Relaxing, Clean and Comfortable

by mark

I just stayed at the Wyndam for the first time on business last week. I was pleasantly surprised and will return. The staff was friendly and informative. The rooms were spotless and the bed provided two nights of peaceful sleep. The breakfast bar had the essentials- cereal, yogurt, bagels, eggs and omlettes to order and very good coffee. The wait staff was very kind and helplful with questions I had. BTW, the hotel is decorated with musicans who have played in the Austin area- you could spend 1/2 a day just looking at the pictures and reading the captions. Very nice touch to the ambiance. I'll be back.

Wow! Amazing customer service--- and a good shower too!

I was VERY impressed with my stay at Wyndham Garden. First of all they have a free airport shuttle, which I love, the food in the restaurant/room service is delish, and the location is a very short cab ride to 6th street so it's convienent yet affordable. The hotel is not super fancy, but still very cute (recently remodled I believe) with it's Austin Musician Themed halls, and extreamely comfortable---the beds are super fluffy and covered with so many pillows you just want to dive in and take a long nap! The little soaps & shampoos are Bath & Body works brand, and were a great little luxury at the end of a long day. In true Austin eco-fashion, the hotel is also very "green." They have a really cool way of keeping energy-efficient that you will just have to see for yourself... BUT the best thing about my stay was how accomodating the staff was...I spoke to one of the receptionists to ask directions to a drugstore, she checked the shuttle calandar (to make sure there were no guests checking out) and then actually brought the hotel shuttle around and drove me to run my errand! I have never had a hotel offer that before, and though we were gone less than 20 minutes, it made a huge impression on me! You could go to a holiday inn and sleep fine, but for just a little more money, Wyndam gives a much nicer experience and a LOT more value!!

• Pros: Great Service, loved the bath-stuff!
• Cons: Too far to walk to 6th street.

You get 8 pillows!

What a great hotel! great price, great service and nice rooms. The beds had fluffy bedding and so many different kinds of pillows from firm to super soft feather that I had a hard time deciding which one to pick. What a great idea! I always think pillows are too hard in a hotel and they nipped it before I even had an opportunity to think that. The location of this business hotel was right off of 35 and 5 min from downtown. The management was around walking the lobby area at all times, so very accessible if you needed anything and the hotel over all was very nice. The decor in the lobby is Austin Western and the restaurant has the biggest chairs to sit in I have ever seen in a restaurant on a hotel, actually in any restaurant. The waitress that served me was very nice and efficient as well. They have nice buffet Breakfast, lunch and dinner at a reasonable price or you can order off the menu. I snacked on the tortilla chips and salsa and I think they made both from scratch, they were that fresh! All in all quite possibly the best value and experience I have had in a hotel in quite some time. I would highly recommend this place to any kind of traveler. If you are a business hotel seeker or a discount to luxury hotel seeker. This is a happy something for everyone hotel. If I had more than two thumbs I would give them more on the rating :)

• Pros: Great hotel! Loved the staff the accomodations and the hotel restaurant!
• Cons: none
