    When I go to the movies, my preference is definitely Alamo Drafthouse! The environment is vintage, quirky, and very friendly. I love seeing all the retro commercials or movie clips of the actors or the theme of the movie prior to the movie. Some of those old clips are down right funny, and often I have never seen them before. And the food is the best! I look forward to going to the movie not only to see my feature but also to eat. That's not something I say when going to other theaters. And I haven't had anything I didn't thoroughly enjoy.

    Alien display out in lobby! So cool!

    First time here. The theatre is nice! Clean. Staff is friendly. We ordered fried pickle spears. The best! Ordered the Watermelon margarita, so tasty! Seating reclines & is comfortable! Great experience!

    Had a nice experience enjoying the movie. Staff attentive and loaded fries were good. Unlimited popcorn!!

    I haven't been to an Alamo Drafthouse in Y E A R S but just will say, this is not the environment I am looking for EVEN when I come in to simply enjoy a draft. Alex at the bar was nice. He entertained me with conversation. But the reality, the dynamic between everyone working reassured me to not come back. The man pictured offered nothing bad energy whilst standing around the bar. He demanded things. Offered rude commentary without request. And didn't seem to enjoy, in any sense, being here. Now let me get back to the food, drinks, and service. The 512 Pecan Porter treated me more than well! And the chicken cedar wrap!!! My my. Worth the price because this thing is ginormous! The food and drink are great! If you're a service person? Don't come to enjoy yourself at the bar before hand. You'll end up questioning your choice in venue. I won't be back. And it is solely because the service team wasn't together. They weren't a team. I felt the anger. I felt the frustration. I felt the resentment. I saw the pow wows around the corner where they held private dialogue about situation after situation. And it was unsettling. Thanks for a great beer and tasty wrap! And good luck keeping people coming back. The team work is there. But it's clear that it is provided with resentment. Why would anyone want to feel that? Not me after a 10 hour shift looking for good eats and a cold beer.

    This location is very clean and comfortable. The only con was as great as the service was for my neighbors it seemed almost a one star Rating for our order. It was overlooked during our entire film service, and we were even brought others orders 2x. Thankfully, the service at the bar was exceptional!

    Empty promises at  Alamo.

    Showed up early to a special movie for a great party movie & bam waiter is too much. Speaks too fast, makes one suggestion on beer & shoves menu at us. Says look. Fine, no problem but just rude. Literally only 2 other tables on a Tuesday. Love the Alamo Drafthouse hated this experience.

    Hallway to the theaters.

    How much does a ticket cost?

    For an adult evening showing, online purchase is 11.50 plus 1.59 convenience fee. Matinee is $6.50 and then I think Tuesdays are $5 all day. I think convenience fee applies to all, not sure if that's just online purchases or in person purchases.

We didn't want to make a big deal of it so we shifted over to the next few seats, but then a group arrived and let us know that those were their assigned seats. So we got up and moved to the top row, where all of the seats were broken. Recliner didn't work nor did the button to notify the staff. Throughout the movie there was a loud disturbing banging behind us. Also the service was extremely slow. It took an hour to receive my food and when I did, this was the presentation and the food was cold. The brisket was sparse and the tots barely had barbecue sauce. The bathrooms were filthy. Trash everywhere and the stalls had fluids on the wall. It was very uncomfortable. My friend and I went to speak to the manager, Miguel, who did not accept any accountability for the quality of the service and the overall experience. He repeatedly mentioned that we could've gotten up and gotten a staff member for our issues. Why should we as guests get up in the middle of the movie several times to tell the staff how to do their job? Piss poor service. I do not recommend this theater and won't be back.

We had ordered the tickets in advance and you pre-select your seats. We ordered popcorn before the show. The lady at the concession stand was very nice and she provided extra bowls so it was easy to share the popcorn. The popcorn was delicious! Sadly, a few of our reclining seats did not recline. We probably could have moved since there was an abundance of empty seats. There couldn't have been more than 10 other patrons at our showing. We decided to just stay in our pre-selected seats. The restrooms were deplorable! In all, we enjoyed the movie and our time together, but this theater is in desperate need of renovations.

Plus it's free refills. + Online booking is easy and hassle free + Now for what needs improvement... - the service is usually pretty awful. I've sat in the theatre, button pushed, waiting for someone to take my order for over 20min - we've had moments where there was ONE employee in the entire building over 21yrs old so that ONE person was the only one who could deliver drinks to the entire theatre - whaaat?! - the servers never seem to want to be there and their attitude usually reflects the poor management of the overall place - the bathrooms are barely clean and usually out of paper towels if you're there on a weekend - I'm usually charged for something I didn't order or overcharged for something I did - The showtimes are all over the place and over the past year the kid or family movies are never during the day or a reasonable afternoon/evening time I'm also disappointed to see they got rid of their Kids Summer Series - we used to wait in line with a few other families for those movies.

Expect to pay entrée prices for appetizers with over priced entrees. Our recent visit this week ended up with an appetizer and one entrée... which already felt steep but the real kicker was paying $9 for a Diet Coke!!! To top it all off... after getting our food in the first 10 minutes we never saw our server again and my drink stood empty for the second half of the movie. Their royalty program is also not really worth it compared to others. If you're looking for a more upscale experience one time and don't mind the bill this will probably fit your needs... however if you're a regular moviegoer I would suggest one of the alternatives.

We arrived a bit early, so we grabbed a couple of drinks while waiting for the rest of our group. I ordered a double Tito's and cranberry--it was made perfectly and definitely hit the spot. Once we headed inside, it looked like seating was first-come, first-served, but we had opted for the VIP tickets. Having those reserved spots gave us a fantastic view of the stage; I highly recommend going the VIP route if you can! The show itself was top-tier. The openers had great sets that really warmed up the room, and then the "Queen" herself, Kelly Kells, took the stage. It has been a long time since I've laughed that hard! I was so grateful we chose this night to head out. In terms of the venue, everything was clean and well-maintained.

Front door, bar tender, tour guide etc all so funny and kind which is why we'll be back for a show even though not for this tour. First of all, this is advertised online as a 75 minute tour. So when we ended after 45 minutes I was a bit disappointed to say the least. Barely 45 minutes too as we stopped once for a "photo op in a mural tunnel" and again go tell our own ghost stories to each other. It was also advertised as a funny comedic ghost tour with lots of stories. Our guide tried his best at some jokes about his ex Tammy, which were cute, but really struggled with the ghost aspect. There really weren't any ghost stories. He kept referencing the "broken hearts tour" as if we were going to hear some tortured stories of relationships, but we didn't. Additionally, we signed up for the "Hidden Hauntings Ghost Walk". So I think they've got a little bit too much going on to be well organized enough to coordinate this as a success. The EMFs were a bit gimmicky but what was worse was the fact that it was during the bright daylight? The vibe was strange but again, the staff were so kind so we didn't walk away upset ‍. Tl:dr ghost tour not as advertised but staff were nice enough that I'm sure other things they do are fun.

My husband stayed here for a business trip and used the hotel's valet service. When the vehicle was returned, significant damage was found to the passenger-side rear rim. This was reported immediately to both the valet staff and hotel management on-site. We were told we would receive follow-up within 24 hours. That follow-up never happened. Over a week later, after multiple phone calls and speaking with several different staff members, we were given conflicting information. One person assured us the damage would be taken care of, while a supervisor later told us we would need to file the claim through our own insurance -- despite the damage occurring while the vehicle was in the care of the hotel's valet. This is unacceptable. Asking a guest to pay a deductible and risk increased insurance premiums for damage they did not cause shows a serious lack of professionalism and responsibility. What's most frustrating is not just the damage itself, but the poor communication, broken promises, and unwillingness to stand behind their services. For a brand like Westin and Marriott, this level of service is shocking. We are now forced to escalate this issue through corporate channels due to the hotel's failure to resolve it appropriately. I would strongly caution future guests against using valet at this property and would not recommend this hotel based on our experience.
