This hotel is in a historic home. It’s beautiful and the front desk staff is fantastic. Unfortunately they did not have hot water in the hotel and the valet was atrocious. We waited more than 35 minutes for our car.
Very nice staff, Isaac was great. Such a cute hotel. Clean room and loved the balcony.

Such a cute hotel! A little challenging getting ready in the morning as the vanity is just a sink without much space. Had a great breakfast there at the restaurant. Beds were comfortable and pretty quiet. Very charming!
Great location, beautiful old mansion built out to individualized hotel rooms. Friendly staff, good coffee, great shower, comfy bed. What's not to love?
Lovely pool area that feels like an urban retreat in the middle of Austin. Staff was friendly.

The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. Carpets are quite dirty in the hallways. Reception wasn’t rude but also wasn’t super welcoming either.

Room and staff were good. Parking was efficient but too expensive and separate billing meant more paperwork. Hotel was helpful when needed.
We love this hotel. Super comfortable room and wonderful restaurant, bar and poolside. Excellent location. More comfortable and spacious than other West Campus hotels.
The room and hotel were very clean, and the staff was courteous. The internet password was not provided and I couldn't reach the front desk by phone to get it, nor was anyone available when I walked down to desk.
Nice, small, boutique hotel. Walkable to campus, AT&T conference center, many shops/places to eat. I always enjoy staying in west campus as a for Longhorn parent. Bed was comfy, good pillows.
Room was great—clean, comfortable, and attractive. However our main issue came from the valet protocol. Please advertise valet only and or mention options of parking on the street. If valet is only possible, include it in nightly fee. The current system is misleading and appears to simply be a cash grab
Very cute hotel, beautiful rooms and nice pool. The bartender was awesome and we had a nice dinner and cocktails without having to leave the hotel. Would stay again if in Austin.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
The staff was not at all friendly or helpful. Rather than opening the door for me when my hands were full they walked away. The room was just ok. The bed pillows were overdue for replacement. They were flat and old. The room was clean. The door did not close easily. The location is great and close to downtown and north Austin but being close to campus also meant the nights were a little noisy.
