Parking garage is not attached and there is only 1 handicap. The food bar was really good as the standard Embassy experience. Hot food. However, the omelet line had only one person so there was a long line to wait.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by courteous staff, making check-in seamless and welcoming. Convenient onsite parking was a definite plus, although it came at a cost of $350 for our four-day stay. The complimentary continental breakfast was made even more enjoyable by the friendly and attentive staff, whose hospitality elevated an already pleasant experience. The evening cocktail hour was, as always, a refreshing way to unwind after a day of exploring Austin. Overall, I highly recommend staying at Embassy Suites when visiting Austin. Between the exceptional service, comfortable accommodations, and thoughtful amenities, I would absolutely book here again given the opportunity.

Staff at check in very polite, area clean. Rooms clean, awesome breakfast, especially staff at omelette station. Downside is the parking garage, definitely affected overall rate. Was told that elevators not working as of recently but I stayed at this location approx 3 years ago and had same issue! The stairway is dark and scary, had two children with me. Prioritize repairing at least one of the elevators, in meantime al least add good lighting to stairway.

Hotel was nice, breakfast was lovely, lots of choice. Handy location. Baffles me that you can pay so much for a hotel though and have to pay $50 for parking. Considering every Texan drives everywhere, they must be raking it in with parking fees. As a Brit, I can honestly say I’ve never paid for parking as an overnight guest at a hotel
