First I will say the rooms were small but nice. The housekeeping was very friendly, as were the bellhops. However, the first night I came back to lobby after a night out with friends. I am in my 30s, and not some college kid cruising in drunk from 6th street. Long story short, a very low class group of girls drunk and looking for a fight were provoking my friends in elevator. As we continued to ignore them, this angered this and I ended up being punched. After filing a police report, she wasnt kicked out of hotel! The mgr and general mgr were RUDE and not accomodating after the girl threatened to finish me off later. THey said I could change hotels at MY expense. So you can get kicked out for noise as policy says at check in, but clock someone in face and you can stay! Mgmt handled POORLY. Also, they put made up charges on our bill. Had to argue that as well. The guests at pool were so trashy like something at a motel 6. NEVER EVER AGAIN would I stay here. Very disappointing stay. Pros + friendly housekeeping Cons - everythign else under the sun http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html The restaurant is very quiet which can be a great thing in the downtown area, sometimes you just need to get away. The service was not hurried, the food was excellent as were the cocktails with a small but intriguing wine list. A nice escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin. Pros + excellent food with cocktails that compliment Cons - very quiet, you may be the only one dining http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html The OAH was a very nice hotel. I liked the open bar on the main floor. The rooms were better than most and I liked the location. I don't know if I would take my family there, but for a business traveler like myself I thought it was pretty good. http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html This place may work for weekday business, but avoid it at all costs on weekends with families. This very sterile business hotel is located a block or two from the famous/infamous 6th Street party scene. The guests reminded me of what you'd see in a Las Vegas casino: loud, boisterous and inappropriate. Our daughter was accosted by a drunk on the way back to her room with a pizza. The price of passage was a slice. The management appeared unimpressed with the report. I guess it is not uncommon. Pros + Location Cons - Location http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html This is a great hotel to stay in. It is central to everything downtown. We used it to house our out of town wedding guests. The hotel assigned a coordinator for the rooms, and set up a great rate. They gave us a 3 room suite for free for booking the rooms with them, and a free night to use at a later date. The hotel is fun and relaxed, with attentive staff. Rooms are standard, but the rooftop pool and jacuzzi are fun! They created a great atmosphere for a large wedding party. http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html We've sayed at the omni a bunch. The staff on the concierge lounge are super. Happy hour nice. New chef is very talented. Maid service right on point. Rooms are quite nice for a city hotel. Great facilities. Pros + Concierge, Roof top pool, Great new chef Cons - other hotel staff will seen sub par after staying at the Omni http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html Very friendly and helpful staff, they have a pretty well stocked gym. You can even have a treadmill delivered to your room as well as a "Get Fit Kit". Take great care in accomodating travelers...breakfast was delivered to my room as requested on the card; no one ever disturbed me...they just knocked and left it there. If you're a Starwood member, you receive 2 complimentary beverages and have the option to select USA Today or Wall Street Journal. Restaurant in hotel has a minimal selection, but bar is lovely. Hotel is located in business district and there aren't food options in the immediate vicinity but if you walk a bit, you'll find what you're looking for. Pros + 24 hour fitness center, treadmill delivered to room, great staff http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html We had our wedding at the Omni, and it was fabulous. Our guests were treated well, and the rooms were great. We loved the location because we could walk to sixth street and the capitol. We were given a complimentary suite. I still get compliments on the food that we served at our wedding. Everyone says that its the best wedding food they've ever had. We served steak, and everyone was impressed with how good it tasted, and how it wasn't overcooked. I highly recommend this hotel, especially if you're looking for somewhere to get married. http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html Purchased the hotel room on priceline... Searched for 4 star hotels. would have We prefer the Hilton. They had a hard time finding us a king size bed, but they eventually found one. They were going to upgrade us. The rooms look very basic. Comfortable enough, just very standard. The one part that freaked us out was that there was a ghost in the room. FYI - Room 506 is haunted. Seriously. We woke in the middle of the night to find the desk pulled out 4 feet from the wall and the lamp knocked on the ground. The inside door was locked, had not been opened. Neither of us sleepwalk. I personally will not stay here again, but I reccomend it to travelers to Austin for the great location. If the price is similar, I would stay at the Hilton Downtown. :) Pros + Location Cons - Basic, Ghosts, Price http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html My wife and I just got back from our weekend stay in Austin. I've never seen service like this at any hotel. The check-in was quick. The bellhop was knowledgable and courteous. The room was spacious and very clean. Tip: ask for an even numbered room (better view). It rained a little so we didn't get to take advantage of the roof-top pool and jacuzzi, but I'd definately recommend it. Breakfast in the hotel was delicious but expensive. The concierge service is first rate! He got us a reservation at an upscale resturant even though they said they were booked! This place was perfect for a weekend getaway! Pros + Service, Location, Amenities Cons - expensive parking http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html For the money, I was expecting this hotel to be better. I could not get any sleep during the night because it was just SO LOUD. They should really think about soundproofing the walls! You should only think about staying here if you plan on going out at night. My favorite part of this hotel was the staff, they were friendly and courteous. Service here was terrific. Parking was expensive! Im not planning on going back. http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html Recently I was came to Austin for a wedding and basically went with what I found to be a decent deal on the internet. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the deal I got was very enjoyable. The rooms were clean, the staff professional, and the service was great. I will be back for sure if I ever return to the Omni. http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html We stayed at the Omni in September of this year. I am currently planning a trip back. The pool is beautiful, the staff is very helpful, and the elevators are great! I do not have one complaint about this hotel, would recommend it to everyone I know. Pros + Helpful staff, Great Location http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html I like riding the glass elevators to the rooftop pool and hot tub. At night, the view from the hot tub is romantic (bring a bottle of wine) and depending on when you go, it isn't too crowded. The lobby has shops and a restaurant (a tad over-priced). The staff has always been very nice and helpful. http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html The glass elevators are featured in the locally filmed "Spy Kids". Also, the pool on the roof affords you a view of most of Austin. Pros + central location Cons - the paintings http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html We had a Sat. night stay. On Sunday morning about 9:20 the maids started banging on doors and were yelling at each other up and down the hall. Everytime a door opened or closed in the hall, our door rattled. Construction was going on in the hotel and they started hammering about 10:00. During the week for business travelers these times may be acceptable but not on the weekends. We were very disappointed because we were expecting a nice,quiet, relaxing morning and it was anything but that. ... http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html I was looking for nice hotel near all the fun on 6th street in Austin and I found it. Our stay on the newly remodeled 11th floor was the THE most comfortable of our week tour of Texas. See you again the next time I am in Austin. ... http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html The Omni Hotel * 700 San Jacinto at 8th Street * Austin, Texas 78701 * Phone: (512) 476-3700, Fax: (512) 397-4888 An elegant riche hotel in the heart of downtown Austin in the famous Omniplex building. Within walking distance from the convention center, 6th street, Red River, and Austin's famous nighttime activities. The staff was friendly and eager to please. But the hotel is definitely centered around those with money. They force a concessions deposit with the room in case you get late night munchies out of the bar-fridge in the room: tiny jar of cashews for $6.50, $4 for a small bag of potato chips, $2.50 for a snickers bar. Lets not even approach the cost to the liquor or room service. They are certainly out for your money in elegance of course! Extra costs for everything - you get more bang for your buck at the Holiday Inn. No free breakfast even though you're paying in excess of $120/night. There is a gym, swimming pool, and hot tub on the roof. Rating: 3 stars out of 5. http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html Omni Austin Downtown is in the heart of Austin. It is about 17 floors with 2 towers. It is eye candy when you walk in. The Elevators face inwards to see the interior of the hotel. The staff is great, the rooms are good, not quite upgraded as other 4-5 star hotels but good enough! Be sure to sign up... http://www.yellowbot.com/anchos-restaurant-austin-tx-1.html Don't get an exterior wall room. The Austin 6th Street night clubs are very LOUD and the hotel will not tell you about it. It is worse on a Saturday night when the drunks are all out yelling. In addition, there is a police station, a fire station, a EMS station and a Salvation Army all within a few blocks...
