This hotel has all the basics: spacious rooms, comfortable beds, very decent continental breakfast, and everything works. However, it is in desperate need of a face lift - new carpets, upholstery, etc. There is a strong smell of ”old”. We went first to a Target to buy air freshener which we used liberally in both rooms all three days we were there. If you can deal with that, this hotel provides good value.
Terrible customer service, gave the hotel and Marriott multiple chances to make this right and despite corporate saying multiple times they would, they didn’t and I’m a Bonvoy Titanium. I requested a late checkout and reserved a 2:30 PM Airport Shuttle. I returned to my room at 1:45PM and when to the front desk and checked out at 2:15PM, handing the front desk clerk my key and giving my room #. I then sat around in the deserted lobby for 15 minutes, occasionally getting up and walking to door to look for the shuttle. At 2:30 I was at the door looking for the shuttle when the desk clerk called my last name and asked if it was me. I replied yes and was told the shuttle left without me because they knocked on my door and called my room and I wasn’t there and would have to wait until 3PM for the next shuttle. I asked how I missed it since I had been in the lobby 15 minutes early and was then told it never actually came back to the hotel from the airport because sometimes people don’t show up or forget they made a reservation and I didn’t answer my room phone or knock so they assumed I was a no show. I told the desk clerk I had been in my room from 1:45pm and reminded her I checked out at 2:15pm handing her my key, and asked why didn’t she tell me then? She then asked again why I didn’t answer my room phone/knock and told me I would have to wait until 3pm. Reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where the customer agent is told she does not know the meaning of a reservation and how to hold a reservation! I couldn’t wait until 3pm and took an Uber. No way to contact hotel management directly to request reimbursement of my $12.85 Uber fare so contacted Bonvoy customer service online and made the request. Was sent an email stating the hotel’s accounting department would contact me in 3-5 business days. Never happened and sent multiple follow ups online and no reply. Finally called the Titanium desk and asked what was going on, no apologies or explanations on why the hotel never contacted me and why my follow ups were ignored but they were able to pull up the initial correspondence in the system and after a long wait told me the Uber fare would be refunded which as far as I can tell, never happened despite the call occurring over a month ago.
ผผู้เข้าพักWe pulled in about 2:00 am. We were tired and pleased to find a place near the airport at a reasonable rate. Our plan was to relocate to a better/different place in the morning. It turned out that the staff and facility were so good, we extended our stay for a few more days. A huge THANK YOU to the staff at the Wyndham Airport location. A great value because of the great staff!
ผผู้เข้าพักConsistently lovely hotel with consistently good service. The juevos rancheros I ordered and had delivered to my room were incredibly good! And the coffee was nice and strong ….. glad I asked for extra cream and sugars ! Great location near the Arboretum stores and shops at the Domain . Also close to Whole Foods, H‑E‑B grocery store, Gateway movie theater, and lots of good restaurants, many within walking distance.. Large rooms, bathroom stocked with Aveda products. (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bar soap for hands) was a very nice touch!
The only thing I didn’t like was they have recently started charging for self parking in their uncovered lot ….. I paid $20 on 1/31/24. I don’t like that at all. Just put the price in your room rate and say free parking!
EExpatCambria is a newer hotel amidst the redevelopment projects taking place near Rainey Street, a historic landmark of homes turned into entertainment venues. Cambria is opposite side of the spectrum with innovative decor and relaxation. Note that parking costs 49USD per day with valet access only. We chose not to rent a car based on our needs in Austin. Came to visit my son and his family with my eldest son, so we wanted to have some options near nightlife activities. Local drivers shared info on the changes made to the nearby historic street, and staff was friendly with all needs. The water statiins were a plus. Where I think Cambria can improve is in the price of the rooms, menu items and operation hours of their lobby bar/roof bar since staff was short during our stay. Walking to the entertainment street required the back alley short trek, and that aspect took away from the lush atmosphere of the hotel. Grafitti and Limestone hotel venues can easily adjust their marketung strategies towards in-house entertainment along with the Valet arrangement to flow more smoothly and affordably. It’s a lovely hotel which can become full circle staycation with a few adjustments regarding that aspect. New business developments working alongside grass roots businesses is key to smooth changes for both visitors and long-time locals. The pool atmosphere is great, the gym is clean, and the first floor waiting area an easy meeting spot.
