My husband and I love staying at W Hotels, but the Austin W was very dissapointing for three main reasons:
1. The Lobby, which is always impressive, failed to impress, there was just nothing special about it at all. For the room price, we always look forward to having drinks in the lobby. No live music, no view of the street, nada.
2. Our room had only a IPhone dock for music. We have Android phones, so guess what we could not listen to any music. We called the desk thinking they must have an adapter or CD player or something, they did not, we were offered nothing. Guess if you don't own an Apple device your out of luck.
3. There was absolutely no extra toiletries in our room, I mean there were no Qtips, no mouthwash, no shower cap. Just shampoo and conditioner, that was all.
Overall, the W in Austin is not worth the price, other W Hotels are so much better and way more fun. Stay at the Driskell, its very traditional but we went there for drinks, and its lobby is impressive, there was live music and a hopping fun bar.
