How to Get There
Reviews
I had to travel for work from out of town for 4 nights this past week. I normally travel to Austin every quarter of the year for work and personal reasons. Never had an issue with the Westin until now. I had issues accessing my room every time I tried. The electronic key wasn't working. I repeatedly went down to the front desk at different times throughout the day for help. Most times I ended up waiting outside my room door for an "engineer" to help me get into my room at least 40 minutes at a time. The engineer would change the battery and yes the door would work at that moment but hours later I would have the same problem. This was extremely inconvenient as I had appointments and meetings to get to at different times. This continued to happen throughout my stay. The last day I had enough after waiting 50 minutes outside my door, calling the front desk 3 times. Went down and asked for the Manager. I explained the situation to Pilar Villeneuve (Front desk manager). She didn't try to explain why this was happening and just kept saying she would comp my stay however since it was a work trip the charge has already gone through. Only thing she could do is give me a new key card. Sadly I will not be returning to this hotel. My company who had over 50 people staying at this hotel the same week will also be told about this.
We stayed for 3 nights here for a quick getaway. It is in the middle of downtown, which is nice as it is close to everything. I feel like housekeeping went above and beyond, organizing the room while we were away. Abraham was a great server in the restaurant, and his local knowledge was super helpful!
I loved the vibe at the Westin. The pool on the roof was especially amazing, perfect for a dip in the hot Austin weather. It’s perfectly situated in the center near everything. I had a nice view on the 12th floor and the gym was well equipped too.
