Southeast Austin Pet-friendly Vacations

We had issues with the room key card. It routinely took multiple tries to unlock the door. The complementary breakfast was disappointing. There was no maid service so no new towels & no in-room coffee after the first day. There were two treadmills in the work-out room & neither worked. More frustrating was that there were no signs to advise “ out of order” on the machines. The property looked “tired.” Had the bed not been comfortable & the shower great, this rating would have been “poor” vs. “okay.” We probably won’t stay here in the future.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable however the pillows were too thick. It would’ve been nice if there was another option. There could be a little more done to update the bathroom and fixtures, as well asclean up the ceiling in the room area as it looks, as if some of the ceiling was a little bit old and weathered but all in all it was a nice and safe place to stay.

The Atwell was quite possibly the nicest “airport hotel” we’ve ever stayed at. From the front desk staff, who we never would have known were new (only 2 weeks on the job) if they hadn’t told us, to the shower that felt like what I imagine showering in heaven would feel like, everything was wonderful. We had an issue with the AC unit in our room and they immediately remedied it. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub but they both looked great (& the hot tub was huge—it can fit at least a dozen people and is over 3 feet deep!). The rooms are spacious and decorated with bright art that is not garish. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and despite being between a busy highway and a busy airport, the room was very quiet. They also have a really nice (& reasonably priced) bar with small meals—flatbread, chicken sandwich, and other appetizer-type foods. And there’s a Denny’s right next door if you need a more substantial meal. The lobby has good coffee and a snack shop, and there are several different sitting areas (communal spaces) and a business center which we didn’t use but it’s nice to have the option. I had no idea the Atwell was so nice but now that I do, we’ll definitely be back. You won’t regret staying here!
