Hotel Van Zandt

10/10 Excellent

"This was a sister‘s weekend getaway. We loved the look of the property from the moment we walked into the lobby. The staff was extremely helpful at check-in, Shout out to Shan. We also loved our room which had two queen beds, a separate sitting area, and double sinks in the bathroom, which with four women in the room was an absolute must have. we had dinner in the hotel restaurant, Geraldine‘s, we had the short ribs, the lobster tacos, the wedge salad, and for dessert the churros. Everything was absolutely fabulous. We also had brunch at Geraldine‘s on Sunday where they had live jazz performance. Again, our meals were fabulous, and the entertainment was superb. The location of the hotel, near Rainey Street, provided lots of options for other dining experiences and entertainment. I highly recommend this hotel."

The location was also convenient for getting around downtown Austin. Overall, it was a comfortable stay and I enjoyed my time here."
