Having 4 elevators and only 1 that worked. At 1 point we waited over 10 minutes for the 1 elevator that worked. When the elevator door did open up it was packed like sardines. The amenities area in the lobby had no coffee and hot water machine was out of order to make a cup of tea.

It was an ok stay. Valet is pretty pricey especially for overnight. The room wouldn’t get cold. Also our restroom one morning had ants in the sink & a few in the tub. (No food was left in there). Only one elevator was working. The staff was pretty nice though overall.

The room felt neglected and room service did not come once, leaving us to request fresh towels each day. Every time we did ask, the front desk made us come down to the lobby, which was a difficult task in itself since 1 of the 4 elevators was working throughout the duration of our trip. Upon asking for any accommodations, the front desk staff was rude and very unhelpful.

The room is good and little homeless people around but they didn’t bug us even though it was Kate at night. Didn’t like that the elevators are broken but one so it takes u a bit to go up or down. Coffee maker is broken. But locations isn’t bad. Not long walks.

1. 4 elevators and only one working on a weekend. The waits were long and getting up or down was a challenge to say the least! 2. The valet text service was useless and never worked no matter what phone number we gave. 3. Uncontrolled people in the halls drunk and screaming, slamming doors etc all night and I mean all night, no security, nobody stopped any of it. 4. No coffee in the room, just tea. 5. No coffee in the lobby area at all 6. Homeless people defacating just outside the hotel lobby. Austin has become a cesspool and this hotel was nowhere near a Hilton Hotel experience. Never coming back. -0 rating
