    Gym gr8. Pool small. Few wait staff, can only order drinks poolside, most after 5pm. Queen rm teeny, faces a wall 6 ft away. Stream room gave me bronchitis-bing tested for covid and flu. Bfast inconsistent. One day gr8, next mediocre. Really noisy in lobby after 5. Sauna, red light $45/15 min. Avg drink pric $20-$26. For $1,200/night all amenities should be included, esp if your reservation says VIP

    I stayed previously earlier this year and loved it besides an incident with trying to get a microwave to warm my food. I loved the hotel and dining options so much I decided to come back, but unfortunately dining fell short. Burnt toast, that you could clearly see was burned, and fish that was not “right”, the comped the items which was nice, but I came all the way to Austin to this hotel for my bday just to stay and have this one particular meal. It is a very nice hotel, love the aesthetic, but I didn’t feel satisfied after dining, so not sure if I’d eat there again.

    Nice property and convenient location. Wouldn’t give it four stars due to some oddities. Other than a closet, there is no storage space. No drawers or shelves, even on bed stand. Room is very small. One peg in the shower to hang a towel, but no towel racks. Also, at night the hotel lobby and bar turns into a singles place. So loud you can’t hear yourself and surely can’t sit and have a quiet drink. Also, I tried to reserve directly with the property and it was cheaper on Expedia.

    The no dressers in the room knocks this one off of the list for me unless I was traveling alone. They decided to literally make the nightstand have a false drawer and intentionally limit functionality. Living out of a suitcase for several days is no fun

    Room was nice, as was pool. Coffee bar was the most disappointing. Coffee was weak (looked like tea when poured) and the complementary muffins were laughable. For the price of the lodging, the coffee and muffins area seemed very low effort. Front desk stated they would text when room was ready (we forgot to request de-feathering) and we ended up have to call the front desk after over an hour to see if it was ready. We’re able to relax at pool with friends while waiting.

    Great location. Efficient valet service even though it was Easter weekend when we arrived so extremely busy. Rooms clean, well equipped, lovely touch of Dyson hairdryer, Aesop toiletries and clothes steamer. Beds extremely comfortable. We didn’t use any of the restaurants as they were a little pricey to use for our whole stay as family of four, but plenty of options a short walk from the hotel.
