Our stay here exceeded all expectations. The location was perfect, right in the middle of everything. Museums, the Capital, the Paramount Theater, and tons of amazing restaurants, including Caroline, which is right on the property. I cannot say enough about the staff, as we were greeted with nothing but kindness from everyone we interacted with. We were on a girl's trip and had an early morning flight. We figured we'd ask to see if they could store our luggage since it was 9:30 am and didn't expect to be able to check in, but were surprised when we were told we could go ahead and check in and enjoy breakfast, which again, exceeded expectations! There were the usuals, eggs, bacon/sausage, toast/bagels, an oatmeal and cereal bar, yogurt bar, and my favorite, all the patstries from the coffee bar on the first floor! The hotel even hosts a happy hour in the evening M-Thurs for guests. Our favorite part were the bikes available for guests to utilize free of charge. We were able to see the city and try all the restauraunts without paying a ton for Ubers or tours. We grabbed a free bike and took off! We even got to enjoy the trail at Lady Bird Lake, which is also right around the corner. Caroline's on site has great drinks and food and a great atmosphere for happy hour each evening. When it came time to check out, they stored our luggage for us again so we could maximize our time in the city before needing to head to the airport in the evening. We will stay here again for sure!

Would not stay here again. Closer on door to room so strong it was hard to open and slammed hard. Seemed like tried to save money everywhere possible; had to force phone charger plug into wall socket, tried 3 and none worked, finally used plug on lamp; shower was ridiculously hard to turn on then water went hot to cold over and over; mattress reminded me of sleeping on a stack of towels; the “pillows” on the bed were bolsters like you would put behind your back to sit up - too thick and hard to sleep on, room has dinette with big heavy square plates that would fit in microwave, but were too big for microwave turntable to turn; provided tableware that reminded me of something you might buy at an army surplus store, bathroom tissue was low quality. Instead of carpet, the room floors had what I believed to be ceramic tile made to look like wood flooring and it was cold to walk on. Place was clean and staf was helpful. However, the room was noisy all night long from street traffic, and there seemed to be a lot of helicopter traffic overhead, which I could not understand. I even requested a quiet room, but I have no idea if tha request was honored. I have stayed in downtown Austin hotels before with good results, but this was not a good experience for me.
Broken plug in room.  I needed to plug in my phone, but was afraid to try it.
