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?

I’ve stayed here before as it’s great rates and walkable to things. Unfortunately I had hats in the bathroom which lead to a bite as they were on towels. When reporting to the front desk, she said hmmm and that was kind of it. Again it’s a comfortable place for a budget, but the service is in line with that.

It was a nice place to stay right in downtown so everything was easy to get too. It was clean and comfortable. The bed was big comfortable. The staff were very nice. The only things I'd have to say I didn't like were the parking situation and the refrigerator didn't appear to be working. Since we were only there for the one night the refrigerator wasn't a big deal but they should make sure to check it out for future guests. However, there were no clear signs to point out where you need to go to park. It was a bit confusing but thankfully we figured it out. Also the space trying to get in the parking garage was very tight and if you have a big vehicle you will have trouble. Also not more than one car at a time can get through the path to the garage. Overall though had a great experience and if I'd stay again.

This property was conveniently located right outaide of downtown Austin. Within walking distance of the Capital and entertainment options. There was a club a block away that had a live band. We rhought it would keep us up all night but it ended at a reasonable time.

Stayed for an overnight trip. Did not care for the parking, as it was in a sketchy, dark, unsafe underground parking garage 4 stories below the actual hotel. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The breakfast left a lot to be desired. Not good at all.
