The service is is fine, it's just not returned to the amazing levels it was at pre-covid - like everyone else finding and retaining staff right now is a problem. TBH, if you're coming in from SoCal and ok going international, consider keep flying down to Mexico (Cancun / Playa del Carmen). It's a short hop from any of the Texas airports and some great Hyatt properties down there.
Yeah - Mexico would've been our first choice -- but with a party of five most of the Mexico all-inclusives would require just to book two rooms which pushes the budget out of our comfort zone.
We'll definitely be in Austin proper meeting up with friends for part of the trip. Snagged some of the last rooms at the HR -- apparently MotoGP is in town and rooms are nuts for that weekend.
