This property is a really nice one. My only problem is in having to pay $13 a night for WI-Fi. Once upon a time maybe, but Wi-FI has become rather common and is free in most cases. This is a premium priced property and yet they are going to "nickel-dime" you over WI-Fi? At the price of $13 a day... more

My husband and I love the Renaissance chain--it's the one we prefer to stay at or JW's. The Austin Renaissance is a very nice hotel: beautiful lobby (Starbucks too!), very open floorplan, and beautiful grounds. The only drawback for me is the hotel I believe was a takeover of a different brand, perhaps an old Stouffers or Double Tree. However,... more

The hotel is located on the grounds of a mall with lots of other surrounding shopping and a nice spa. Rooms are comfortable, and the views of the Hill Country breathtaking (especially at Sunset). Staff was courteous and very helpful when deciding what Austin attraction suit your interests. more

Austin being a college town-should staff their employees accordingly on late night ball game weekends. Employees should be trained to greet arriving latenight customers and at least tell them the status of their services that late at night. Not walk past them ignoring them several times until they are summond then advise they can not offer them anything, even water....but... more

Stayed two nights in July in a Suite. Very roomy, good plasma TV, great wireless Internet connection (although paid and expensive). The design of the hotel with doors facing a big courtyard is very nice. The hotel bar was very good, bartender gave great tips to which shows to see downtown. The breakfast restaurant was clean and waitress were nice... more

I was looking for a good pool area, and Renaissance Austin delivered. I've stayed there before, but it was for business, not pleasure. I received an email with Marriott e-Breaks and decided to check it out. We were able to stay for $111 a night. Not bad for a full service hotel. There were very few guests. Our room was... more

This hotel has some positives and negatives. First, the positives: it is clean, and its rooms are spacious. It's well located, with several chain restaurants, such as Cheesecake Factory and PF Changs, within walking distance, as well as a pleasant outdoor mall. There is also free parking, as well as valet parking (for a charge.) I would stay there again,... more

STayed here for a business conference. Hotel was very adequate and pleasant. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was quite large. Bath was a little dated but very clean. Housekeeping was timely and good. Didn't eat at the restaraunt but had french toast for room service one morning which was excellent. The other provided meals for conference was okay.... more

Have stayed at this hotel on more than one occassion. The hotel is beautiful, kept clean, and the staff generally friendly. On one of our trips, they gave our room away because we were a later evening check-in, so had to put us up in the Austin Downtown area, but at an equally nice hotel. The rooms are comfortable and... more
