Cute, clean, no coffee

Super cute, staff is very nice. My only issue is that it’s impossible to get a free cup of coffee which is something I’ve never, ever experienced at a hotel. Instead you have to pay at the coffeeshop in the lobby. It’s over $5 for an Americano. I live in NYC and even I think that’s completely ridiculous.

I had a great time at Carpenter for a work trip. I loved my time there. I knocked off a star because I had to reach out for an inaccuracy on my bill. When you travel monthly for work it’s a bother to check back on missed details like this.

Easy parking, convenient location to the bridge and Barton springs. The rooms themselves are quiet (you won’t hear neighbors), but the hallway is super loud (you will hear every suitcase, door, and conversation from out there). It’s quality and clean with fun decor and amazing showers! The front desk staff are always super kind. Would stay again and recommend.
