The room and bathroom were clean. The staff was courteous and helpful. The breakfast bar was not used.We left the room at 5 am for a medical appointment. The coffee machine in the room did not work 🙄. The ice machine on the floor was also not working 😳. I paid for valet parking when I paid for my stay. Now the parking company Metropolis is wanting charge me for my use of the parking. No happy.

The location was perfect for what we wanted to visit while in Austin. Friendly service and cozy beds. The hot water had issues there first couple days so no hot shower but it was eventually fixed. I liked the sister property having a bar and restaurant onsite.

We were given an upgraded room which was excellent! Very clean and lots of space! The only downside was the expensive parking. I think the hotel should provide some discount for people staying there -especially since the first several levels were empty for valet use only
