citizenM Austin Downtown
Rooms are smaaaall, as economy cruise ship small. Beds are hard. No top sheets. No wash cloths in the room. I requested to change rooms… not possible. I requested to cancel my additional 2 nights and they had no problem with that. “Weird” approach to customer service

I arrived early for check-in after a really difficult drive and fully expected to need to wait, but the receptionist let me check in because my room was available and to be honest it was a game changer for my entire trip to be able to relax a little before the Austin marathon the next day
