Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests have praised the hotel for its fantastic location, which is convenient for exploring the vibrant surroundings of Austin, and many appreciated the high level of service provided by the staff. The hotel's modern design and amenities such as on-site restaurants and a pool added to the positive experience. However, several guests expressed frustration with additional undisclosed fees and raised concerns about the cleanliness of the pool, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable stay.

Daniel, Mar 2025
Pros (+) The location was amazing. The staff were accommodating and professional.
Cons (-) The street side can be a little loud. The room was incredibly humid most of the stay, which might bother some.

Pros (+) Friendly Staff and Nice rooms and comfortable beds. Also great location.
Cons (-) They were renovating the upstairs room and were hammering at 8:30am and then moving furniture (it sounded like) at 6:30am the next morning. There is also not coffee or tea in the rooms.

Pros (+) Great weekend stay. Friendly staff, very stylish room. The location is unbeatable, everything is just steps away. Cafe Manana has awesome coffee and pastries for breakfast. We'd stay here again.

John, Jan 2025
Pros (+) A perfectly adequate room in a perfectly adequate hotel. Was surprised to find condoms and lube alongside the peanuts and coffee. And the window between the bathroom and the bedroom gave an unobstructed view of the shower from the bed.
Cons (-) A bit impersonal, a little difficult to find from the street, and around a 25min wall from the centre of Austin.

Michael, Dec 2024
Pros (+) Excellent location. Rooms are spacious. Valet service was prompt and pleasant. Front desk as well. Local food options are very good.
Cons (-) There was a machinery noise in the hallway which was not addressed for three days, audible in my room. WiFi was slow to mediocre. Water was so soft it was almost impossible to wash soap off in the shower. Literally doubled my shower time and water usage (but this is common to almost all of Austin). Not enough electrical access points for computer, cell phone, smart watch, etc.
