Modern and clean hotel,what else can you ask for.And it's dog friendly and no pet fee unless your dog is over 60lbs.They carry bliss products which is nice.Parking and wifi is also included . The location is perfect Whole foods is walking distance(and let me tell you the best whole foods I've ever seen),walking distance from all the shops(neiman Marcus etc) all the restaurants and party scene is there. It did get a little loud,you can hear absolutely everything,but other than that no complains here. read more

First time ever in Austin, TX so we decided to rent a room at Aloft. The room itself is about right for what you pay for. I did note a few oddities that other people have already touched upon such as the AC unit. The floor mats in the elevator are totally cool though. read more

Decent Location, but worst customer service. I found the management, particularly Travis Sparks, is not focused on customer service nor could care if any of the guests ever came back. In all my years of travel, I have never met management that was really rude to customers, especially at Starwood. Will never stay here again. read more

Simple no frills hotel. Would have been fine except that they advertised high speed internet. See picture. This internet is a sham. I would have picked a different place if I had known it wouldn't work. So spotty. And the TVs don't have anything except basic channels. And no movies. The internet is the biggest disappointment. Show stopper. I had to tether my phone just to get online. read more

Aloft by Marriott Austin at The Domain - Hotels Near Me - Austin, Texas

Giving Aloft two stars for their sales, bookings, wedding block, hotel block side of the business. I've left numerous messages for their Director of Sales over the past two weeks and not once have I heard back. Very poor service. So many other good hotels to choose from, including right by the Domain. My wedding party guests will surely be staying elsewhere. read more

I wanted so very much to love my hotel as much as I loved the rest of the city...unfortunately, I felt like I was staying in an Ikea nightmare. If that's your thing...awesome go for it, but it sure isn't mine! The hotel consisted of rooms, a very small bar and these weird high school cafeteria-ish store. No restaurant or anything. Even the room service was from across the street. And the pool.... *sigh. When staying in a place that's 100+ degrees, I would think a decent pool would be a must...their pool however was 2 feet deep...the entire way across (which wasn't much I might add). Safe for the kiddies?? Absolutely...enjoyable for everyone else?? Not so much. Definitely would not go back here. read more

By far the WORST hotel experience I have ever had in my life. In one trip I managed to get TWO disgusting rooms. My reservation for two beds was not available and my business partner and I were given a room with one bed. Obviously we could not share a bed (not HR compliant) so we requested a roll-away bed. We were given an AIR MATTRESS with blankets that looked at least 15 years old. To top it off the first folded towel I grabbed off the rack to dry myself off after my shower had a big red BLOOD STAIN on it. The next day I checked availability for a new room and was asked "well did you already use anything in the other room?" OF COURSE I used things in the other room....I slept there the previous night!! The front-desk agent walked me to a new room with two beds. I was relieved that my next two nights might actually be nice. WRONG. After I got ready for bed, I pulled the covers back on my bed to get in and the comforter had a HUGE RED/BROWN stain on it. I have no idea how anyone cleaning the room could possibly miss that, but it was clearly either a blood or shit stain. My experience was completely ridiculous! read more

I so could not wait to write this review! My boyfriend and I decided to have a little romantic getaway weekend to see the most magnificent and sublime Guy Forsythe and decided on the Aloft, as we loved the photos of the lobby, the rooms, and the pool area and the idea of walking to restaurants, bars and shopping! Upon check-in on Friday night, the front desk gentleman (I am so sorry! I do not recall his name and failed to write it down!) treated us as if we were royalty. When asked if he could recommend a restaurant not yet teeming with other folks and where we would be able to hear each other, as we are on the older side of dirt, he suggested we hit up Thai-Kun! Oh, dear Heavens, the prawns had been marinated with the tears of the Baby Jesus, they were! And we were able to ogle and flirt with each other much to the delight of the wait staff! The next morning the boyfriend was hanging with his dudes and doing really dudely stuff, so I thought I would have breakfast, maybe do a bit of shopping and lay out by the pool and drink copious amounts of adult beverages so not to subject myself to, you know, dudes! The lovely Taylor and Ange were manning the front desk and when asked where I could possibly get a Bloody Mary with my breakfast at that unGodly Saturday morning hour, they got on the phone and found me just such a spot a block down! God bless 'em! Walked my ass down the block, got my first Mary and cup o' joe and decided to do a bit of people watching! The restaurant was steadily getting more and more crowded by a group of, quite frankly, short statured, very handsome but arrogant young men! I actually overheard one of them say at the table next to me, "God, baseball is the stupidest." I kid you not. Once they had gotten up to leave, I asked my lovely waitress (whose name shall remain nameless) who these fine, upstanding young men were. She rolled her eyes and said, "They're hockey players and stay here all the time. They're the dumbest bunch of jerks!" At right about this same time, a young man comes stomping back into the restaurant, jabs his finger at a waiter and shouts in front of the whole damned joint, "Have you found my credit card yet, asshole?!" The waiter states he has never seen the gentleman's credit card. The kind young man rants that everybody here is so stupid and that they better g**damned well find his card and that he has to get on the bus now. I felt so bad for the waiter and called him over to console him and for him to shake it off. He laughs and says the only card presented from said gentleman was a room card. Couldn't wait to get back to Aloft and tell Taylor and Ange about the great adventure on which they had sent me! They were shocked that hockey players were so short! I said, "I KNOW (Monica Gellar emphasis added!)! They are the best front desk staff evah, they are! When I asked if they could call me a taxi to take me to the nearest convenience store, they directed me to walk in the opposite direction to Whole Foods! Got to Whole Foods and was admiring and touching and squeezing and smelling all of the lovely produce when what comes over the loud speakers but Moris Day and the Time's "Jungle Love!" Well, what's an old gal to do but flap her arms and sing along, eliciting chuckles from the produce department! The woman nearest me slowly pulled her shopping cart backwards away from me. I disappointedly thought, "Hmm. When I was young, I most likely would have done the exact same thing." And then I thought, "Hell no! I'd have flapped my arms right along with that old bat!" I mean, really?! It's Morris Day and the damned Time! How can you NOT dance in Whole Foods, I ask you? Grabbed my pool beer and left! Couldn't wait to get back to Aloft and tell Taylor and Ange about the musical grocery adventure on which they had sent me! They giggled and were appropriately shocked and outraged at the lovely shopping cart woman's reaction to flapping arms and sing-a-long! They asked my last name and remembered it! Upon checkout the next day, Taylor told my boyfriend, "Ms. N is so very sweet. Please take good care of her!" The room was amazing with this frosted glass between the shower and bedroom for making artsy light shows to amaze and delight your Instagram friends! The beds and pillows were divine! The AC was so God blessedly cold for the hormonally challenged! The lovely ladies who replaced the pool towels were delightful! And Taylor and Ange and, I'm quite sure, the rest of the front desk staff will do everything in their power to ensure your stay is the most fun, the quirkiest, the sexiest, the most invigorating, the most recharging experience ever. This was not a chain hotel stay. Thanks, guys! read more

Aloft Austin at the Domain is simplistic, yet sleek and modern. Very friendly front desk and valet parking staff made the visit that much more pleasant. Housekeeping did a great job and you couldn't find a better location....easy to navigate in and out, plenty to do (shopping, food, nightlife.) I'd stay again at this place in a heartbeat! Keep up the great work! read more

An Aloft is an Aloft is an Aloft. If you've stayed at one you've stayed at them all. It's a great economy concept, but just make sure you want to stay at The Domain since it is not in the downtown area! The map we looked at made it seem much closer, but it didn't really harm us that much in the end. read more

Well I came to this hotel for the weekend and was pleased with it until I noticed that the house keeping crew does not actually change bed linens like they should. It was a card in my room that said if you would like fresh towels and linens place this on bed, which I did and my whole stay here all they did was make the bed . I know this for a fact because the same little spot that was on my bed sheet on day one was still there on day 4 when I checked out. I'm not really sure how you can hold $100.00 for incidentals but not even change the bed linens in the room. So this has really changed my mind about picking this hotel as a place to stay in the future. read more

If modern house builders used space as efficiently as the designers of Aloft mansions would be no more than 2000 sq. feet. Overall an excellent boutique hotel. read more

Very snazzy hotel, good ambiance. Rooms are hip and accommodating, this particular location has thin walls for you love makers who are conscious of eavesdropping. Also, toilet paper is thin. Overall, great hotel, easy check in. read more

Make sure you know what you're signing up for! This hotel is the budget offering from the Starwood group, so there is no restaurant, nor hot meals offered; they do have "in-room dining" from a nearby restaurant, but the food was awful and came with no cutlery, condiments, not even napkins! If you stay on the street-side of the hotel, be aware that there is a patio bar that gets very loud at night and will make it difficult to sleep. The room itself was fine, the overall experience was ok, but I'm not sure I'd return... read more

The hotel room was very clean. This was definitely a plus. However there were a few critical things that made the stay miserable. 1. My room was on the opposite side of the hotel as the bar and up on the 4th floor. From 7 am until midnight there is the "boom-boom-boom" of bass that is inescapable in the hotel room. This is similar to pulling up to a light next to a car with the music on too loud. 2. On my first night here there was a fire at 10 PM! The second floor had an electrical fire. Okay, those things happen....I guess. We were outside for about 40 minutes and no one let us know what was going on. Finally a staff member came out and only told 2 small groups that it was okay to return the rooms. I guess she assumed those 8 people would tell the rest of us? Even after the other guests told us we could all go in, there was no clear communication from the staff that the problem was taken care of or that we were safe. Customer Service was extremely lacking, especially during a time like this. There was never any apologies for the inconvenience or even checking on us to make sure we were okay. 3. The walls are so thin that anyone walking down the hall talking, sounds like they are walking through your room. It is also possible to hear toilets flushing and showers running in all of the rooms around you. 4. There are two elevators, but for the 3 nights I was here, only one was working. It took a good 5+ minutes for the one working elevator to finally get to you. Not a terrible thing, unless you go to your room and your key is suddenly not working. Having to wait for the elevator 3 times made the one working elevator seem even worse after an already very long day. 5. There is a window unit AC that was really loud. Although, it did help to drown out the sound of the "boom-boom-boom" from the loud music. I doubt I would be willing to deal with the loud music again. This is really a great place for the early 20 somethings that don't need to actually sleep. For anyone else who is looking for some extra rest and relaxation... this wouldn't be my first pick. read more

This was our first stay at an Aloft and I would definitely stay again. The rate was very reasonable, and the hotel is very hip. We were really just there to sleep as we were busy all day, went out that night, and left the next morning, but I thought the large shower and funky room were just fine. Also, this particular hotel is in a great location, I'd stay here again and leave time for shopping and eating at the Domain. read more

Stayed here over NYE 2016 holiday weekend and it was the perfect place for a little getaway. I loved the location of Aloft. We were within walking distance of everything we needed (restaurants, spa, shopping, bars). I've stayed at the Westin and Aloft here at the Domain and I prefer Aloft's location better than the W's. I feel like it's closer to the shopping strip and the parking garage is pretty convenient too. The only thing missing from Aloft is a dining area for a nice breakfast. The rooms were clean, our chamber-maids were polite and did a decent job making up the rooms each day. The good thing at Aloft is that if you choose to "go green" they give you a $5.00 credit to use towards the bar downstairs. Not a bad deal if you don't mind using your towel again. We stayed on the 6th floor a little ways down the hall from the elevators, and did not find it noisy at all. The only thing "noisy" was a crying baby a few rooms down.... If you stay in a room facing Neiman Marcus, the club downstairs ("innovative cocktails" or whatever) can get a little noisy once the clock strikes 2am and people are leaving the bar. We are pretty heavy sleepers though so it didn't really affect us. Overall, this place was more on the pricier side of hotels (I recommend booking through Expedia or something of the sort), but the location and staff made our stay pleasant. Did I mention the gym is open 24hrs? That was a huge plus for us as we tried to shed some of our holiday "food babies!" read more

Loud, loud, loud. The walls are paper thin. We had fights going on near our room and when we called we were told the police were already there, but they were not. The yelling and actual physical fighting continued until after 3am. No help at all from the desk. The next day we were moved to a different floor with no assistance offered or comp for being lied to by the desk. If you are a 20 something stay here. If you are an actual adult go elsewhere. read more

Location was only good thing. Beds are terribly uncomfortable. Loud hallways hearing doors slam. Front desk unfriendly. I will never stay there again. Rooms are very tiny. read more

I understand the other complaints, truly I do. But this hotel chain just speaks to me. I love the room layout--compact, efficient, spare. (So much unlike my own full-of-needless-junk life!) Yes, the rooms are small, but they're just fine for two. My wife and I met a friend downstairs for drinks one night. The bar wasn't too busy, so the bartender was attentive. Happy hour prices made the egregiously expensive draft beer ($12!) a little more tolerable, and no one said boo about us bringing in outside snacks. The whole vibe is, "Yeah, cool, whatever." I'm knocking one star off because the view from the room is either a parking structure or one under construction (circa March 2015). Otherwise, another nice execution of the Aloft plan. read more

My husband was assigned to a project in Austin. And we chose to stay in Aloft. What a great decision !! We are here for a month and I couldn't wait till the end of our stay to write a review. The front desk people are awesome. Especially Ange, Will and Luis. They are so helpful and super nice. They go out of their way to help. I strongly recommend this place to anyone. Also location of this hotel is amazing with tons of shops and restaurants, yoga studio etc. Thank you Ange, Will and Luis you guys make us feel at home. read more

HORRIBLE staff, unprofessional and green. We and others have Investigations open into fraudulent charges on our bill. We will boycott all Starwood hotels until issues are resolved. read more

Aloft is known for catering to the business traveler and for good reason. Fast and friendly service each and every stay. Very close proximity to the Domain,which means you can walk across the street and shop TIL you drop. Rooms are always clean and have all the comforts of home. Hotel is generally very quiet which makes it ideal to sleep in. Parking has recently changed due to Nordstrom construction close by which means you no longer have the ability to self park, but that's ok....I like valet anyway. One extra effort of hospitality I have to recognize here... This morning I needed my car before 6am (valet does not open until 6am) and the front desk clerk literally took the keys and personally escorted me to my car,which was a 5 min walk away. Bravo. read more

Very modern, very Scandinavian in design. Rooms are comfortable, staff is friendly, but what prevents me from giving this place a higher rating is the nasty slimy shower floor! I swear the corners had algae or bacteria colonies! I just happened to have tilex in my car from recently shopping, and I sprayed the crap out of it. Otherwise, this hotel would be a better place and better rated. read more

Trendy and affordable! We just stayed there last weekend and it was awesome. The price was very reasonable and the place had a great vibe to it. No charges for small dogs and the service was fantastic. I will definately be staying here again. read more

Hotel is trash. Employees dont know anything when an issue arises. Used the safe to hold my belongings while I was out thinking it was a wise choice. Opened and closed the safe a few time before heading out just to make sure it worked. Came back later in the day only to find my code "0000" no longer worked. Called front desk and they said someone would be right up. After 30mins of noone showing up I went down to complain and the guy tells me he can come check it out but wouldnt be able to do any thing. "HUH?!" I asked for the manager and they told me manager wasnt there. Basically it was a shit show. So I'm currently in my hotel room enjoying the town waiting for someone to arrive and open this broken safe. Good job alot hotel in the domain. The westin sounds pretty good right about now. read more

Went attempted to check in 1/27/17, had booked a room with 2 beds and got 1 instead. There was no apology, no attempt to ameliorate he situation, no solutions. The front desk individuals were very short and unapologetic, furthermore they seemed uninterested and rude. The room they attempted to give us was tiny with only a bench sofa. Thanks to their customer service, they will never have my business again. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I've stayed here long term twice - once with a dog and once without, and it has been nothing but good experiences. The location is amazing and convenient, and the staff has never given me or my dog any trouble. My dog is pretty quiet and well behaved, so nothing really happened there. I appreciate there's no extra charge for the dog (the Marriott charges you $100 per stay), so it's my hotel of choice in the Domain, as it's close to parking and one of the cheapest. read more

I'm writing this to inform you about my unpleasant experience with the ALoft hotel and its staff after a 24-hour flight. My travel was coordinated by my company Travel department. Aloft is on my company's preferred list of hotels and normally I have great experiences with the Starwood Hotels. I'm flying from Singapore with a connection in Detroit which I missed. So I finally reach my final destination which is Austin Tx. I get to the Aloft EXHAUSTED. All I wanted to do was check into my room to rest and shower. Here's where the nightmare begins. The below experience is my first 30 minutes in your hotel. It didn't set the best tone. Not sure if I'll ever use Aloft again. I travel a lot for work and I don't want to deal with this again. I arrived at Aloft to check in around 11.30 am on 7/17/2017 after sleeping in the Airport in Detroit. Your rep runs my credit card and it didn't go through. I'm not sure why it's not going through. The Agent asked me if I told my bank that I was abroad because it is very possible that I cannot use my credit card more than 2 times in a foreign country and this was the 3 time (funny assumption though) She asked for another card then. I'm not quite sure where she came up with this number. I explained that I did not have another card and that I was coming from Singapore and that if I had to call my bank, I had to wait because it was probably closed as it was 1230am in Singapore. There's a 13 hour time difference, hence why I am jet lagged and tired. I just wanted to rest. The Agent told me "Let me talk to my Manager." After a minute, she came back and told me that my bank should have a 24h service so I should call my bank right now to figure it out because they wouldn't let me check in without a credit card authorization confirmed. They tried to help me call the bank phone number I gave them but it never went through. When I used my personal device, it went through and the automatic voice response said that the bank office closed at 8.30 pm, which confirmed my initial assumption. I explained that I was coming with Apple and that it was a matter of a few hours so I can fix this. I said that it was upsetting that they did not let me check in considering I was not a random customer as I used the Apple travel platform to book the hotel. Again Aloft is on the Apple preferred list. The Agent went to her manager again. With the agent going to talk to the manager prior why wouldn't the manager come and discuss this issue with me? The Manager FINALLY came and graced me with her appearance and confirmed they did want to let me check in, but she couldn't make an exception. She asked me if someone could come over to give their card. I said that I was not going to make my colleague come over here because this is not convenient. The Manager basically told me there wasn't anything she could do. I guess with me traveling with my company I would trash the room or possibly steal something. I'm not sure what she thought I would do to the room. I offered to give $100 in cash as a show of good faith. I was tired and just wanted to shower. The Manager told me again that my $100 of good faith money wasn't enough to cover the room... (what could happen seriously??) She asked me if I could call a colleague so they could send an e-form via email and my colleague could fill in her credit card details. I did call my colleague, explained the situation to her and told her this was shocking. The Manager made a facial expression showing that she was obviously annoyed by my comment... (not very professional. The manager then left me with the front line agent. I feel she should have taken the situation over to help. I suppose she was done with me. I gave my colleague's email to the Agent so she can send the form to my colleague, the Agent left and left me with another Agent and my colleague fixed this. I could finally check in after 30 min of a very bad experience. At night, when I called my bank, my bank told me that everything was fine on my end and they could see the reason code "system malfunction" which means it was actually a system malfunction on the Hotel end!! Hence, I struggled to check in, I felt mistrusted and was put in a very embarrassing and frustrating situation because of the Hotel issue. This is unacceptable. read more

Great location in the Domain, clean rooms, comfortable beds and great showers! The only negative about this place is the parking is not covered and a crowded since it is shared with a neighboring restaurant. Overall, great place to stay though! read more

As my sister said... I am in love. As I arrived, the people working there greeted me with smiles and asked me how my flight was! My sister said that I'll be coming in with a puppy, and they gave her a bed, two bowls, two balls, and poop bags for the Tiny creature. Whenever we would leave the hotel in the morning, they would make sure to send someone to clean the room while we were out to make sure that our room was made up while the pup was gone! They have a 24 hour snack shop with SALADS and complimentary tea. They have a FULL bar in the lobby. There's the coolest mixology bar literally next door (with key lime, banana, peach, etc jello shots) and grand mariner molecular caviar. Did I mention that the people that work there are super nice? Yes, they only have valet parking right now, but it's complimentary. Because the parking structure is being renovated. You're welcome. And my sister did say that they apologized for the inconvenience as she was checking in. There's an upscale, dog friendly shopping center with Neiman Marcus located 5 minutes away (walking). There's the Steeping Room in that shopping center, also walking distance. There's a Whole Foods, also, walking distance. There's a mini fridge in the room! The rooms are big, and new! Good work! Don't have a single complaint! read more

I've stayed here on two separate occasions while visiting Austin. You can park for free across the street in the parking garage and checking in is easy breezy. They are a pet friendly hotel so don't leave your four-legged friends at home! The rooms are nice, beds are comfortable, water pressure is good, so no complaints there. They even offer you food/water bowls for your pets. Bliss Spa brand toiletries are provided and there's a coffee maker/coffee in every room. The reason why I like staying here when visiting Austin is because it's close enough to downtown to drive to for the nightlife activities, yet far enough to avoid having to pay for parking, drunks, and the noise. There's a lot of shopping opportunities at The Domain and it's a great area to have Sunday breakfast before commuting back to Houston. read more

The Aloft Austin at The Domain is of course at The Domain which is a very upscale shopping center in North Austin. The hotel isn't any different than any other aloft-- great service, modern decor, and staff as always, the rooms are a decent size too. I stayed here during SXSW weekend so the hotel was busy and I was always in and out. The Park restaurant located on the ground floor of the hotel is busy on the weekends and offers great atmosphere of people as well as great food and drinks. The only downside to staying here is that you need a car if you plan on traveling downtown. Cabs can be a bit expensive to and from here. read more

The hotel is really trendy looking, SMALL pool. Snobby employees...Booked our reservation a month in advance for the weekend of June 13th. It was a double couple 1 room each. We called in to let them know we'd have a late check in, we show up still in our swim suits from spending the day at the lake. The check in lady was EXTREMELY rude an snobby to me an my cousin-inlaw. She couldn't find our reservations even tho we showed her an email. It was a misunderstanding. I could feel her looking at us up & down. Room was really nice & clean fresh towels, nice A/C bed & pillows weren't too bad. The rooms are small. Not spacious. An yes there is construction so they offer free valet. Which is not bad! I was looking forward getting into the pool on Sunday. WORST POOL EVER SUPER SMALL and the WHOLE POOL IS 2ft across the whole thing. It's like a pool for kids.. I don't think I'd stay here again it's kind of pricey per night, I didn't feel welcomed from the beginning just made me feel uncomfortable. read more

Great location next to premium shops perfect hotel for business travel clean and comfortable. I will stay here any time I'm in Austin.

Nice hotel, nice accommodations, friendly staff; however, it was very loud due to the restaurant and bar below the hotel, especially on a Friday night. If you are going to stay here, be sure to ask for a room away from the restaurant and bar. With that being said, Somersault is a cool place to get a fancy drink. There was also noise from a nearby industrial complex that made it difficult for us to sleep. read more

Went here for a work conference and the bathroom sliding door was in such a state that it fell off the top hinge and didn't slide closed. Also, the door was warped so it did not close leaving a gap. Notified front desk on a few occasions to no response. Do not go here with a coworker, if you have to share a room. Zero privacy in room bathroom and left here wondering why we had booked this hotel at all. read more

Great hotel, clean hotel. Loved the pet friendly environment and very close to lots of great Domain shops! At check in, Grace was amazing! Her knowledge of the Domain area and directions were priceless and made our stay so much easier. If you go, and don't know the Domain area - ask for Grace :) read more
