Hotel was an average Hyatt property. Nice, clean, good location, but nothing spectacular. Was there for a business conference, so stayed 2 nights. If you are afraid of heights (and I am), may not be for you, due to the open-concept lay-out. Make sure to ask for a lower floor. Will be louder, unfortunately, but beats being scared to death trying to get to your room.

Staff was great, rooms were fine, but there was a bat (yes, a bat) flying around Monday night. We were having a drink reception on the 2nd floor and the bat was flying around diving at people. While it was funny to watch, I'm guessing having a bat flying around is a bit of a liability.

Other than that, stay was fine. Would stay there again if business dictated, but would likely try somewhere else for personal stay (but that is more about personal preference than flaws at the site).

Staff was great, very responsive. Convenient to 6th ave and downtown Austin, rooms were nice and bed was comfy... Only one negative. The water took a very long time to get hot, it seems like a waste of water to run it a good 5 minutes (at least) before it was hot enough to shower. The view on the river side made the hotel VERY worth the wait for the hot water. I'd recommend for business and pleasure.

I've stayed at a bunch of hotels around Austin and I always come back to the Hyatt. Parking is more affordable than other hotels on the other side of the river, the views are spectacular, and it's right on the running trail around Lake Austin.

Very high quality hotel with nice restaurant/bar facilities. Happy hour 4-6 in bar.

Good but somewhat small gym, open 24/7.
Breakfast doesnt open until 6:30 which is late for hungry, jetlagged europeans.

Good location with good shopping within walking distance. (Don't miss Mellow Johnny's bike store on Neuce St.).

Charged 10USD per day for WIFI. So 1990's.

Free boarding card printing but business center was a disappointment,
charged me 14USD for simply printing a document.
