This hotel is pushing OK. The check-in went smoothly, and they do hand out yummy cookies upon check-in, so that was a plus, but I never had any experience with the staff. My mother, on the other hand, was treated indifferently by the bartender, and the windows in the bar were dirty, so she couldn't see out. The room was... More

This hotel is convenient to downtown Austin, the Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas campus. The room was nice and parking is free! I found the front desk personnel to be friendly and helpful. I will stay there again soon. More

When my daughter was a student at University of Texas, this was my hotel of choice. It is very close to campus, has a variety of restaurants nearby, is always clean, and the staff is friendly and acccomodating. It was always easy to find a good deal on room rates online. Rooms, dressing area and bathroom very spacious and nice.... More

Great property. Clean, comfy rooms and nice amenities. Staff is very friendly and helpful. And there's no beating warm, fresh cookies that greet you. Located on the other side of the freeway, so you are out of the traffic jams, but still extremely close to all the action of 6th street. Next to a very old cemetery, which was 'very... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times now. It is conveniently located, and very nice. I was there over Christmas this time, and very few people were there. The staff were so nice to us and were so willing to do anything we needed. They never gave any signs that they were working instead of being home with their... More

I enjoy the Doubletree franchise and generally seek them out. However, this is one where I doubt I will return. The resturant was over priced, the street noise from Interstate 35 was aggravating, the "in room" amenities were sparse and the wifi was largely non-existant. That said, the location was great. More

I stayed here for a week while doing research at UT. I wanted an efficient, decent, reasonably-priced hotel near the UT campus. The hotel mostly fitted that bill. The room was a bit dark and noisy -- next to the freeway, and I didn't like the charges in the business center, or the slowness of the free wifi (I guess... More
