Terrible service. Room was not what we had reserved. They didn’t care. Told us to go or another hotel. Never going back to a Westin.

Pros. The location was perfect and right in the middle of downtown hotspots.

Cons. The hotel and rooms were nice. Loved the decor of the hotel and rooms. The valet service was wonderful. My wife and I will visit this hotel more often for a get away and we live 25 miles south of Austin.

Pros. Can't beat the location. The staff were on top of it. Rooms were comfy and clean. All in all, I'd definitely stay again.

Cons. Our room, 1927, was directly under the gym, and we could hear the dropping of weights. The pool area was a really nice rooftop pool but was super crowded- a little too small for a hotel this size.

Pros. The Westin is in a great location especially if you're thinking of partaking in Austin's nightlife. Accommodations were top-notch. Alessandra at the front desk was extremely helpful and polite.
