Great location from downtown, far enough away to not being around busy downtown areas but not to far to not be apart of it. Close to shops and centers and restaurants all in walking distance. I just wish parking wasnt so expensive prefer free parking for a place i am actually staying but give a discount we are staying there.

My son has been experiencing nightmares and bedwetting since the traumatic incident involving the SWAT team on our floor. The entire situation unfolded directly across from our room, and it was an incredibly distressing experience for both of us.

Ok but I wouldn’t stay again

Only one elevator was working when we arrived and was not fixed while we were there, the key cards kept deactivating, it was very difficult to get in and out of the parking garage because of the key cards, the food was ok, staff were friendly for the most part, parking is so expensive! It was ok for a couple of nights but I would not stay there again.

Friendly staff, rooms very clean. Some of the physical plant a little bit worn or run-down (couch cushions, staircases, parking garage). Breakfast is nice and pretty varied, and staff kept everything supplied and neat. Free afternoon reception a nice plus - drinks are small but can't complain about a free drink. Very convenient to downtown and S. Congress (and the bat bridge) and Barton Springs area.
