Kimpton Hotel Van Zandt

Very noisy

Ventajas: Pleasant surroundings.

Desventajas: People in hall and next door making tons of noise at 4 am.

Cool place but still needs tweaking

Ventajas: The bar /pool area and restaurant were cool. Very cool crowd

Desventajas: If you stay close to Rainey street be prepared not to sleep- clubs and bars from down below will keep you up-music was very loud.

Ventajas: The hotel is beautiful and well designed. Staff was friendly. "Wine hour" was fun, and very popular the night we were there. Bikes are free to rent and a great way to travel around the neighborhood.

Desventajas: Upsold to "lake view" room where you can really only see a sliver of the lake. It should be called "pool view" and on the weekend we stayed, the "pool view" is not relaxing or romantic. The rooms aren't quiet, you can hear everything that happens in the hallway. Valet was expensive ($36 + tip in Austin!) and slow due to volume of folks checking out. Cars are parked in an uncovered lot across the street.

Great location, amazing staff, beautiful hotel!

Ventajas: The view in our room overlooked the lake & it was simply gorgeous! The staff was very friendly and very attentive. We brought our dog & she was the star of the show. They provided a dog bed & food bowls for her. The beds were so comfortable!

Desventajas: Our bathrooms got clogged twice (not by any extra doing on our part). And our refrigerator never got cold so leftovers had to get thrown away from our dinner earlier that day. Geraldine's gets pretty packed at night, at least inside & there's one fireplace outside we tried to huddle around to keep warm.
