I contacted Travelocity by Chat and communicated my complaint to Shakir who said he had to evaluate and assured me that he would e-mail me. He assured me that I would not have to followup but give him 24 hours. Well, it has been two days and no response. Am I being ignored?

Gotta be honest the stay was one of the worst I’ve had at an hotel in a long time, especially for what we paid for each night. We had cold showers each morning, was told by the front desk to let it run for 10 to 15 minutes before getting in. the joining room next to us was extremely noisy throughout the night, we could hear everything through the door connecting the rooms as we tried to sleep. There is a night club right next to the hotel and on the second floor we could hear in our room until they closed. Last not sure what kicked on in our room after the ac but it sounded like an old copy machine, if I did happen to doze off it would wake me up each time throughout the night. Sorry I don't usually complain but for what we paid for each night (price was inflated to almost $500 a night due to f1 and Texas football game) and the fact that we are here for the f1 race we've had some long days and early mornings, so sleep for me and my family was pretty important at the time. We were pretty exhausted by the time the weekend was over. I will never return to this hotel but if you choose it, I’d recommend a high room to hopefully eliminate the outdoor noise and request a room without an adjoining door.

Hotel is fine. Exits to stairwells are not well marked. Outside (not the hotel's fault) is awful; zombies everywhere. Would be nice if the city would clean up the outside-of-their-mind folks so mothers and young children don't have to worry about being pished in front of a bus. Downtown Austin is in the hurt locker.

Great and affordable hotel
Overall, a very pleasant stay. The staff was wonderful and responsive, friendly, and nice! Everyone was very clean and large and well lit. There were many areas for sitting and sleeping. The bathroom was perfectly clean and large. The free amenities at the hotel like the breakfast were awesome.

The pool was beautiful but dirty. Clumps of hair floated at the bottom. We stayed four nights and only got housekeeping once and had to request it after we were missed for three days. Staff were lovely and friendly. Yes it is noisy with the bar across the street playing loud music until after midnight. Parking is expensive and is an additional fee to your stay.
