Rooms were comfortable and the staff were helpful. The bathrooms should be remodeled or deep cleaned. It looked as if some mold had built up in the shower area. The bathroom was very spacious.

We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed it. The hotel provided everything we needed, was well located in a slightly quieter part of town but all our restaurants and bars were easily accessible on foot. Breakfast was plentiful each morning and slightly changed day to day. The beds were comfortable and the swimming pool was a great bonus. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Austin.
