Lovely stay downtown Austin
Staff was very pleasant and friendly! Comfy beds and spacious rooms! This happens a lot in Austin, so it’s not just this hotel by paying $60 for an overnight parking is just a buzz kill. So we had to search for another parking option, but otherwise it was a very lovely stay! The bar/patio on the second floor was lovely and bartenders really know their craft :) There are plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and bars walking distance so it is a very convenient location if you are planning to do things around there.

The people make this place great!
Great stay. Good location. Service was attentive and crisp. As the bellman as he offloaded my bag in the room, he asked how long I was staying. When I mentioned that I needed to leave at 7 am the next day, he offered to come get my bags. Not only did he do so, but he had my car waiting out front. Special shout out to Rodney Hartfeld, the Rooms Director, who was very proactive and accommodating when there was a slight delay in my check-in process. This is now my go-to place in Austin.

Not bad but noted worth the price (cold water)
Older building and bathroom. Had to take two cold showers as water never heated up after waiting 5 minutes then another 5 throughout the shower. Next morning hot water came right on. They blamed it on the an old building but seems more like a hot water capacity issue.

Can't wait to stay again!
Perfect location and beautiful hotel. We were able to walk to ghost tour (highly recommend), art galleries, Comedy Mothership, restaurants, groceries, tourist attractions, and bars. Loved the terrace for morning coffee and evening cocktails, as well as dinner at the Roaring Fork. Can't wait to stay again!

Stayed for ACL
It was a great spot to stay for ACL and had a lot of cafes and stores to stop by quickly to grab a bite. I stayed here due to it being close to the free shuttles downtown. I just wish the prices weren't so high because of ACL.
