Updating needed.
I have stayed at this property at least 10 times over the past several years and have watched it age, and not well. The location is excellent, with easy access to the airport, downtown, outlet mall and almost any other area of Austin. This hotel is adequate for a traveller passing thru and spending only one night. It is fairly clean and the staff is friendly and helpful.
The air conditioners in the rooms do not keep them comfortable, we always take a fan with us when staying here. The wireless internet is poor to very poor except in the lobby. The on site restaurant is at best ok. The parking is very convienent, however $12.00 a day to park yourself in a hotel that is not downtown seems excessive. The beds are VERY HARD, they should use the ones in the newer Hampton Inns which are great.
Overall this Doubletree is adequate, but that is not what I expect from Doubletree, I expect much better than adequate. With some updating this property could once again be an excellent choice for meetings as well as just an overnight stay in Austin.
