The hotel is comforting, like stepping out of today’s busy world into a slower place under the pecan trees with a patio and a pool out of the 1960s

We stayed for a couple of nights in April. It is a very interesting property. The main area and restaurant are pretty cool. The area with the rooms is very different but comfortable enough.

Stayed here for a wedding. Overall very pleased. Extremely friendly staff. Only (minor) complaints is pool got crowded and had extremely loud music when I would have preferred to read. And no good lobby sitting area. But I would definitely stay again.

A hidden gem set back from a busy intersection. Easy walk to restaurants, parks and walking trails along the Colorado river. Staff was warm and accommodating. Excellent on-site coffee shop and restaurant.

The property was overall nice to stay at. However, there was a power outage that lasted almost two hours on Thursday night, which severely impacted our stay and made the last night (and following morning) tough. It was unfortunate in that we felt like a big chunk of our stay was hampered by the power outage.

Cute design… retro… industrial. Staff are all friendly… chill vibe. A/C blower motor in room sounded like an overloaded clothes washer on spin cycle… given the presence of ear plugs and a white noise machine in the room, the noise level is apparently known to the hotel. Guests should also be aware of the adjacent dog day care facility and be prepared for the early AM barking. All in all, we would stay again but we would definitely request a room AWAY from the doggie day care and one with a quiet a/c system.

Relaxing stay as a solo female traveller chilling in Austin for a few days. Rooms were great and had a stocked mini bar but docking a star for no in room coffee. The hotel has a cafe but was so busy in the mornings. Even just an Nespresso machine would’ve been nice! Restaurant food was really good but service slow. Pool was lovely and could order drinks and food direct from the hotel bar and restaurant.
