All the staff were very polite and positive. There was a young maintenance guy walking the hall very cheerful and polite didn't catch his name, and a lady Chante at the front desk, You could tell she loved her job and was such a joy during check in. You don't find that so much with younger people these days. Over all the rooms and the hotel were very well maintained and clean and that will be my hotel of choice on my next work trip to Austin.
Our stay was very nice. Stuff is nice and friendly, breakfast was great and restock till the last minute, free drinks and snacks at the bar 5:30-7 was so good. All our requests were answered promptly.
The hospitality was above and beyond. The buffet breakfast was top notch. The exercise room had a bit of everything. We would stay here again in a heart beat!!!
Parking garage is not attached and there is only 1 handicap. The food bar was really good as the standard Embassy experience. Hot food. However, the omelet line had only one person so there was a long line to wait.
The room was very nice and comfortable. The breakfast excellent and the staff very helpful. We liked that lite snacks and drinks were included at no cost during the evenings.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by courteous staff, making check-in seamless and welcoming.
Convenient onsite parking was a definite plus, although it came at a cost of $350 for our four-day stay.
The complimentary continental breakfast was made even more enjoyable by the friendly and attentive staff, whose hospitality elevated an already pleasant experience.
The evening cocktail hour was, as always, a refreshing way to unwind after a day of exploring Austin.
Overall, I highly recommend staying at Embassy Suites when visiting Austin. Between the exceptional service, comfortable accommodations, and thoughtful amenities, I would absolutely book here again given the opportunity.
Awesome place, walking distance to concert venue! Breakfast was nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great Stay

Staff at check in very polite, area clean.
Rooms clean, awesome breakfast, especially staff at omelette station.
Downside is the parking garage, definitely affected overall rate. Was told that elevators not working as of recently but I stayed at this location approx 3 years ago and had same issue! The stairway is dark and scary, had two children with me. Prioritize repairing at least one of the elevators, in meantime al least add good lighting to stairway.
The breakfast was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The only complaints I have were the bed pillows and the towels. The bed pillows seemed old and the towels were not soft at all. Overall it was a good experience
Beautiful room on 9th floor with view of Lake and downtown. Great staff. Elevators slow and Hotel could use a remodel a bit dated. But great price and staff. And close to Sixth Avenue
