Reviews for The Driskill
Not happy.
The website should make it easier to see that there is a lot of construction going on. Restaurants and bar areas closed down, lots of noise and dust with tile and more being removed. Very disappointed .

Overpriced Hsmpton Inn
The hotel was under construction so spoilt the whole vibe. Won't go back overpriced for what it is. Honestly same standard as a Hampton Inn.

Wait until construction is finished
Wait until construction is completed before staying here. Too many other options nearby at this price point. Should be complete by Christmas.

Why charge so much for a hotel under renovation?
Hotel was undergoing renovation and many of the design/architectural features i wanted to see in the interior were draped in plastic.

A great old hotel in a declining city.
A nice old property that is currently undergoing a remodeling. That said, the staff works around the construction pretty well and the service and cleanliness are top shelf. The sixth street location is a drawback unless you enjoy a stampede's of want-to-be hipsters on electric scooters, the stench of yesterday's booze, and lots of homeless people asking for money and the related 24/7 EMS and police attention that goes with the city pretending to deal with the problem. Next time, I'll stay off of sixth and visit the Driskill for a drink. Austin needs to give up on the "Keep Austin Weird" and fix the homeless problem or settle for a second rate New Orleans/Bourbon Street vibe.
