Excellent Gym Facility

“During my stay, I was really impressed by the gym. It is quite spacious and offers a variety of equipment to keep you motivated during your workouts. I appreciated having the choice of machines, even if I didn’t find my usual elliptical, I had plenty of alternatives to stay fit.” view full review

Trace Restaurant Delight

“I had a fantastic dining experience at Trace restaurant. The standout was Prometheus, who took really good care of us. He even remembered how I liked my coffee and served it before I had to ask. The atmosphere was inviting and the food was delicious! A definite highlight of my stay.” view full review

Valet Parking Convenience

“The valet parking service was incredibly helpful, especially when I discovered my car had a flat tire. They took immediate action to assist me, using an air compressor to inflate my tire enough to drive to a nearby shop. The quick response truly made a stressful situation much easier.” view full review

I had mixed feelings about my stay at W Austin. The location was excellent, with easy access to many restaurants, though the room I received didn't quite have the wow factor I was hoping for. The service could have been better-notably at the bars-while the cleanliness of the common areas was also a concern. Overall, it didn't meet my expectations for the price.

My stay at W Austin was a wild ride, especially with the unexpected snowpocalypse that had me extending my trip several times. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, though the room initially felt a bit dreary. An upgrade saved the day, giving me a beautiful corner suite with a great view, which really turned my experience around.

The upgrade to a corner suite was amazing, but the first room was a bit basic and dark. The bathroom not being separated from the living space was a minor inconvenience.

I had a mixed experience during my recent stay at W Austin. The location is fantastic and perfect for exploring downtown, but the overall service left a lot to be desired. While I appreciated the unique design of the hotel, my room was dimly lit and lacking some basic functionality, which made for an uncomfortable stay.

Rooms

The room had an interesting minimalist design but was dimly lit and the bed felt too hard for comfort. There were no functional drawers or sufficient space for personal items, and the overpriced snacks and beverages didn't help either.

Service

Check-in was pleasant thanks to Grayson, who upgraded my room. However, the overall service was lacking throughout my stay, especially at the bars where I had to call out for help. The reception staff also missed opportunities to be more informative.

The hotel's location next to The Moody Theater is excellent for concert-goers and easy access to downtown Austin's attractions, making it convenient for my plans.

Dining

While dining options were available, I found the room service to be unreasonably priced, making it hard to enjoy meals without feeling overcharged.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel facilities were decent, but I couldn't use the pool due to limited availability and a poorly managed waitlist. I expected more from the amenities given the rates.
