The is the first review I have ever written - I felt inclined so as to help others. The walls of the hotel were paper thin - everything could be heard. That could have been lived with. The bad thing was the smell -- all of my belongings smelled like smoke even though it was a non-smoking room. The air conditioning stopped working twice. The humitity, for an indoor hotel, was way to high. The rooms were small. Maybe non of these things would have bugged me if the price charged for the room was in line with what it was offering.

I can't say enough about the Inter Continental Stephen F Austin! My wife booked a standard suite for our wedding anniversary and they upgraded us to the Governor's Suite at no extra cost!! That's a $2000 a night suite!! The Governor's Suite is just amazing!! Everyone at the hotel was very nice. We will definitely stay here again!

A very good experiance. Stayed in room 311. Room was as big as a suite and had thought it would be noisy, but windows are sound proof! Internet connection was $9.95.. should be free but otherwise this was very nice. The Guest service department delivered cookies and milk for my daughter which was special. Thanks to Alex the Concierge who typed out a personal itiniary for us. This place rocks!

This hotels location is the best in Austin. One block from 6th street which means it is a retreat from the loud noise but is only 1 block from the main entertainment district. Also seems to be the closest hotel to the Capital Building... only 3 blocks. The Club rooms are massive... and they really went out of their way to make my stay excellen.. The only bad thing was that there is only valet parking.. but I guess that is the same at all down town hotels ?

We booked our stay at the Stephen F. Intercontinental in Austin via Hotwire, and after taxes, paid $170 a night. We had stayed at the Intercontinental in San Francisco, which is VERY nice, so we were excited.

Yes, the standard room is tiny. Hey, I got a good price on Hotwire and was looking forward to my stay anyway. Now, the official Hotel Intercontinental website lists a "queen standard" room. THIS, my friend, was one double-sized bed being passed off as a queen. Husband and I were MISERABLE in it for the duration of our 2 night stay. I think it was on the "special floor" they reserve for Priceline and Hotwire people to punish them! I'm not going back...forget it.

Room at the hotel was small and cheaply furnished, Looked as if it had been furnished @ Garden Ridge pottery. Sheets did not fit bed, view overlooking the alley way and rooftop air conditioning units was not my idea of a $179.00 a night room. The hotel restaurant was more of a bar. The only positives about this property are the very gracious staff and the location. Not Intercontinental Hotels best property.

My last two stays are the hotel were disasters. The first of the two, I drove into the Austin area and the valet from the hotel parked my vehicle. I have a light cream interior and they got oil all over the seats and carpet.
