 star price. I would at least expect coffee in the lobby...that is a standard in the industry these days. There was coffee, but you had to pay for it = Starbucks.
