Omni Austin Hotel
The staff was great. It was the marathon weekend, so it was pretty crowded, but the service was exceptional. Room was very nice and the rooftop pool another perk.

citizenM Austin Downtown
Rooms are smaaaall, as economy cruise ship small. Beds are hard. No top sheets. No wash cloths in the room. I requested to change rooms… not possible. I requested to cancel my additional 2 nights and they had no problem with that. “Weird” approach to customer service
