Great location if you’re going to concert at Moody Theater. But I feel like hotel is overpriced. Our room floor felt dirty and there towels felt like sand paper. The bar area down stairs is nice.

The staff was very nice and helpful, however the hotel was under heavy construction so I couldn’t really see what the hotel really looked like. Would like to come back when the construction is finished. The room service was not very timely perhaps due to the construction?

We absolutely loved our stay. We let the team know we were celebrating our anniversary with a staycation and they treated us to a brand new corner room with a view and desserts waiting in our room. We felt so special and cared for.

There was no mention the property was under construction. Temp front desk, no proper lobby or restaurant and pool was just a night club with 20 something’s hanging around the pool edges with drinks and pounding music. Seems it is leased out to a separate entity because could not even get ice from them when no ice machines working on floors. Guess a lot of this speaks to Austin in general. Definitely feel the squeeze on consumers and if you want something good you will have to pay, and I mean pay pay pay. For the hotel, probably should have been me doing due diligence and phone ahead to check things like construction.

I was a bit disappointed in the way renovation/construction interfered w/my expected 5 star stay. I had no "W" experience other than the roof top pool all at extra cost. The previously beautiful street level is caged and boarded up. You enter via service elevator behind the valet stand. Extension chords running through water everywhere, trash. The hotel was dingy. WiFi was spotty. Waited 40 minutes for car/valet/with two dogs and luggage. Rooftop pool and surroundings were dingy from parties. From the room cost, parking and additional fees and the fun money I chose to fork out up at the pool it was a $1k night for a "motel" experience.

W Austin disappointed
Front desk customer service was pretty bad. Not pleasant, welcoming, nada! Didn’t even seem like they cared if we were there or not. Stayed in some other hotels in the area and customer service experience was top notch.

More Motel than W hotel
Lobby is under construction so you have to enter via a service elevator. Pool was murky and disgusting looking, rooms were dated, found out because of the above they were selling off rooms for alot more than i paid. Rooms are dated and being periodically updated but just so many better hotels. Overall an underwhelming and disappointing stay

property was under construction but well disguised and very clean. We were met by staff at the entrance, lead us to check-in and our room. Booked last minute due to an event cancellation, staff was very friendly and accommodating.
