Too Hot to Sleep
The room was way too hot to sleep comfortably. We could not get it to come on when we needed it. It was not a good nights sleep at all. The thermostat said 65 but that was an out right lie. It was more line 75/77 in that room. The air would kick on once an hour maybe 45 min so your constantly taking covers off putting covers on. Just too terribly hot in our room.

Austin Stay
Wonderful stay. Parking is expensive ($50). Construction in area causes delays. The only is lighting above sink is wrong making putting on makeup a challenge. This is a more open concept. A curtain between shower and bathroom would be nice. Great rooftop bar at adjoining hotel! Very close to arena and UT.

This is my last time staying here. While the location is great, I can’t justify the nightly rate for such an average room. Every 20 minutes I hear a slamming sound like a cabinet door is being shut, housekeeping skipped us in the morning. Oh well, plenty of other options
