Element Hotels in Austin

The line is such an incredible hotel! It is beautiful with extremely comfortable beds and rooms. It is the perfect, central location and has everything you may need for a trip to Austin, including a hotel bar, pool, taco restaurant and rooftop overlooking the city. The staff is friendly, professional and helpful. I will definitely be staying at the line again!

In the words of Bette Davis, “What a Dump.” In its favor, we had a nice view of Lady Bird Lake from our window, which was pretty to wake up to, and the water pressure in the shower was great! The bathroom seemed partially updated and was pretty decent. Free parking, too. There were a few HBO channels on tv. However, the hotel is very dated and not very clean looking. The indoor parking garage was filthy and was dimly lit. Didn’t feel very safe in there, so we parked in the outside lot whenever possible. No greeting from the night time desk clerk when we came back from dinner, as she seemed to purposely be avoiding eye contact with us (she wasn’t on the phone or busy with someone else). The elevators were very smudgy and too dark, also. The beds slumped a bit in the middle, the linens were old and tired looking, and the chair in the corner looked worse than some I’ve put by the curb. An old leak on the ceiling was poorly patched up, and there were stains on the desk chair, carpet and walls. The door to the adjoining room didn’t provide enough sound proofing, as I heard our neighbor’s phone convo loud and clear. The pool area didn’t look very inviting, as there were no umbrellas or trees to block the strong sun. We wanted to stay in downtown Austin to be within walking distance to things, so this was the least expensive option. But not much could be walked to from there, and the area it was in was a bit sketchy, so we ended up taking Ubers, anyway. We had booked our last night at a hotel in the Arboretum area, because this one went up to a ridiculously high amount for Friday night (music festival in town), and it ended up being just as convenient to take an Uber from there (15-20 mins) to downtown. Plus, the hotel was much nicer and way less expensive. Live and learn.

I am a Diamond member - I travel a lot. I am quite familiar with the level of customer service one can expect at a Hampton Inn - or any Hilton property. The manager working the front desk tonight was very unprofessional. We needed to make an alteration to the timing of our reservation (booked with points) and he flat out refused. This is after 3 calls today to different Hilton lines to make the adjustment - the property, HHonors, diamond desk - I was told the best way to alter our stay dates was at the front desk once we arrived. The mgr was very short with us, furthermore, no offer for bottles of water or anything resembling any customer allegiance/diamond appreciation. Icing on the cake - this property is very run down. Due to lot of events in Austin, hotel prices were very high so I paid premium points for our room.. I would not recommend staying here.

This hotel although in the pictures looks very spectacular, isn't quite so. The king room couldn't be any smaller. Included is a mini fridge that doesn't work. The cord did not reach an outlet. The hair dryer completely broken and TV antenna picked up only a few channels. The mini coffee pot included a moldy coffee filter. (gross) The air conditioning filters were filthy. We had to wash them out ourselves. Breakfast included stale cereal and a out of order waffle machine. My girlfriend and I would never stay here again.

The scenery is very good, and the corner windows are very satisfying, especially at night when the lights outside the windows are very impressive. The room is clean and tidy, a little small, but the view is good, these are not important

All I can say is WOW! Everything was PERFECT. Here, there was little sign that the pandemic even occurred. Daily housekeeping, quality pillows and towels, open stores and restaurants…all of this made me so happy! The only thing I would have enjoyed was morning coffee room service, but I’m sure this hotel is recovering from the pandemic like everyone else. What a FANTASTIC stay. Gabriel’s restaurant was fantastic and was open until 10pm, which was wonderful since we arrived at 9pm from a long road trip. I will never stay anywhere else!!
