Room was spacious and stylish. Great view of pool from large terrace. City street noise was not an issue from our position. Very friendly staff. Restaurant cafe was delicious. They do have self parking in the garage below but thought $45 dollars was a bit on the pricy side. There is paid street parking available that you can pay from your phone. The area is safe with lots of restaurants, shops, bars, all within walking distance. Even the walk to the river was within reach. We would definitely consider staying here again.

We love this hotel so much we’ve made it an annual tradition to stay when we visit Austin (a city with a LOT of great hotel options). This last visit exceeded our expectations in terms of the room and hospitality of the staff. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you would like to be within walking distance of great dining and shopping.

Stylish and comfortable hotel. Almost too cool, the rooms have definite “mood lighting” and feel a little too dark to me! Nice pool, great bathroom.

Love the look of the hotel. Great restaurants. Excellent service in all areas. The hotel is in a prime spot to check out a lot of shops, bars, restaurants and clubs. Safe neighborhood.
One caveat, what’s with the ice? Really missed having ice in the room.
