The hotel is beautiful and the service was phenomenal. The pool area could use a bit more upkeep as cups and towels were left behind that were not picked up for hours.

I don't think I will stay anywhere else in Austin but here! It was brand new when we stayed and so so so gorgeous. The staff is courteous and helpful. Their rooftop bar is amazing and the room was so luxurious! Perfect in everyway

Kudos to General Manager
We had some issues with our stay and I posted a review detailing those out. The General Manager contacted us and made things RIGHT. I have to say the customer service I received went above and beyond. Truly appreciated!

Not worth the money
There were numerous issues. The staff was friendly, but the hotel seemed understaffed and our issues were never quite fully resolved/handled in a timely manner.We spent a great deal of money on the hotel room and expected more given the rates. Had we not decided to stay at a luxury hotel, the below issues could have been something we might encounter at a more budget motel. However, this was supposed to be an upper end hotel, therefore I think it is unacceptable. I understand staffing is a huge issue in today's economy. I also think you shouldn't overbook if you can't handle the guests you have. We had two different reservations and although we were told numerous times the reservations had been combined, they never were and kept locking us out of our room. Keys stopped working 3 out of the 5 days we were there and had to be replaced. We got calls asking us when we would be arriving even though we had already checked in and had already been told our reservation had been combined. Had to request maid service almost every day since service did not happen without the request.Did not replenish soap, etc. Our thermostat broke at 8pm one evening. employee told us it was a huge problem with the hotel. It took them two hours to get us to a new room. The new room's sheets had not been washed, a flashing light that lit up every time you got up or moved in the middle of the night. Faucet drained all night (noisy), LED light and phone did not work. Warm but not hot water

The staff were great. Our initial room had a problem with automatic light sensors. They made an initial fix very quickly but we later had to move rooms. All this was done seamlessly. This is a new hotel and the incident can be put down to snagging.

Relaxing weekend getaway spot
Great location within easy walking distance to most downtown places. There’s a spa on site which is primarily why we chose this hotel. They don’t have a couples room setup yet so we got massages in separate rooms, but the spa overall was very nice. The hotel pool was small, but the loungers and the rooftop view were amazing. Luckily there wasn’t too many people up there at a time so we weren’t ever crowded. The lobby is very nice and there are doorman to greet you in and out. Delta delayed our flights, but the hotel gave us a free late checkout to enjoy the hotel for a few more hours. The room was spacious and the modern furniture and large window were very nice. Overall it was a great relaxing getaway while we were there.

The facility was wonderful and close to walking paths for some outdoor exercise. My only complaint was that the website advertises the availability of kayaks and paddle boards; but when I asked the front desk about it, the clerk had no information. She said she would check with the concierge and get back to me, but I never heard from her. As we were only there for 3 days, we had hoped to book the activity around other planned activities. But ended up not being able to do one of our bucket list activities for this trip. Would have expected more. Also the on-site restaurant has a very limited and ‘eclectic’ menu, so we chose to dine elsewhere. But our room was clean, everything worked well, very comfortable beds, and the rest of the staff treated us like royalty.

For a new property, I guess it was fine
Overall, very nice. Great location. Bar service was not great. Our reservation was for 2 adults - so why just one chair in the room? 2 bathrobes (nice) but only one pair of slippers? Also, the motion sensor in the bathroom is a good idea, but it never detected us going into the shower, so no light in the shower

The location is ideal, close to great walking/biking trails and, via a pedestrian bridge, downtown Austin. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is new, so some amenities -- e.g. the cafe downstairs -- are not operational yet. Still, I would recommend the Loren to my friends visiting Austin.

Overall a good stay!
Overall everything was great. The a/c did not get cool at night and we could not get the fan on the a/c to stay "on", you could not adjust it, so there was no air mvmt at all in the room while sleeping. That is our only complaint. Otherwise staff was friendly, we walked to the Moody Theatre for a concert, great location.

There was loud construction happening outside the property, the room did not get cleaned, and when I asked to get it cleaned, they barely cleaned it, didn't change the bed sheets or vacuum. The air ventilation in this property was terrible. In addition, getting the car from the valet would take over 20 minutes each time we called the valet service from our room.

There was construction adjacent to the building and across the street, which made access to the hotel and noise an issue. The parking attendant was rude and would not let us pick up stored luggage we left at the hotel for the day.

Stayed in the green room and fell in love with the room the second I walked in. If you book it you will see why they call it the green room, it was incredibly relaxing and comfortable. It also sits in a very nice location right next to downtown and other cool attractions. This hotel has an average 10/10 rating and for good reason, don't miss out on a chance to stay at one of the nicest and coolest hotels you will ever stay at. I will definitely be booking here again the next time I make the trip to Austin.
