The property itself and the staff were great. Really cute hotel and eight in the thick of things. Saying that, it’s a bit noisy outside and while it’s next to fun bars and restaurants, it’s also next door to a homeless shelter so juts be alert if you’re out at night.

Pictures are deceiving

Was disappointed with everything the hotel advertised. Happy Hour 4-7 by the pool but the bar was closed. Restaurant was okay nothing major no cocktails offered. Rooms are tiny have a wallpaper slap on. Outdated appliance, no coffee no tea no microwave. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and small and the AC unit kept making a loud noise every time it would turn on or off.

Not like the first time I stayed there

Floor was sticky by my fridge. Sink gurgled every 15-20 minutes all day. Toilet would run every-so-often (like the seal was no good. The a.c. vent would rattle even when the a.c wasn't running. I don't complain about much but it was a lot of little things that just added up.

Great price and value for the stay. Close to all the bars and restaurants, and close to East Austin. Room was overall clean. Only complaint is for the bars. There is a pool bar but it doesn't open until 4pm, even on the weekends. The lobby bar is closed between lunch and dinner hours. Very odd for a boozy town like Austin!

Checked in and got the wrong room, giving us one bed for four people. They were unable to accommodate us for any of the nights that we were there. They promised us certain things throughout our stay and did not communicate with staff to relay that information, so we had to have the same conversation over and over with staff just to be rejected each time.

Nice clean hotel. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Nice pool but no hot tub. Slow service in the restaurant but good breakfast. Not much live music or entertainment. There are 2 outdoor live music venues right beside this hotel that can make sleeping very difficult if you like to sleep before midnight. The hotel manager was very quick to find us a more quiet room though, so 5 points for that.

One night for college visit

The room was clean and the valet service was well organized. There was not a self park option. The hotel was in walking distance of fun things to do downtown. There was street noise and music late into the night, so not a quiet location. The air conditioner was loud, but it kept the room cool. The phone did not work in the room and it was difficult to reach the front desk for assistance on our mobile .
