Check-in was fast. Breakfast options were nice. Bathroom and towels in my room could have been a little cleaner. But the pillows were great. If I'm in need of accommodations in this area again I would not hesitate to stay here.
We loved the stay plenty of room, we will definitely be back.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room had a very appealing layout. Clean and nice in kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and shower. I'll recommend to my sibs who will be visiting Austin in a month or so. Friendly staff from desk to breakfast to room service.
The room was nice, the a/c unit was so loud that it was difficult to sleep with ear plugs, and no hot water for the shower in the morning even after letting the water run for several minutes. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was good.
This is our second stay at this hotel. Rooms are very nice with lots of space to spread out and a full kitchen. Very convenient location for us. The bathroom could have used a good scrubbing!
We had a great stay. The best/weirdest/favorite part? The elevator was always open and ready for me to head up to my room. Staff was friendly and the area was ideal.
We stayed there for a couple of nights. Room was very clean and comfortable. We had our dog with us and they were very accommodating. There are many dining and shopping options in the area, some are walkable. We will be staying here again in the future.
