Called the day of and prior to this trip to line everything out then to have to personally switch out the pillows because of down allergies in the family after it was already on my reservation but was clearly...(- 1 star) Needless to say I have learned a valuable lesson. This hotel is old in my perspective. In NEED of a Reno if Marriott is the brand behind it. First the issues we encountered. -Down pillows on our bed at check in (serious down allergies in our family) thankfully dad checked and carries EpiPens -mold in the shower bath ( didn't call Down because I thought they would move us to smaller room and we were here for 3 days) -Mildew smell in the fridge storage cabinet. Probably from wood getting wet and not able to fully dry. (See pics) We had a short stay here to visit the area. Previously we stayed at Marriott nearby and Springhill. Chose this location due to indoor heated pool. The toddlers loved the sauna and my wife enjoyed the workout facility. The layout of the Jr suite comped upgrade suite was definitely appreciated. I almost got into the governors suite...but I would have been VERY disappointed to spend that kind of money for similar room issues. Breakfast was pretty decent at the Onion Creek Grille. Phenomenal service from Antonia should be commended!!! Tall African American gentleman in the gift shop should be commended . The room cleaning staff all very friendly and accommodating. The gigantic commons area and doesnt make anyone feel crammed. This hotel location is findable and surrounding area has quite a few food/entertainment via the highways. After a multiple short talks with Lauryn she calmed down my feelings that this happens all the time the pillows mishap..(She should be commended! She is the reason we didn't check out immediately after checking in... ) Lauryn Should be in upper management if not already... I wish her the best in her future endeavors! Somebody did call to say they would add some points to my account. Haven't seen them yet and don't know how many... But next time someone else gets out business. Overall this was similar to a star hotel.. so that's the best rating I can give for price vs experiences....

This is a nice hotel. I was surprised to find out that it is part of the Marriott brand. You can tell this used to be an extravagant hotel. It's not bad now, but some things are a little bit rundown. Overall, this is a lovely place. They have a beautiful large pool. The exercise room overlooks the pool area. They even have a sauna! My room is decent . It could use a remodel, but at least it was clean and comfortable. They closed down their restaurant for breakfast hours. Instead they offer a little breakfast bar within the market. The food was good and I enjoyed the coffee as well.

2 stars? 3 stars? Maybe somewhere in between. I arrived very late; my room was a corner on a high floor so maybe it was a bit bigger than other rooms. I had already checked in online so my mobile key was ready. Had a quick conversation with a very nice young man at the front desk before heading up to my room. The room was a bit musty and the carpet felt wet. Air conditioning was struggling. Found a long, black hair (not mine) on my "clean" shower towels. Thinking that this place could use a bit of an update. The lobby seemed nice enough but I didn't hang out nor check out any shops or restaurants on site. The area is a little confusing to get to as a tired tourist. Might consider staying elsewhere in the future.

HUGE COCKROACH

DO NOT STAY HERE. If I could give 0 stars, I would. By far the worst hotel experience I've had. HUGE cockroach crawled out of the drain the morning I was checking out. The room is old and musky. This hotel is disgusting. All the treadmills in the fitness center are broken and you slide on them when trying to walk. Apparently the only rooms they had available were adjoining. The ice machines on two different floors were broken. The staff is very polite but the hotel itself is run down, dirty, and apparently roach infested. The internet said this was a 4 star hotel prior to booking. Not even close!!!!

Although older and eclectic, our stay here was very comfortable. Some said it reminded them of casino decor, and that is probably a good way to describe it. We stayed 2 nights. Room was very clean and they came by to clean and replenish supplies just like in the "olden days"! I really appreciate that! Bed was comfortable, bathroom products very nice, lemony. Comfortable reading chair, desk, beverage fridge, iron (no board though), hair dryer. Interesting little sunken bar area in the lobby was always busy, and you could order food from the restaurant. We got jalapeño poppers, 8 for $15. Lots of cozy seating areas. Saturday night by the pool they set up an outdoor bar, and a private group had some dance music going. In the late afternoon they came by with a little cup of frozen grapes! So nice in the 100° heat. We found all the staff to be very friendly. Also enjoyed the fruit-infused water in the lobby. The hotel is in a park-like setting but unfortunately right by a freeway interchange so pretty noisy. Bring earplugs. Huge, meandering pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and workout room available. The restaurant seemed pricey so we didnt eat there. There's really nothing close by either, but folks order in or Uber out.

Chicken quesadilla at the bar

ACL fest always gets me excited for Austin! The not exciting part? the hotel prices. Finding the Omni on Expedia for $215 a night seems like a bargain compared to a lot of the downtown, SoCo, East Austin hotels which were easily going for $300-$450 a night. Gone are those days when I would splurge on hotels Just. Like. That. Love the amenities that come with this Omni -- especially the pool area. October in Austin still assures me 90 degree weather and a refreshing dip in the pool is a great way to wake you up! Or you can use their gym to work off that BBQ :) Our room was standard size and had a comfy bed. We were given a room facing the freeway on the second floor near the admin office. It was quiet enough since this is a business hotel, but we occasionally heard toilets being flushed from upstairs and the airconditioning would make a loud hiss here and there. Overall, the room was clean but is desperate need of update and brighter lighting. Do not miss the crab cakes and a stiff gin based elderflower martini at the hotel bar. Besides, you'll be hard pressed for food options around the area. There's no walkable food places in Southpark.

Lobby bar

We stayed for 2 nights NYE weekend because we we're in town for basketball games at the college. I wanted a hotel with a bar that we could stop at after the games without dipping into the wild New Year's Eve scene of Austin. (I'm old and boring ok but not dead yet) This place was even nicer than I expected. It is definitely an older hotel that has not been renovated as you can tell from the older style rooms but it is still incredibly nice and comfortable. Staff was friendly and check in was easy. The bar is in the middle of the lobby where there is some great seating available with plants, TV and pool views. The pool is heated and due to the warm December weather had quite a few folks swimming. We checked out the restaurant but didn't eat there. Snagged snacks at the lobby shop. Parking is easy and free. Great hotel and would recommend!

See all

We got married here last week on September 12, 2015. You cannot beat the patio and the view of the…read moreAustin skyline. If you want to get married here, you have to be very DIY because the clubhouse itself is not a wedding venue. It belongs to the city and is just a venue for you to do what you please. Many people may be turned off by this, but I loved the freedom to hire whoever I wanted. We hired Pascal's Catering, and they were above and beyond awesome. I can't rave about them enough. I wrote a separate review about them. The site itself includes the clubhouse, which has a kitchen and male and female restrooms, and the patio. The clubhouse provides a lot of tables and chairs, if you want specific numbers, look on the website. We got married inside the clubhouse, and had the reception on the patio. The total number of guests was about 75, and that is an extremely comfortable number for the venue. It's not the greatest venue for huge weddings due to limited space. The buffet was set up inside the clubhouse after the ceremony ended. A huge warning ... the clubhouse is not air conditioned. Lucky for us the temperature dropped into the 80's on our wedding day, and so we did not have an issue with this. But, people have rented swamp coolers and AC units etc for those hot summer days, I've heard. Booking the clubhouse was a bit of a pain. You can book it first come first serve 6 months in advance. Other than that, there's a lottery system if you want to book 10 months out. We did the first come first serve ordeal. There were a handful of dates in Sept that hadn't been reserved already by the lottery system. So, on the first Monday of each month, you are able to show up at COA office and reserve your venue on a first come first serve basis for the 6th month out. For example, I wanted Sept 12, so I showed up on the first Monday of March 2015 and stood in line to book the date. I believe the office opens at 8 am, and I showed up at 6:30 am to wait in line. Other people had the same idea and came early to wait in line for their dates as well. Luckily for all of us in line, we all wanted different dates :) A couple that showed up after me wanted the same date. They showed up at 8:00 AM when they thought the office was opening, not anticipating that people would show up earlier. They were disappointed. I felt terrible for them, but excited for us! Moral of the story is, if you can, show up early and wait in line if you REALLY want this venue. I didn't have any back ups, and I was wiling to be flexible on the dates as long as I got the venue. The building is very rustic, and we received SO many compliments on the venue and the view of the Austin skyline. The clubhouse is extremely affordable to rent, and you get your deposit back if you don't do any damage. They have extremely detailed information on their website. I cannot recommend this place enough!

I'm…read moreholding a star since we received an email saying we got our deposit back Aug 12th and I still haven't seen the funds in my account- but besides that issue it's definitely got a 5 star rating! We actually got married a month prior in MA, but needed to celebrate the occasion with all our friends who live here with us in TX. This event space was perfect for a party on a budget. The view- I mean, come ON, was just incredible, and the backdrop for everyone's photos! People could not stop talking about how phenomenal it was. The process of getting the place was a bit tricky, as I could not navigate their government website to select the date and missed the cut-off time before having to do the lottery. Luckily, not a lot of people were begging for dates in August as the venue does not have air conditioning- so the heat was a bit brutal (but that's Texas!)- but we got it no problem! I ended up calling and the person I spoke to was very helpful. Speaking of air conditioning- or lack-there-of- we ended up renting some swamp coolers (huge cooling fans that run off of ice- but a LOT of ice!!) to help with the heat. There are ceiling fans and a few industrial fans included- but those don't help too much in August! I had a hard time figuring out what exactly we needed- so I'm going to add a quick "plug" for Preferred Climate Solutions our of Hutto, TX. They worked ZPC before and knew how to set things up. Brett even had an extra swamp cooler from an earlier event he let us use. Moving on- because this place doesn't require use of specific vendors- it made it that much affordable. We hired Slab BBQ to cater and Pixster photo booth for fun. For drinks, we filled out the necessary paperwork (some cheap $10ish permit? I can't quite remember) and we're able to just bring in a few kegs and boxes of wine from PartyBarn. Everything went off without a hitch! Good to note- the place provides a bunch of tables. Two huge round ones, a few smaller round and rectangle ones, and some nice cocktail tables we used on the patio. (The cocktail tables and one rectangular were good enough condition to go without tablecloths- the rest require coverings.) For lighting- it was definitely important to us to get string lights on the patio. I realized last minute that getting a few hundred feet of lights was going to be trickier than I initially thought- since I had to consider ones that connected and could manage the power of 300 ft of lights. I used Americanpartylights.com- it worked out great! They included zip ties which is important since it's against the park rules to use tape (holds better anyways.) I found a great diagram of ZPC patio for the light arrangements and measurements (photo included.) It was a perfect celebration and I HIGHLY recommend this space for any event! It has such a cool vibe even without decorations, your set up can be minimal and still look amazing. Plus... that VIEW!

Texas keeper Cider is a unique family owned (Nick, Branden & Lindsey) cidery nestled in the Hill…read moreCountry in Manchaca, TX (pronounced "Man Chack" by Texans). Let be the first to say, I do not like the taste of beer nor hard cider that tastes like beer. Fortunately for this cider, the alcohol content is low and uses Texas grown apples. It is interesting to note, Texas Keeper Cider is also sold in some HEB stores. When you arrive it looks that the quintessential Texas farm...lots of shade trees, vegetation and a gravely country road leading up to the cidery. The Texas Keeper Cider placard hangs near the road reminding you of a saloon sign. Then you next encounter a visually appealing green fern looking gate. Interestingly, there are empty barrels in the yard along with outdoor tables and chairs (also inside table and chairs). The cidery also host special events such a weddings and birthdays. According to Reese and Ben, my cider sampling team, the cidery used to be a house and opened in 2012ish. Inside you are enamored by the amount cedar on the walls and ceiling...quite visually striking. Now for the cider...Texas Keeper Cider is there number selling cider. I sampled Texas Keeper Cider, a Rose infused and White wine infused cider. Thus, I bought a bottle of the Grafter Blanc to take home due to its palate pleasing and refreshing taste. The Texas Cider Keeper cidery is a pleasant area to spend time and enjoy the great outdoors while sipping on some amazing cider.

The location itself looks very rustic on the outside, but inside it's cool, modern and has plenty of seating. You'll find plenty of shade trees and two water stations along with some nonalcoholic drink options. There's no food truck on site, but they do offer a charcuterie board and I was told you can now bring your own grub (still might want to call and confirm though). At the bar inside you'll find a listing of their ciders including some guest taps that rotate. There's two unisex bathrooms near the bar and two sinks on the outside where everyone can watch you wash your hands. It should be mentioned that there is one oddity about this property and that is the small McCuistian family cemetery just a few hundred feet west of the driveway (see separate review). And if that cemetery is not enough to get your attention, the huge Live Oak cemetery is directly next-door with over a thousand graves to peruse through (yes, I reviewed that one too). So if you're looking for a place that produces high-quality craft cider and enjoy the rustic Hill country setting, this is it. A couple of items to note, Friday night is movie night on a big screen outside and on weekends they have live bands. 10 informative photographs included.

We actually found it pretty last minute and decided to go early since we knew we'd be taking photos and didn't want to deal with crowds. When we arrived, it was pretty quiet, which honestly worked out perfectly for us. The décor is bold and eclectic in the best way, think velvet booths, curated gallery walls, low lighting, and these amazing feathered chandeliers that tie the whole space together. We ordered the Tiger Lilly cocktail and the Elote, both were fantastic. The drinks are not only pretty but good, which isn't always a given in places that are more vibe-forward. Ours were balanced, flavorful, and well-presented. The DJ was there, early, which was a nice surprise, it gave the whole place some life without being overwhelming. The staff was super kind, especially the manager who came by to check in and even gave us a little background on the space. We appreciated how welcoming everyone was. We heard that the night before had been packed, so it sounds like this place definitely fills up later at night. We're looking forward to coming back when it's livelier to get the full experience, but for a chill early visit focused on ambiance, great service, and creative drinks, it absolutely hit the mark. Pro tip: If you're someone who loves a visually aesthetic experience and wants a place to snap a few pics before the rush, go early like we did. Can't wait to return!
