The hotel felt like a cozy apartment rather than just a room, with a slightly dark ambiance. The service was exceptional and felt like being at home, especially with the delightful free happy hour. The location was a little oasis in the city with lovely gardens. The dining options were ample, though lacking meat choices and pancakes/waffles. The facilities were well beyond expectations.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were huge, more like a condo, and very nice and comfortable. The full-sized refrigerator was a great convenience. However, they were a little dated, and the location, although serene, was a bit distant from the city center in an area undergoing renovation.

My stay at this hotel in north Austin was a quiet and affordable option with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen.

The hotel offers spacious rooms that are clean and amazing for the price, although some areas like the rug and kitchen cupboards looked a bit worn. The service is attentive, helpful, and engaging. The location is beautifully secluded, like an oasis in the city, though it might be a bit far from downtown Austin. Dining options are fantastic, exceeding expectations, but the breakfast ends early. The facilities are excellent.

If you want a place with spacious rooms and a great location near good restaurants, this hotel is a good option. The rooms, while a bit tired, offer privacy for families or friends traveling together, complete with a couch. The service was mostly fantastic, although there was one incident during breakfast. The location, although isolated without a car, serves its purpose with a proximal spot to I-35. The dining experience was brilliant, but improvements could be made in accommodating hungry guests. The facilities are overall positive with some minor issues.

The hotel's rooms are very outdated and in need of redecorating. Unfortunately, the plumbing is noisy, and there is little sound barrier between walls and floors, leading to a disruptive stay. On the upside, the location is quiet and welcoming, though slightly isolated from downtown. The dining experience is excellent with a variety of dishes, but the early closure time is not ideal for vacationers.

My stay at the hotel felt like a little apartment with all the comfort and convenience of home. The rooms were spacious and clean, but the wooden furniture could use some upgrading. The service was helpful and staff were attentive and friendly. The location, while not near downtown Austin, had a tropical feel with beautiful plants and a lovely small pool area. The dining experience was enjoyable with a good selection of breakfast options. Overall, a comfortable stay with great value for money.

The hotel felt secluded and private even in the middle of the city. The rooms were in much need of repairs and didn't supply enough air to the upstairs room to be as cold as the bottom level. The service was extremely insensitive and caused great embarrassment, but on a positive note, they remembered my name at checkout the next morning. The location was very convenient for our long weekend, but slightly out of town. The dining experience was incredibly good with vegetarian and vegan options available. The facilities were lacking in maintenance.
