Hotel was well kept and just like the photos. Barton Springs was an easy walk with a lot of food options near by. Totally walkable to downtown Austin too! They make you pay for parking on site which isn’t listed here and was a little disappointing. Otherwise, an awesome stay and would stay again!

Relaxing oasis inside Austin.

With all the extra charges at check in and check out, (without room-service) one might be better off to book the room directly with the hotel instead of an off-site platform, no savings, but worth it. Pool area is really great. the place has an authentic Austin vibe. Staff are among the best. We will stay here again.

Very “Austin-y.” Old school converted to hotel. As such, the room felt a little like a classroom. But overall thoughtfully appointed Staff was great

I really loved everything about this hotel. I got to enjoy the saltwater pool. The restaurant and cafe all had fantastic food and beverages. Aesthetically very cool inside and out. All of the staff were so friendly and made me feel right at home. Location was perfect as I was able to run in zilker park and walk to Barton Springs for a swim.

Every single staff member I met was gleeful and helpful. Rooms are great, elevators quick, food is phenomenal (do they have a Michelin chef there?). I can’t say enough great things. I’m 60 and feared I was going to be aged out by the under crowd, but never felt younger. Keep up the great work

The hotel was easy to find and located where we could easily visit all the places we wanted to go. The restaurant was amazing, and the rooms were comfortable, but the coffee shop was overcrowded. It would have been nice to take our laptops and sit with our morning coffee, but it was really crowded. The bar was a nice alternative, but we had our teenage son with us, and he wasn't comfortable with this option.

Great stay. Staffs were really nice and helpful. We got upgraded when checked in. Highly recommended

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.
