Great hotel
This was a business trip. What liked well was the easy checkin and out. Room was clean. The shower was too hot and could not get to a comfortable degree to take a shower. The reception every night was great to unwind

No valet so had to park in public parking garage and walk back to hotel, no cover or connection to each other.
Got a suite and the shower was a handicap shower but was so small that even my 5'10 husband couldn't fit in it and when we showered it flooded the whole bathroom floor

Not the best
The beds were sinking in and our sofa bed had a dirty pair of socks and a pill fall out of it when we opened it.

Embassy Suites is always a first choice simply because of their breakfast!! I know it’s Austin, but $48 for parking was a bit much. Everything else was great.
