Nice hotel but the staff need training
Booked two rooms for a family trip to Austin. Requested connecting rooms and was told they were. Got upstairs and they were not. Had to go back down to the service desk and wait in a long line to fix the rooms. Then the day of check out i needed a key replacement and the person working the front desk was very unprofessional when I needed a key replacement.

I Won't be Back
Pros: convenient to where I needed to be, newly renovated Cons: 1. Cafe ran out of coffee and a fruit cup at 7:15 a.m. 2. Cafe service very slow and unfriendly. 3. "Restaurant" hard to find and very uninviting. Theme is dining in an empty swimming pool. 4. Service very slow for bar service and food,, though there were only 3 tables occupied

Great/eclectic. Perfect w/ a little improvement.
Overall very good! Embraces is 1980s roots. Take confirmation of any package offerings because this platform did not transmit the free parking or the food credit. (Check-in employee immediately honored it.) Two out of the four front desk employees were very friendly and one remembered my name later. Room was very comfortable after they promptly fixed the thermostat. There needs to be better lighting above the sink. Shower products are great but the lotion does not have a pleasant smell. The quick service breakfast place is overpriced (even for a hotel) and needs one more cook because it was slow.

Downright Austin No Picnic
Will not ever stay at Downright again. Hotel has quality control problem. Small but very irritating details that make a person’s stay a positive experience. No soap at the bathroom counter and no trash can in bathroom. Hair dryer would not plug into wall. Took the dryer downstairs and gave to any employee who said he would take care of it. Three hours later when I returned to the room it had not been delivered yet. Called front desk and they had it sent to my room. It wouldn’t plug into wall either. Third time was a charm. The kicker was I stayed at the hotel last year and the toilet paper holder was dangling off the wall. This year, the same exact thing happened! What are the odds? But the coup de grace was that breakfast bar ran out of coffee by 7:15 AM! That is inexcusable!

Wonderful and Happy Staff
Beautiful room with a great view of Austin! Super comfy beds, too. I really like how you have to use a key card on the elevator, for added security. All staff members we encountered were super helpful and friendly.

Meh
The garage is horrible. Signs are on one side to pay and then it's easy to scrape your rims on the other side, as you are looking on the pay side on the other side. Did I mention, this messed up my new car. Also, valet didn't budge when I pulled up. I had to walk up to them. Front desk said everyone scraps their rims in the garage, including themselves. When I checked in, they made me pull out my laptop and show them the free parking and $22 credit per day, then only gave me $20 credit for two days. The customer service was very poor. When I asked for any questions, they seemed bothered to help. Overall, meh. I'm most upset about messing up my car for a subpar hotel experience. I won't stay there again. Also, when I was checking out, the only front desk person, got in line behind me to get a coffee for herself, and then asked to give me a small breakfast credit for all my trouble as I was checking out. What will I do with a breakfast credit when I'm leaving, already bought a coffee, and have someplace to be by a certain time? It's like the customers are an afterthought to their own personal needs. Also, when I checked in, the front desk clerk complained about how they were tired from working last night and today, late afternoon. Meanwhile, I had 4 hours of sleep and commuted from one major city to another. It seemed like I was providing more customer service to the employees there than they did for me.

Stay here
The stay was great but our AC unit was freezing, they fixed it, and then it was boiling. We ended up just turning it off but other than that our stay was great. The hotel was very Austin. We really enjoyed the swim club.

Great place - clean/nice - but a few odd quirks
Traveled as a family (two adults and two small children). Some things you might not know just from the webpage if you haven't stayed here: 1. There is nowhere to leave your car while you check-in. Either you go into self-parking (and pay for it) or you go to the valet (and pay for it) or you ask the valet nicely if you can leave your car parked along the edge for 10 minutes. In my case, the valet was nice and let me do that, but he did make clear that the standard expectation is to pull into self-parking EVEN WHILE checking in. 2. The rooms are art-deco sort of rooms. That is neat and all in the look, but a bit less so in practical aspects. For instance, there is no dresser for your clothes, and no microwave. We asked about both. They were more than happy to have a microwave brought up to our room (within the hour of request) and leave it there for the duration of our stay. I heard them offer the same to another guest who asked, so it must be a regular thing. Nothing they could do about the lack of clothes storage. We simply left our clothes inside the suitcase for four days. 3. If you buy the food package, you get a card good for "two breakfasts", but it isn't quite like you might expect from other hotels. It isn't a buffet rights for two people. Rather, you wait in line and order from the cashier your particular breakfast request. They have about six or seven main meals, and a few side options. Doesn't matter how much the meal costs (on the menu), you ge
