We had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Austin. The location was perfect, allowing us to easily walk to the downtown touristy bits, bars, and restaurants. The staff, especially Sebastian, who emailed us prior to arrival and checked us in, were impeccable - very attentive and offered great suggestions. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a well-maintained pool area in the basement and a great deck on the 2nd floor. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep.
