I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable, but they lacked a bit of furniture compared to other Hilton brands in Austin. I prefer watching TV from a sofa instead of just from the bed. Although the rooms were spacious, there was a limited viewing angle for the TV.
