We checked in on the Christmas Eve. The house is recently renovated with spacious bedrooms. The beds are firm, which we like it. The shower place is huge and clean. However, the towels and room area rugs look a bit outdated. The kitchen utensils can be upgraded and better organized. Here are the areas definitely...

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Austin Marriott Downtown was exceptional from start to finish. We were greeted with a warm welcome and graciously accommodated with an early check-in several hours ahead of schedule, which was such a thoughtful touch. We were also provided with a $50 daily breakfast credit, which more than covered two entrees, drinks, and snacks. The breakfast itself was outstanding, with an excellent à la carte selection and attentive, friendly service. Our room was modern, spacious, and comfortable, with a polished feel that made our stay all the more enjoyable. Although there was construction next to the hotel, we were on a higher floor and experienced no disruption from the noise. Overall, the hospitality, thoughtful amenities, and quality of service made for a wonderful stay. We would absolutely recommend the Austin Marriott Downtown and would happily return on our next visit to Austin."

"Stayed 5 days. Location is the selling point, as we wanted the walkability and we got it. The hotel is old, but they make the effort to keep it clean. The staff was wonderful without exception. The free parking was convenient and easy to use. The bathroom had been updated to a walk in shower, which was fine - but the floor tiles in front of the toilet weren't attached. I expect the floor wasn't perfectly level when they did the remodel. Ceiling showed seams in drywall from expansion/moisture. Windows overlooking the lake were FILTHY - made it hard to justify the extra expense for the top floor with a lake view. Room fridge and keurig worked fine. Could use an extra outlet at the desk - the light and the fridge/microwave were using both outlets, so the lamp got unplugged. Lamp did have usb charger outlet, which was nice."
