Room 1602 bedroom view

This hotel has a lot of great potential to be a 5-star lodging destination, but what comes down to it is they have a habit of double and even triple charging your card. You have to be very watchful of your credit card statement. I only stayed here for two nights and prepaid for my stay. The first day, I checked my card after check in and they billed me $331. Out of nowhere, I immediately went downstairs to the lobby on the 5th floor and asked them about that. They told me that was due to incidentals which is $75 per night and that the charge would fall off once I check out. By check out, I had another charge on my card for $136. I ask them about this and they said it was for valet. Valet is $57 per night. Just to park a vehicle they charge this and yet you're still expected to tip the valet even though they charge so much for valet. Anyways, I had to get them to put that charge on another card so it wouldn't show on the folio (for work purposes). As I'm driving back home, I checked my credit card app again and saw that Cambria charged my card for $123. I already paid for the room and didn't need to pay again. I called them and was told that they accidentally charged my card, but within 5 days the charge would fall off. Overall, beautiful hotel with spacious rooms, beautiful view, and extremely soft beds with pillows. The room was immaculately clean. The shower door did get stuck and was hard to pull to close, but I had to pull it hard and it closed without the glass breaking. The couch was hard as a brick and too far away from the television. Motion sensor lights was a cool touch. I kept the temperature on 69 cold and the room remained icy cold throughout my stay. Valet was nice and quick. It was a tad bit noisy on my last night, but I had in my headphones to drown out the sound. Everyone at the front desk was polite. I didn't try the restaurant on site. I didn't eat breakfast because I don't eat at that time. By the way, breakfast isn't complimentary. After all the unnecessary headaches of them being money hungry draining of my card, this is my last stay at any and all Cambria Hotels. As it does seem to be a common theme.

Very beautiful and modern hotel in Austin, Texas. This was my second time staying at this hotel and this time it was even a better experience. Customer service was amazing and they gave me a beautiful city view room. The breakfast was amazing in quality and the breakfast staff were truly kind. Valet was also awesome. The location this hotel is also prime being in the heart of rainy street. However unfortunately the hotel charged me twice as I had to use two different cards at the end and it's been a huge challenge now trying to get my refund for the double charge from the hotel and the choice hotel team. For this reason I am not sure if I will be back.

Never seen a candy bar for $6 just to start. If it wasn't for a late night craving I definitely would have passed. $17 for these 3 items and it has the gall to ask for a tip after. Never again. Do better Choice hotels

Hubby and I were looking for a stay getaway and yes staycation is always a good idea and even better when you find a beautiful place to stay! I enjoyed this hotel. Very comfortable stay and the decor is so modern! The hotel is beautiful as soon as you walk in from valet and then head up to the main lobby. So close to downtown and 6th Street where all the fun is also easy freeway access. The front desk staff were very friendly. We wanted to switch rooms the next day due to a better view of the city! Which was well worth it the only thing is you do hear all of the downtown activities so it is loud we didn't mind it just a heads up but the staff do provide earplugs. We did have a problem with the heater it took about 3-4 hours for the room the warm up we had to get assistance. Overall stay was beautiful we didn't get to check out the restaurant inside and the bar closed fairly early. I would recommend staying and would come back for another small weekend getaway with hubby.

Great hotel. Stayed here for business. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Hotel is updated and swanky. My room was very comfortable, with a fridge, comfy beds with 4 pillows on each bed, lots of towels, great walk in shower and great tv with Netflix and Bluetooth set up. Very close to tons of restaurants and bars. Definitely recommend.

I cannot remember what made me choose this hotel, but boy, am I glad I did. You can literally book this hotel and have a wonderful resort style feeling in the middle of downtown Austin. It has two bars and a beautiful outside pool that features ample seatings and lounge chairs. The restaurant was beautiful but a bit confusing. I got chicken and waffles but they had no syrup. At first I was a little annoyed at this until I bit into it. Listen, my little delight when I travel is to try different restaurant's chicken and waffles to see the differences and to rate them. Over the years, I have tried countless of restaurant's chicken and waffles. This was the best hands down chicken and waffles I've ever had! It did not need a drop of syrup. The bacon my husband had was burnt but everything else was good. The cost of the breakfast was reasonable. The staff was amazing and gave us assistance when we needed it. The best thing about this hotel is that there's beautiful restaurants right behind it! And it's only a few minutes walk to the active part of downtown Austin. I have now made it my decision that this is the hotel I will always stay at when visiting Austin!

Where guests were parking but supposedly police officers were giving tickets.
Danielle R.

We stumbled upon this hotel and thank goodness we did! Talk about clean, friendly, and overall top notch experience! Everything is new and modernized. Maiah, at the front desk was super friendly and informative. The only downside is parking. You have to pay $50 for valet parking , even though we could have parked across the street, but we were told it's not public parking and police officers were giving tickets to people who parked there. ‍ If it wasn't for valet parking being the so called "only option," would have gave a 5+ Star review! Regardless, my family of 4 will definitely stay here again!

Catching epic music at Limestone!
Kayla C.

@Ashley at valet is always friendly and helpful! Love the entire staff there. Limestone is such a great spot to check out music events and community happenings! It's definitely on my list of places to check out in Austin, TX!

Beautiful sunset.

See all

The pool was relatively kid friendly. Not many kids, but also groups who were friendly towards children. You can order canned beer and select menu items (the fries are amazing!) from the restaurant, poolside. I would recommend walking in to the bar if you want a cocktail. The plants at carpenter are so nicely done and gorgeous. They also have a cute little shop with their goods. Rooms are comfortable and a bit similar to the Ace Hotel Palm Springs!

Lots of cool features. Beautiful bathroom design, loved the whole design concept. Lovely Marshall speakers. The cons: Our first room was on the 3rd floor. Upon walking in, it smelled very musty. After about 5 mins I had to step out in the balcony to get fresh air (tho it was 95F outside). I sent my husband to see if we could change rooms, in the meanwhile, I was getting a little nauseous back in the room. The hotel kindly changed our rooms. 2nd room was much better. But as the night went on, we realized it was the AC unit that was blowing the musty/mildewy air. I woke up several times because of the smell. The second night we just turned off the AC and it was better. The hotel location is ok. We walked to P Terrys to try their burgers and there were a few sketchy people along the way.

We also dined at Nido, the hotel's restaurant, for both dinner and breakfast, and it was definitely a highlight. Located on the topmost floor, Nido offers stunning views of the river and downtown Austin. With both indoor and outdoor seating, the ambiance is elegant and ideal for a special evening. During our visit, we saw a couple of groups celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries, which shows how perfect this place is for special occasions. The pricing is on the higher side, but it matches the upscale experience and beautiful setting. For dinner, we ordered the Burrata as an appetizer and the Autumn Garden for the main course, along with an American IPA and a Jack Frost cocktail. Everything was delicious, but the Burrata truly stood out as my favorite. Breakfast was equally enjoyable--we had custom-made omelettes with veggies and avocado toast, both fresh and flavorful. Overall, The Loren Hotel, along with Nido, offers a great blend of comfort, excellent food, and a beautiful atmosphere. A perfect choice if you're looking to celebrate something special or simply treat yourself to a high-end experience.

It' just as beautiful inside as it is outside. It's fresh, modern, earthy and just plain cool. The rooms are massive and it feels so nice to spread out and be able to work at a huge desk. The lobby check-in was easy and the front desk staff was so friendly and helpful. I tried their 8th floor restaurant for dinner and was floored- it is a MUST if you stay here (but that will be a separate review.) I would also like to recognize front desk attendant Thomas for his amazing Customer Service! He was so proactive in ordering our food and beverage when he knew that we didn't have time or we were late and the restaurant was not available. Thank you Thomas!

Why 5 stars? Because I can't think of a single complaint…read more --- --- --- I'm a big fan of all the above. Location, comfortable bed, good shower, clean, the room gets nice and cold, etc. We stayed in a budget hotel the first night in Austin, and while it got the job done, the upgrade here was very apparent from the moment we walked in. Two possible flags against the hotel were prevented on my end. 1) When I am driving to a destination, I bring my pillows from home. Why risk bad hotel pillows when you can just throw yours in a large duffel? I'm glad I did this because the pillows didn't look great, but maybe I'm just picky about pillows. 2) Parking is $60/night. I found parking that was $30 total for two nights, two blocks away. Easy decision to save $90. Download SpotHero if you don't already have it. It's amazing. Bonus: despite not parking on-site, the valet guys were great about letting us park temporarily to load and unload. It was really easy and there was space for it. This will definitely be my go-to Austin hotel, moving forward.

Our room had two double beds and was huge - perfect for three girls sharing a space. It had a lounge area with a couch as well as a desk. The bathroom was also spacious and nice with good shower products. One thing I will say is that the air conditioning is VERY loud. I shared a bed with my friend that wasn't directly in front of it, but our other friend in the "tundra" was pretty uncomfortable during the night because it was both cold and loud. Other than that, I enjoyed this hotel. They are so kind to give you free water every time you walk in, which is great!

They gave us a different room, which greeted us with several children screaming their heads up and pounding the walls nextdoor. We went down to get a different room, and then got stuck in the elevator for several minutes. We pressed the emergency button and it was left unanswered for over 10 minutes before we finally got the elevator to return to the first floor and open the doors. We told the front desk and rather than receive an ounce of sympathy, we were told that other people were stuck in the only other elevator for 30 minutes earlier. When we first checked in, the couple in front of us received a number of tips from the front desk including where and when to get coffee. They also got their rose check-in, which seems to be a highlight of the hotel. However, when we reached the desk we received no information and no rose. We weren't even offered or asked. In fact, the desk staff seemed more interested in replenishing the rose they were giving to other people than addressing the long line of people waiting. Friends of ours, who were also in town for the wedding, had reserved a room with two beds and were given a room with one bed and a cot. I've stayed in hotels across the world and never have I been made to feel so small and unimportant. Two stars are for the shower and location. Won't be staying here again if I ever get a chance to visit Austin again.

We had a clean and tidy suite on the first level. Two double beds were comfy and plenty of towels. Our first night's stay was decent. Surprised to know they seem to use softened water because it made our skin feel slippery. I noticed the shower gel holder was falling out of the wall. A precarious situation of having to carefully pull the mechanism to dispense without pulling too hard. I did notify the night staff but the next day, it didn't seem like anyone came to fix it. No extra body wash or soap was provided even when I asked for some. The wall sockets with the en-suite appliances was not usable. The electrical outlets weren't working so we couldn't toast anything, use the kettle, or the coffee machine. Couldn't find one with a GFCI breaker to reset that side so gave up. Interestingly, the full-sized fridge and microwave were working ok though. The rod for one of the window curtains fell off while opening them. Because it's floor to ceiling we just left it alone. The common spaces around the property are well decorated, from the Library, Executive board room, kids corner, gym/yoga studio, and outdoor lounge space. Although, the snack/tea/coffee station with Keurig isn't filled maintained often. We had to ask the night staff to refill the water for tea and the lobby water dispenser was constantly low as well. On our second to last day, I found the hot water and still water station downstairs at Simona's. Pros: Clean, comfy, affordable stay. Enjoyed the bottomless drip coffee $5 and their signature Breakfast at Tiffany's latte. Also appreciated them letting us do late checkout and upgrade our room. Cons: Complimentary water station, Keurig / snack station, overall maintenance of room amenities could be handled better. Warning: If booking from 3rd party (BILT, Capital One Portal...) the added parking is not the same price that's on Colton's House's website. It's actually $40/day (with in/out privileges). However if booking directly through Colton House for stays, parking is 50% off at $20. Would we stay here again in the future? Most likely not. For an SLH property, we may look for another better-maintained option in the future.

As we attempted to close out at the bar we were informed that we could not use the credit offered because our room had not been entered into the system. Credit was useless, I paid the tab and went to dinner. Came back 2 hours later, room still not ready. It is now 4 hours past check in time. I ask for a manager and at this point getting upset. Manager appears and threatens to throw me out. At this point I give up, go to the room that I don't want and call Amex to deal with the issue. I have stayed at the Driskill well over a dozen times thru out the years and I am really disappointed that this experience has ruined all of the good memories. Sadly it will be my last stay. I've had better treatment at a Super 8. Hyatt has really ruined a true Texas landmark with this sloppy management and poor customer service.
