A perfect stay. Love the layout of hotel, pool and cafe. Would love to stay again.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

This hotel was very clean. The staff was very helpful and sweet. The property was absolutely gorgeous. The only problem we had was there was a dog boarding place behind the hotel and the dogs were barking like crazy when we were trying to sleep early in the morning. Of course, not the hotel’s fault but it was hard to sleep.

10/10 Exceptional

Great place for no-nonsense travelers who 1) will love the easy walk to the Palmer Center and other must-do Austin spots and 2) enjoy hanging out in the cafe, restaurant, and nearby bar where other creative folks are doing their thing. Nice balcony so I felt indoor/outdoor. Rooms are simple but clean and functional. Staff at the desk is super nice. Coffee shop opens a little late (7) but there's a starbucks across the street. I felt the lunch menu was a little short. Also, I had one great server and another time, meh... But the important stuff, including nice staff and a really nice look to the place, was all there.

Reminded me of a college dorm room. Comfortable bed and great shower. It had a balcony looking out over a dog training business.
