🇺🇸 Hotel Review | Renaissance Austin

🏠 Stayed at the Downright Austin, A Renaissance Hotel during a motorcycle race weekend in Austin, Texas. Chose it for its reasonable price and new renovations – the hotel just reopened in 2024! 🆕 Paid around $250/night, which was a great deal for a peak weekend. 💳 Membership: Marriott Gold (matched via United Airlines) 🗺️ Location: On the edge of downtown Austin. Since downtown isn’t huge, it’s still convenient. Not many food options nearby though. No Panda Express delivery in Austin yet 😢 – had to use Uber Eats for decent Chinese food, but still left me craving more. 🛋️ Public Areas: Instagram-worthy retro vibe with a pink-and-green color scheme 🎨 – personally loved the design! 🛏️ Room Features: Same stylish pink-green– looks cool from afar! But details felt rushed – rough finishes reveal the older building underneath. The bedding was a highlight 🛌: one of the coziest, softest hotel duvets I’ve experienced lately! Bathroom had a separate sink, but the shower space was tight with a tub + curtain setup 🛁 – not my favorite. Basic toiletries (as expected in the US – no big surprise here). 🎩 Service: Staff were super friendly 😊. When I checked out a night early (booked an extra night for a friend who couldn’t make it), the front desk lady was empathetic and kind – great emotional support! However, service was slow – waited nearly 30 minutes for cutlery 🍴... not ideal. 🍷 Amenities: The(viral-worthy pool) and bar are visually stunning! 💖🌊 Perfect for the young and trendy crowd – pink pool = major vibe! The bar serves delicious drinks – tried a mocktail 🍹 and it was awesome. The lobby café serves breakfast, but it’s overpriced with average taste. Long lines every morning – better to eat out! ✨ Final Thoughts: Overall, a very pleasant stay with exceptionally comfortable bedding – sleep quality was top-notch! 💤 With some improvements in hardware details and service efficiency, this hotel could truly stand out – attracting both young travelers and traditional guests. #Austin #DesignHotel #GenZTravel #Texas
