Beautiful, Historic...Haunted vibes guaranteed
Beautiful hotel, if you enjoy historic architecture and slight haunted mansion vibes. It was well maintained and very interesting. A lot of historic interest in this hotel considering it's the oldest one in TX. Super close walking distance to all of the fun stuff in downtown Austin. We walked to a show at Joe Rogan's Comedy Mothership & it was the perfect close distance. Would stay here again for accessibility to great restaurants & events. Lots of homeless wandering around outside the hotel & in the general area though - keep that in mind.

Exiting the bathroom was difficult as the doorknob was insecure. Also, the shower faucet nearly fell off in my hand.

Enjoyed stay with some issues
Hotel is a wonderful historic property which we loved. Room was amazing. Service was great.
The fragrance in the lobby and hallways was very overpowering to the point of giving you a headache. Street performers and homeless were really loud (yelling) until 1:00 am. When asked, security did ask them to tone it down. Valet crew was right across the street the whole time. I potentially got food poisoning from the room service breakfast.
We would probably stay again but talk to the GM about previous issues upfront.
