We liked the close proximety to everything, the staff that we intereacted with was great. The cleaning people need to pay better attention to detail and clean hard floors and endtables.
The staff was extremely friendly and professional from the Valet to check-in to the bartenders. The building is very historical and fun to explore. My room was clean, comfortable and quite luxurious. All in all i enjoyed the hotel and will stay there again on my next visit to Austin.
Central location if traveling for work, 3 blocks from Fed Ex, plenty of food options, clean room, spacious, good restaurant, (order the chicken tortilla soup!), staff very helpful.

Thank you Sylvia. We appreciate your great review.
This was a great location - easily walkable to restaurants, and a quick drive to other places we wanted to see. The valet is a little pricy, but does make it easy! The staff was super friendly, too.
Good location with lots of things within walking distance. Windows need to be cleaned. Wanted to eat breakfast but staff told me they wouldnt be able to get to us for quite a while although the place only had a few people. We had to go somewhere else for breakfast.

I am still here but so far it has been fantastic. Nothing but good to say about my stay, and my meal at The Roaring Fork was exceptional. A

We are very sorry about the lose of your wallet. Our valet manager should be reaching out to you. Hopefully he can help find out what happened and find a resolution. Sincerely
Free upgrade was advertised by Expedia and front desk would not honor it even though available. They demanded a 25 dollar cost on upgrade. Totally misleading by Expedia perk! Not good

We are so sorry to learn that you did not have a positive experience. We hope that you return to the property so that we may show you the Stephen F. Austin hospitality.
We loved our time at The Stephen F Austin Royal Sonesta. The room was perfect. The bar and terrace was a unique highlight… the cocktails of the month are a must! Valet parking was very convenient too. Overall a wonderful stay!

Thank you for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated.
Historic hotel with lots of cool character. Staff is charming and customer service is clearly a priority. The area is very fun. We walked around the capital, Riverwalk, and second Street all only a couple minutes from the hotel. Hotel has a well equipped brand new gym and a nice indoor pool and hot tub to enjoy on those cold days. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy the restaurant and bar but those looked like they had great ambience and outside balcony seating.

Beautiful hotel in downtown Austin. Close to all venues. Everything was in walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Did not visit bar but looked very pretty. Very quiet and accommodating room.

Thank you for the feedback. We look forward to seeing you again.
Our stay was 10 out of 10 from check in to check out. Friendly, professional staff and accommodations were beyond our expectations. Great location for an event or evening out on the town.

It's not bad
Hotel is in a good location. Some street noise leaks in, even on the 9th floor. Service is great. The room could be cleaner. There were pebbles on the closet floor, which I guess never gets vacuumed, but overall very decent. Enjoyed the bar and bar service.
