Unfortunately you need to avoid this hotel.

The HVAC system made a SUPER loud “KACHUNK” sound when it shut off (which was random - but sometimes a couple times an hour). It was startling every single time. Impossible to sleep through. It’s too bad because it’s otherwise a nice place. Oh, and the valet is ridiculous - it took 40 minutes to get our car.

Clean room. Had everything we needed. Fridge, microwave, a few dishes, toaster if you need, can opener, sink. Could def stay here long if needed. Close walk to 6th street. We even walked to the Texas State Capitol. Valet parking. Nice breakfast. First day had chicken sausage. We mentioned to staff that bacon would be better...boom...bacon next day. Would stay again.

Spur of the moment road trip and we were lucky coy to find this place with the accommodations for three adults in the area we were looking for. Upon check in the desk clerk was super courteous and helpful in recommending places for dinner and points of interest and wasn’t rude about our reservation being placed through a third party affiliate- we have encountered that before at other hotels. Our room was clean and spacious for three adults. Will definitely return and recommend!
