West Austin Kid friendly Vacations

This is a solution if you: 1. Will have a car 2. Want an apartment type feel or will be needing an extended stay solution. 3. Perfect if you need somewhere for an extended stay. 4. Not so great as a short stay business traveler.

Great property. Conveniently located to restaurants and UT campus.

This has all the charm of a youth hostel and the pricing of a premium hotel. The furniture is from goodwill and smells like cat urine. The windows are so dirty I thought they were tinted. The Cafe? There is no Cafe... you must bring your own mug. The shower doesn't work, the parking is inconvenient and the check in is ludicrous. I should get paid if I am doing all the work. However the location is in Austin. So thats accurate.

I will definitely look more closely next time I book a “hotel,” because this is actually a timeshare. Upon check-in, the staff was friendly, then we were sent over to a welcoming agent who put on MAJOR pressure for us to attend a 90 min sales presentation. She would not take no for an answer. After several “no thank you” and “why not!?” Exchanges, my partner and I had to just walk away. I understand that this is a business, and I have no problem saying no to sales people (I’ve been on that side of sales) but she uncomfortably was not taking no. I would say, if this timeshare doesn’t want “regular” people booking it as a hotel, they shouldn’t let us. I will never stay at a Wyndham Club again.

I chose this hotel because it was close to my work event venue. My only complaint is that I was hoping to sit outside more. As a single, female traveler, I would have preferred my outdoor space to be more private, such as an upper floor balcony rather than an open porch. I liked that a keycard was required to enter the pool area, but my room was on the end, putting people right next to me as they walked by. One couple stopped and had a conversation only a couple of feet behind where I was sitting. I would have liked to have left the curtains open when I was in the room, but I felt vulnerable doing so with people able to see in as they walked passed. I liked the decor, the bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and there were outlets where I needed them. I would stay there again.
