Great place, modern,very clean, super breakfast

Very clean and modern hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good, definitely among the best free breakfasts I've had - stuff like cheese omelettes, biscuits and gravy, fresh chocolate milk, stuff like that. The A/C worked very well, which is a must for Austin in the summer -- got our room downright cold even. Wi-fi worked and was easy to connect to. Neighborhood was central to the things we wanted to do. Only negative thing I could say is that there's a homeless problem in the area that manifests itself after dark. One guy in particular was laying on top of a trash can and shouting a lot. But can't really fault the hotel for that. Just sorta is what it is in an urban downtown area.

Great Overnight Stay!

We were in town for a concert at the Moody Center and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The hotel lobby smells amazing! Our room was very clean and beds were very comfortable. The fridge and microwave came in handy for our leftovers. Jonathan at the front desk was very welcoming and even gave us a list of recommendations! That was a very nice touch. Our rideshare to the Moody Center was only around 6 or 7 dollars so not bad at all. We have zero complaints and look forward to staying there again for our next concert.

All was good until the light in the bathroom started POURING water in the middle of the night and FLOODED our bathroom/entry way. We didn’t know anything was going on. About 7am someone tried to open our door and said Maintenance. They didn’t knock or even come back. Thank gosh I had the lock on the door locked so it stopped them from coming in. My husband and I sleep nude. I would have been so embarrassed/mortified had they entered the room. When I awoke and walked to the desk to let them know it happened he did apologize and stated the reasoning but did not offer any compensation or anything for the inconvenience!!
