โGreat oasis โ excellent service, fun restaurant and grounds. Nothing within walking distance is maybe the only con, but they offer free cars to borrow, so no issue there โ
โLovely communal areas, thoughtful design throughout, comfortable rooms, great beverage self-service for coffee, tea and sparkling waters, and friendly staff. A very nice experience!!!โ
โThe Retro Cowboy Villa was perfect for what we needed. Residential area but super convenient to many bars, restaurants as well as downtown and the airport.
Space was well decorated and had all the amenities we needed. The backyard was also phenomenal - great hang out space, amazing hot tub and cute lighting made the space picture perfect.
We ran into a few cleaning and sanitation issues while onsite which we reported to the host for future travelers and they mentioned they recently switched...
โNice comfy. It's not fancy. The room sweats a lot and my shower has low pressure. There is no meat on that breakfast.
However... great location, the bed lulled me to sleep...and the price was amazing.
Oh....and the staff is very nice. I'd stay there again. โ
โHi
Iโm a UT Austin alumni and this was a visit to Austin after 20 some yrs with my college son. The hotel had a sense of class and its connections with the univ brought me back memories of UT days.
As for thr accommodation, it was spacious in and out and overall it was nice. However, Iโd like to mention several things as to help improve the site.

2) The bathroom had a tint of...
โSince it is made of wood made by furniture, I was very surprised that a spoon-sized cockroach entered between the floor and the gap between the furniture. I'm from Korea, but there's no big cockroach in Korea. It was at least 3 times bigger! It's noisy around, but it's rather attractive because its wonderful bars and atmosphere to enjoy of Austin. The room is big and comfortable. The bedding is clean and the cushion is good.
*** Above all, if I visit this hotel again, I would like to praise...
โI got this hotel because itโs very close to UT Austin Universityโฆthey charge $40 to park inside their parking garage per night. There is no where to park close to the hotel. Very limited so itโs worth paying this. Breakfast is goodโฆomelette, scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit, oatmeal, bagelsโฆa lot of variety. As of today they were renovating the outside of hotel but no disturbances inside. I will be back. โ
โThe Heywood Hotel is a gem -- the property is beautiful and peaceful, the staff are so fun to chat with, and the personal touches left us with an experience that we will remember for a long time.โ
