Our room was spotless, the beds comfortably, the staff kind and gracious. The location was perfect for us. Short walk to the local bars and restaurants. The property is well maintained and the grass area is the perfect place to unwind. Oh and the lobby was so beautiful. Will definitely recommend to friends and family

Staff courteous, clean rooms. Beautiful views of Texas Capitol. I wish they had more handouts/ flyers with activities to do in Austin and surroundings. Internet information is great on activities, however it lacked that certain places required a reservation (Pedernales falls or West Caves).

Great hotel. Hit and miss with staff friendliness. Check-in guy was excellent. Check-out guy looked like he’d taken a bite out of a lemon. Room wasn’t serviced on one of the days, despite a confirmed housekeeping request. Would stay there again though.

Rooms were cute but air conditioning is not very cold. It was very humid in our room on the 12th floor. I did not see anything about how much parking was, and it’s ridiculous. Also, a lot of the finishes are worn, paint is chipped and carpet looks dirty.
