Convenient location
Nicole, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The only complaint I have was that the live music from Stubb's next door seemed to be amplified by the air conditioner vent on the wall in the corner on the 5th floor. It sounded like a speaker. I could make out every word from the songs they were playing and it kept me up
Tracey, 2-night trip

MARIA THELMA, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was well a good layout. It's very close and walkable to the state capitol, Joe's Coffee and a couple restaurants. There were some people lingering around the hotel that made me a little uncomfortable, but overall, not bad. I would stay there again.
Amber, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great hotel to stay at in downtown Austin. Room was great. The only problem is you got the be paying parking every time you’re in and out of hotel.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast was good and it changed daily. Bed felt nice and I liked how the friendly staff was. Paying for parking while staying at a hotel is criminal for sure

It was a great stay the shower could use some work and they roemoved some pad I assume and had this gross yellow stain but otherwise the room was clean and great and helpful staff.
Johnathan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Overall it’s a good place to stay, convenient, and clean, but didn’t like the $35 a day for parking. I believe parking should be included with our stay
