Barton Creek Hotels & Accommodations

In the words of Bette Davis, “What a Dump.” In its favor, we had a nice view of Lady Bird Lake from our window, which was pretty to wake up to, and the water pressure in the shower was great! The bathroom seemed partially updated and was pretty decent. Free parking, too. There were a few HBO channels on tv. However, the hotel is very dated and not very clean looking. The indoor parking garage was filthy and was dimly lit. Didn’t feel very safe in there, so we parked in the outside lot whenever possible. No greeting from the night time desk clerk when we came back from dinner, as she seemed to purposely be avoiding eye contact with us (she wasn’t on the phone or busy with someone else). The elevators were very smudgy and too dark, also. The beds slumped a bit in the middle, the linens were old and tired looking, and the chair in the corner looked worse than some I’ve put by the curb. An old leak on the ceiling was poorly patched up, and there were stains on the desk chair, carpet and walls. The door to the adjoining room didn’t provide enough sound proofing, as I heard our neighbor’s phone convo loud and clear. The pool area didn’t look very inviting, as there were no umbrellas or trees to block the strong sun. We wanted to stay in downtown Austin to be within walking distance to things, so this was the least expensive option. But not much could be walked to from there, and the area it was in was a bit sketchy, so we ended up taking Ubers, anyway. We had booked our last night at a hotel in the Arboretum area, because this one went up to a ridiculously high amount for Friday night (music festival in town), and it ended up being just as convenient to take an Uber from there (15-20 mins) to downtown. Plus, the hotel was much nicer and way less expensive. Live and learn.

The hotel staff were extremely helpful whenever I needed information. The complementary breakfast served in the mornings was a lifesaver and included in the cost of the room, not an add-on and with lots of choice, like scrambled eggs, sausage patties, pancakes, cereal, etc. The bed was very comfy and the 3rd floor room was very quiet. The water was nice and hot when taking a shower with lots of water pressure. The hotel room included a fridge, microwave oven, Keurig machine and a comfy couch. Bathroom included towels and all the little things like soap, shampoo, etc. This hotel is very close (About a $12 cab ride) to the Via Fortuna office complex. About a $45 cab ride from the airport. Room rate was reasonable considering I got a single king sized bed and a large room. The hotel room was very clean. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay 100% it’s very welcoming and cozy. Everyone there is very professional. We really enjoyed ourselves. The only down fall is that the resort is literally located in the middle of nowhere so if you want to go and eat somewhere nice or grab something fast to eat you will have to go to Austin which is 30 mins away. Just wish things were a little closer but other than that no complaints. Rooms are very clean and the balcony view is unbelievable. Would definitely book again.

First I’ll say that the older man at the front desk was wonderful. He was so helpful and kind and was able to get me very early check-in which ended up saving my goose for the day and enabled me to get some sleep when I really needed it. The lobby is beautiful but unfortunately the room itself was just not. The bathroom was very small and tight and just felt a little off. The thermostat in the bedroom was broken and because of that it was very muggy in the room for my whole stay. The room had a strong musty smell and the sheets felt off somehow. Very rough and stiff. The remote was under the bed when I arrived which made me suspicious so I just left it there. It definitely didn’t seem to have been cleaned between visitors. The carpet could definitely use a deep cleaning. Lots of marks and paint chips on the walls. No overhead light in the room but several lamps. I took a nap and then woke up to find a cluster of black hair in the sheets. I am a platinum blonde so this was disturbing to me. Then as I was heading out for the day, I noticed a small bug in my hair. I ended up going to a friend’s house in the city to take a hot shower because the bathroom was, as I said, very narrow and small. After the hair in the sheets, I ended up opting to just sleep at the friend’s house because I was so grossed out. It was amazing to be able to check in so early and have a safe place to nap, but for $245 for a night, it was definitely not what I’d hoped for, especially for a Hilton.

Nice and new. Really lovely room and breakfast was good. Wonderful location off Hwy 620 near 71 West / Bee Cave / Hill Country Galleria. Downside : I booked and paid for my room through Trip app and several days after my stay Springhill charged the credit card number I gave them for incidentals to charge me for the room I had already paid for! Not cool. I travel quite a bit and use third part apps all the time and have never had this happen before with any hotels. I may? stay there again but I’m certainly going to keep an eye out for this. The only reason I caught it so quickly is because I have notifications set to text me anytime there is a charge to this credit card. Good thing.

The Hyatt Place Austin/Arboretum was surprisingly nice and comfortable. It was so much better than the nearby Hyatt House. The room was big and the bathroom had lots of counter space and amenities. The room was a suite with microwave, and living area and the TV was very large and swiveled, so it could be viewed from both the living room and bed. Everything worked well and I have no complaints. Breakfast was better than many other brands' free breakfast, although still limited, which is to be expected. The parking was free and the location was excellent. Easy to get onto Hwy 1 and head to downtown and close to the Domain and other shopping centers.
