"The hotel was"

The Code Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My new go to hotel when I’m in Austin"

The Carpenter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for no-nonsense travelers who 1) will love the easy walk to the Palmer Center and other must-do Austin spots and 2) enjoy hanging out in the cafe, restaurant, and nearby bar where other creative folks are doing their thing. Nice balcony so I felt indoor/outdoor. Rooms are simple but clean and functional. Staff at the desk is super nice. Coffee shop opens a little late (7) but there's a starbucks across the street. I felt the lunch menu was a little short. Also, I had one great server and another time, meh... But the important stuff, including nice staff and a really nice look to the place, was all there."
