The Code Hotel
Gorgeous hotel and central location for us. Staff was nice. However, there was a lot of construction and painting going on and unfinished things in the hotel.. no hot tub.

Omni Austin Hotel
The restaurant closes too early, especially on big UT event nights, like graduation and parents weekend. I think 11 p.m. is more reasonable - 10 p.m. is not late enough. I did not care for your coffee. But everything else is great and I would return and highly recommend. Amazing staff!
