This hotel provides the basics and nothing more. Check in was quick and easy but the clerk failed to provide our breakfast passes. The room was neat and clean and the bed was comfy but it had the bare minimum. The refrigerator did not fit a to go container, there was not a safe or an iron and the steamer that was provided was full of mold. The lighting in the vanity/sink area was very poor for hair styling/make up application. Parking was pricey but it seems that is pretty typical of the Austin area. Overall it was a clean, safe, comfortable place to stay for the price point.

We loved the area it is in. Very walkable to everything we wanted to see in our very short 3 day trip. The Moody Centre was just a few blocks away. The Texas State Capital building was so beautifully taken care of and the staff were so helpful and kind. We loved the architecture in Austin and we watched for the 1.5million bats on the bridge with loads of wonderful people (didnt see that many though but it was pretty cool to read about them). Went to the Mothership which I learned the proceeds after paying the comedians and musicians and staff, go to the Humane Society (that is awesome) . People were so lovely everywhere we went. The Downright Austin pool is lovely and Lacey (our server at the pool ) was fabulous! I would definitely recommend this hotel.
