Local Hangout
Liked: The location was convenient to the pedestrian bridge to walk about Lady Bird Lake and downtown. It was about 10 minute walk to the Palmer Event Center and 25 minutes to Congress Ave. It had a nice outdoor area and a decent menu at the restaurant. Most staff were very pleasant and extremely helpful.
Disliked: The room itself - just the basics and nothing more. The bed is super low to the floor. The pillows are very flat and the mattress was firm. The bed was directly under the vent and it was putting out little black flakes on the white comforter, which smeared like charcoal dust when wiped away. There are no drawers - just shelves with a couple hangers. The bathroom counter was also very low with 2 very small sinks and faucets that blocked the center - awkward. There is a dog daycare/boarding facility right below the left side of the facility and the dogs were barking all day. (Our room was not on that side - just a note.) There is no coffee available in the room. However, they do have a coffee shop with small breakfast items on property, which is open to the public, so it was hit or miss if seating was available. The on site restaurant doesn’t open til 11am. The dining area was loud at times and young children were throwing the gravel rocks and empty cans to keep them occupied with little redirection from the adults.

Nice Location, funky accommodations, not...
Liked: The location with proximity to the city is nice. However, this is more like a motel and doesn’t have any security. My biggest complaint is that my room overlooked a doggy daycare where multiple dogs barked day and night. I also had my dog with me and this was so disruptive for both of us. There was no way I could enjoy the balcony and then when I went down to the pool, I can still hear the dogs barking. As a heads up, I would look to make sure there aren’t any events at the hotel if you’re looking for more of a quiet retreat . This is a very lively hotel and well that was fun at times it’s certainly not going to be a vibe.
