$55 parking is enough to not come back but overall we enjoyed the room. Great steakhouse and 2nd floor bar/balcony was super nice.

Overall the hotel was clean, And quite nice but everything was charged on an individual basis. If you wanted a refrigerator it would be $10 to have it sent to the room, no microwave in the room. I had to go down to the lobby to use theirs. Also, the worst of all was parking was not included. Although they do have a parking lot connected to the hotel, you had to pay $55 a night for valet parking. $55 for something I could have done at a parking garage that was connected to the hotel. I hate when hotels advertise a great price and then charge you an outrageous fee for parking and don't tell you that up front.

Staff was very pleasant and friendly! Comfy beds and spacious rooms! This happens a lot in Austin, so it’s not just this hotel by paying $60 for an overnight parking is just a buzz kill. So we had to search for another parking option, but otherwise it was a very lovely stay! The bar/patio on the second floor was lovely and bartenders really know their craft :) There are plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and bars walking distance so it is a very convenient location if you are planning to do things around there.

Great stay. Good location. Service was attentive and crisp. As the bellman as he offloaded my bag in the room, he asked how long I was staying. When I mentioned that I needed to leave at 7 am the next day, he offered to come get my bags. Not only did he do so, but he had my car waiting out front. Special shout out to Rodney Hartfeld, the Rooms Director, who was very proactive and accommodating when there was a slight delay in my check-in process. This is now my go-to place in Austin.

Older building and bathroom. Had to take two cold showers as water never heated up after waiting 5 minutes then another 5 throughout the shower. Next morning hot water came right on. They blamed it on the an old building but seems more like a hot water capacity issue.

It was a great spot to stay for ACL and had a lot of cafes and stores to stop by quickly to grab a bite. I stayed here due to it being close to the free shuttles downtown. I just wish the prices weren't so high because of ACL.

Perfect location and beautiful hotel. We were able to walk to ghost tour (highly recommend), art galleries, Comedy Mothership, restaurants, groceries, tourist attractions, and bars. Loved the terrace for morning coffee and evening cocktails, as well as dinner at the Roaring Fork. Can't wait to stay again!

The service at check in and check out was very good. The basic functionality and shape of the room could use some help though. The toilet clogged three times and there's no plunger to fix it yourself. There were also several pieces of furniture that were worn out with torn fabric and such around the room. There was also a strong odor in the bedroom that we couldn't find the origin of.

This hotel was PERFECT for the 3-day event I was attending! Several sessions were conducted NEXT door at the famous Paramount Theater. Other sessions were along Congress Ave right in front of the hotel (the streets were blocked fair-style). And it was only 1 block from the host hotel. The staff was cordial, helpful and responded to every request I had.

The hotel itself is great. The staff is great. The location is perfect if you are looking to party and see the nightlife in Austin. BUT... I didn't expect to have to pay an additional $55.00 per vehicle, per night for parking. Maybe I'm naive, but when i pay a couple hundred a night for a room, i expect to be able to park my car cheaper than that.

The staff was very friendly but the room was right on top of an ally filled with dumpsters that were picked up by a dump truck daily at 3 am. Super noisy. The hotel was not full at all so we are disappoint they woken put us in such an unsavory room.

Upon check-in, we were very impressed with the charm and character of the property. Arriving in our room, the lights did not work, later on not knowing we learned the hard way that our refrigerator did not work. They said it was not a refrigerator. it was part of the wet bar. Who put the refrigerator there and it not work!? we went to dinner downstairs at the steak restaurant, it was excellent! Not knowing the refrigerator did not work we lost all our leftovers over $200 of food. Decided to go sit in the hot tub after dinner to find out it has not worked in a long time. The sign that says it’s down for service, dust on it! The pool was ice cold. The next morning I brought my concerns to the front desk only to receive attitude so I told him just to charge my car and I walked away. They overcharged me because I haven’t picked up the truck and they called it an oversized vehicle.

We LOVE THIS HOTEL!!! It is not only a superb location & can walk EVERYWHERE, it is ful of well appointed art, furnishings, historical pieces, and design. The rooms are awesome (we upgraded to a suite on 11th FL) and those views were right at the Capital! The patio/deck on 2nd floor wraps on both sides overlooking the streets and people watching is great from there! Hot ub was not working, but pool and work out room was nice. SERVICE WAS (& ALWAYS IS) AMAZING!!!
