citizenM Austin Downtown
The staff at the check-in table were great, but the rest of the experience at this hotel feels like half the room and amenities for full price. Even the nice rooftop bar/pool was cramped.

Shower hot water hard to find. Slamming doors all night kept us awake (our end of the hall 4th floor room was next to garage door elevator). Workers very pleasant. Bartenders great.
