Hotels near Northeast Metropolitan Park, Travis County

It’s a little far from downtown but very convenient to the highway, so it’s not a dealbreaker. Super clean. Price was right.

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.

Attempted to check in after we received the room ready alert via app but the front desk acted like they didn't have any rooms ready before 3pm though we eventually got in. The hotel itself it brand new, very nice, and very clean. Hotel looks to be in an area that is being built up with newer hotels. Later that night came back from dinner to find the front desk sitting in the lobby eating dinner, didn't look very professional and felt like you'd be bothering him to ask anything. I called down later that night to ask about the airport shuttle. Whoever answered was not very informative at all. Just said we have one, it runs 24 hours. I then had to ask well how often, do we just show up? All we were told was it runs every 30 minutes. Okay perfect, get downstairs for the 3:30a shuttle and we are told ”oh you had to sign up for this last night, the shuttle drive just left for his 30 minute break.” Why didn't we get told this when I called the desk the night before? We moved from a downtown hotel to the airport to be able to get shuttled. We ended up having to order an Uber. They offered to try calling sister hotels but there was no guarantee. I would probably try this hotel again but there are definitely some improvements that need to be made.

The staff is exemplary: both Rose and Patricia took care of my transportation needs from and to the airport. The service is a breeze as you need to have a Smartphone and be able to use Lyft, the ride sharing service. They take care of that for you. Breakfast was very quick after you fill out the order, and the attendant will have that ready for you in no time. I stayed in room 301 during my stay and it was very clean and had no issues with the bed or internet. There are plenty of channels to choose from on the television. Servicing of the room is on-request only. I did ask for the hotel to be serviced on Sunday, but the housekeeper did not come by. I realized that it was Super Bowl Sunday, and most likely had to get home to watch it. There is a small refrigerator in the room, which is always handy and convenient. I did order food from one of the local restaurants, and the driver did leave it at the front desk without amy problems. i had a few issues with billing, but the staff resolved them then and there; no need to wait for the general manager. The staff is empowered to make your stay comfortable. Property cleanliness in and around the elevator in the evening hours were ok; some debris in the elevator when I returned to the hotel on Sunday night, but other than that, it is a clean hotel. Although I did not drive during my stay, there was ample parking in the lot with designated ”Diamond member” parking near the entrance. I will definitely return and stay because the staff (Rose and Patricia) is friendly and professional.

We pulled in about 2:00 am. We were tired and pleased to find a place near the airport at a reasonable rate. Our plan was to relocate to a better/different place in the morning. It turned out that the staff and facility were so good, we extended our stay for a few more days. A huge THANK YOU to the staff at the Wyndham Airport location. A great value because of the great staff!

We only stayed one night before an early flight but I would absolutely make this my hotel for any length of time in Austin. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant is actually open and the food was very good, although choices are limited and service seemed way more focused on talking to folks seated at the bar. The room was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. Beds were as comfortable as the ones at more expensive hotels and the pillows and sheets were soft and clean. Bathroom toiletries were great and towels were really nice. Our room even had a separate seating area, so we not only had two beds we had two tvs and a small sofa. The pool looked nice as did the exercise room. All for an extremely reasonable price. It was a great relaxing way to end what had been a very long trip.

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.
