Super comfortable, great choice!
Such an amazing stay, the ambience is so relaxing and it is in Downtown Austin. If you’re not from the area this might sound a little scary but honestly it felt so secure and peaceful. It was walking distance from the Moody Amphitheater which I didn’t see advertised but it’s about a ten minute walk more or less. Seriously if you’re not from the area just ask the front desk and it’s about two blocks away, which is the same amount you’d walk if you parked near the stadium anyways. The room was incredibly clean and stylish, so many lamps if you like having light. We were able to adjust the AC and it worked great which is a must for these Texas summers. The staff were so kind and helpful and just so cheerful it made our stay so much better. The property is well maintained and the restaurant by the pool had a great variety of food that was delicious. If you get a credit towards food with your stay I definitely recommend spending it at the restaurant since you do have to spend it in one sitting. Overall I have zero complaints, this was a great choice for Austin and the amenities included really make the price worth it.

This was our first time in Austin.The hotel looks really nice if you are thinking of booking here just valet park . I self parked and I was still charged 45.47 for parking so I received another charge on top of the booking. When I checked in and out I told them I self parked so I don’t understand… To avoid this I would say just go ahead and valet park and know you will receive that charge.
