Shower had a clear window to the room. No blackout curtains. Water took a long time to get hot. Nightstand lamp constantly flickered like a strobe light. Women’s public restroom in lobby didn’t lock. Location was perfect.

The grounds are nice, but the rooms lack some basic bathroom amentities (i.e., q-tips, shower caps etc) and a true closet. The rooms are also not business-friendly. My internet went out during multiple calls, and there were only two useful outlets (one under the desk where the TV is, and one next to the bed) and no USB / USB-C ports. Didn't have a chance to use the gym or pool. Drip coffee served downstairs in the morning.

Beautiful modern hotel in the perfect Austin location! I was upgraded to a suite on the top floor with a pool view which was gorgeous, and the $40 credit to use was a great bonus. You’re within blocks of some of the most iconic spots on South Congress - highly recommend!

4/10 Fair
The first night was lovely. The second night was a nightmare. There was a wedding that kept me up half the night. When I called the desk, they initially apologized for the “raucous” party happening in the courtyard below me. They promised they would cut off the music by 10:00, then 10:30, then 11:00, and finally around 11:30 they said they were doing the “send-off” which apparently included sparklers. So I was lying in bed listening to 1) fights between guests and 2) guests expressing concerns about SETTING THE TREES ON FIRE WITH THE SPARKLERS. So, please don’t believe that the rooms are soundproofed as it says on the website.

I came to Austin for a one night trip to spread my father‘s ashes on his college campus that he loved so dearly. The hotel staff did not know this, but upgraded me upon my arrival to the Milton suite which was the most magnificent hotel room I’ve ever stayed in! It made my state that much more memorable and special.
