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.

Room was to dark even with all the lights on. Not enough privacy in the shower. Anyone in the bedroom could catch you take a shower. Did not like the industrial (or whatever the look is they’re going for) look they seem to have going on. Had big problem with Maie Day restaurant, they managers seemed to be a little weak on the concern.
