Great Stay Near Longhorn Campus!
Booked a quick weekend trip in to Austin to help our daughter set up her apartment while attending UT. We had stayed next door at The Otis before but this was our first stay at AC and we loved it! It was a bit quieter than Otis, conveniently located, and the accommodations were great. Small but very comfortable room, great check in process, and the housekeeping was outstanding. Also, had a great breakfast at Acre 41 with phenomenal service by Riley and team. Overall a great stay!!!

The stay was great, it was a little confusing to enter the parking garage but once inside check in was super fast, Jose who was at the front counter was extremely friendly. The rooms were also very clean and nice. Will definitely stay here again.

Really nice hotel with good amenities and very clean. Only thing that was a bit of a small inconvenience was that the AC did not get as cold as I wanted but overall very nice hotel that I would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful rooms and very helpful and polite staff. My son was performing at a state competition and AC Hotel let me leave my car in the parking garage, after checkout, so we would not have to worry about finding new parking and our son could concentrate on his upcoming speech au UT. We will stay at this hotel anytime we go back to Austin.
