Came to ATX for a busy weekend and this hotel was a perfect vibe in a perfect location! Located close to everything, I simply parked my car and had no further need of it during my stay! Big, luxurious room, impeccably clean, and a wonderful bed. Enjoyed the retro decor and cocktails on the patio overlooking Congress Ave. the staff were polite and professional and shared many local recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!

This is our second stay in a month. This hotel is well located and appointed. The restaurant is great. I received a note with our Expedia VIP extras and was upgraded to a suite. I’ve had the VIP amenities at other hotels disregarded and I appreciate that this hotel actually honors them.
