The hotel itself is great. The staff is great. The location is perfect if you are looking to party and see the nightlife in Austin. BUT... I didn't expect to have to pay an additional $55.00 per vehicle, per night for parking. Maybe I'm naive, but when i pay a couple hundred a night for a room, i expect to be able to park my car cheaper than that.

The staff was very friendly but the room was right on top of an ally filled with dumpsters that were picked up by a dump truck daily at 3 am. Super noisy. The hotel was not full at all so we are disappoint they woken put us in such an unsavory room.
