Do not waste your time – The main lobby as an historic property, but the rest of the hotel. Don't waste your money. There are better places in downtown.

Superb Hotel at a great price – We have stayed at several hotels in Denver over the past year but the Hyatt Regency at the Convention Center has been our favorite. The amenities are superb (plush bed and sheets, 32" plasma, nice desk for the laptop) and the decor is clean (earth tones) with a nice open lobby that includes a hip bar.

Get your tastebuds ready! – Since I had heard such great things about the Driskill, I decided to go there for my birthday. In my opinion, this is some of the tastiest food in Austin! While the ambience is a bit stuffy and decorated in a fashion that is very antiquated, in my mind, the food is among the best there is. My husband and I each had the six-course menu, and every course tasted like heaven. Though I'd never heard of skate wing before, it was one of our courses (the courses are selected by the chef if you opt for the... read more

Not what we had hoped for - dissapointing – We ate at the Driskill in celebration of my wife's birthday and our experience was very dissapointing. After seeing the Chef on Iron Chef we were extremely excited about our trip to the Driskill. Not only was the service average but the menu was not that exciting and the food simply was not that good. We each went with the 3-course menu, my wife choosing the quail as her second course and it was awful. My steak was fatty and not that tasty. We love food and the Driskill is simply n... read more

peeling paint. – This hotel had peeling paint all over the room. Nice setting and interesting architecture, but I was horrified to see that it was in terrible state of disrepair. They desparately need attention.

Don't do it – The lobby is beautiful. The rooms are tiny and VERY expensive. The staff are arrogant and rude. I stayed there for my honeymoon and upon arrival did not have my wallet for them to "swipe my credit card." They would not let us check in, even after agreeing that I had given them my CC # when I made the reservation and would have charged it if we had not shown up! My wife had to write a check for the room! The room was a "suite" with a small, but nice balcony overlooking 6th St. The room itself was barely bigger t... read more

great for a bar visit but thats all – We stayed at the Driskill for one night on the 4rth floor - which is I believe part of the original part of the building, it was extremely cramped and the bathroom subpar (ive seen better for cheaper, which was disapointing because it was renovated) the room itself was charming tho. The bar and lobby are really great but you can walk in off the street to see that. The cafe wasnt all that great I felt, kinda cheesy - texan named dishes that werent texan quality. I will definatly visit the... read more

Great for a special night out! – I definitely understand why this restaurant was rated #1! Everything was absolutely spectacular. The waiters were informative and friendly. The food was so delicious and not over complicated like other fancy restaurants. I personally didn't think it was expensive at all, but I grew up in New York City. I highly recommend going for a special birthday or any celebration!
