Not very roomy.
"Room is ok for a 1 night stay or multiple if you are traveling alone. The new modern micro hotel room was not for me. The shower leaked out to the sink area and there was hair and nail clippings all over the floor which shows that the cleaning staff didn’t do a good job at least in my room."

1/5 - Terrible

Ruben

Pubic hair on shower head, hair on towels, hair on utensil towel. Food and excursions were way overpriced. Definitely not coming back to Lakeway Resort, if it can even be called a resort.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

I kept thinking I was in souls Southern California. Look, I love Austin. I lived there for a decade. But I had to go to a funeral in Lakeway so I stayed at the closest, reasonably place I could find. I made a huge mistake.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

I've never been to a hotel that didn't allow kids in the hot tub. I'm not a picky person at all. That amenity should be accessible to everyone.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Pretty area. I was there for a family wedding so did not look around and tour at all.

5/5 - Excellent
