Nice Stay
Nice stay with helpful team of employees. Valet parking is expensive @ $55 but very fast and helpful. There is a city parking garage next door on 7th .. likely where they were parking my car so i could have saved some money had I noticed it earlier!
Nice service, great location, and clean.

Parking for 55 bucks
$55 parking is enough to not come back but overall we enjoyed the room. Great steakhouse and 2nd floor bar/balcony was super nice.

Hotel a la carte.
Overall the hotel was clean, And quite nice but everything was charged on an individual basis. If you wanted a refrigerator it would be $10 to have it sent to the room, no microwave in the room. I had to go down to the lobby to use theirs. Also, the worst of all was parking was not included. Although they do have a parking lot connected to the hotel, you had to pay $55 a night for valet parking. $55 for something I could have done at a parking garage that was connected to the hotel. I hate when hotels advertise a great price and then charge you an outrageous fee for parking and don't tell you that up front.

Lovely stay downtown Austin
Staff was very pleasant and friendly! Comfy beds and spacious rooms!
This happens a lot in Austin, so it’s not just this hotel by paying $60 for an overnight parking is just a buzz kill. So we had to search for another parking option, but otherwise it was a very lovely stay!
The bar/patio on the second floor was lovely and bartenders really know their craft :)
There are plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and bars walking distance so it is a very convenient location if you are planning to do things around there.

The people make this place great!
Great stay. Good location. Service was attentive and crisp. As the bellman as he offloaded my bag in the room, he asked how long I was staying. When I mentioned that I needed to leave at 7 am the next day, he offered to come get my bags. Not only did he do so, but he had my car waiting out front. Special shout out to Rodney Hartfeld, the Rooms Director, who was very proactive and accommodating when there was a slight delay in my check-in process. This is now my go-to place in Austin.
