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.

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.

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.
