Location, location, location! It's in a great spot with lots of shops and delicious food. Everyone at the hotel was so nice and helpful. Our first room had a great view, but the bathroom only had warm water. They moved us to an interior room and the water was hot in the bath and shower. Overall, a great spot for a long weekend.

Pros: great location. Nice small pool area. Comfortable bed and linens. Cons: Room wasn’t ready for more than two hours after check in time. Hotel bar seems to frequently close for private events. Shower never got more than luke warm. Room had a funky mildew smell.

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.
