8.2/10 Very Good! (1,007 reviews)
The staff was not the friendliest or welcoming at front desk, there was some Maintenance or other thing being done so the entire breakfast, table & chair area was closed off. We did not eat breakfast on site either day. There was only 2 bags of hot tea, both earl gray , and staff said they had no more tea on the premises. Our room smelled musty and damp and I had to use our body spray to make it pleasant. For the price of stay for 2 nights I expected better.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (73 reviews)
This was one of the best hotel rooms ever!
The front desk clerk was very nice, she let us know they had complimentary pasties and coffee in the mornings and complimentary drinks in the evening.
We had a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom with a balcony. The kitchen was a huge bonus, and it had everything you needed (pots, pans, plates, etc.).
Everything was very well thought out, and very clean. I definitely will be back if I'm ever in Austin.
