I loved my stay! The staff was friendly and even offered us an upgrade to a room with two beds instead of the king bed we originally had. It felt like they knew exactly what we needed, which made our stay even better. The only downside was the parking situation. There’s no parking garage for the hotel, and while they offer valet service, it’s pretty pricey. It would’ve been great if valet was included. I ended up parking at a garage across the street for $33 overnight.

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.
