My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable. The rooms, although a bit dated, were very clean and spacious. The friendly and helpful service made a positive impression; however, there were some minor hiccups with special requests. The location was excellent, centrally located between popular attractions. The dining experience was good but lacked some variety in options. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, and I would happily return again and again. The premium room was well-equipped with complimentary snacks and drinks, although it lacked extra bedding. The hotel's positioning was ideal, near captivating running trails and perfect for enjoying 'Bat Season' in Austin's charming SOCO area.

The premium room was well-equipped with candy, chips, and drinks. However, an additional blanket and bedding for the pull-out sofa would have been appreciated.

The hotel definitely needs refreshing, very tired, but it was nice, especially for my husband who was hanging out while I was conferencing. The WiFi in the rooms works okay, but the cleanliness and restroom locks could be improved.
