Lovely historic ambiance

Loved the historic ambiance of the hotel. We generally avoid generic "modern" hotel chains & try to seek out unique hotels with a deep connection to the city. The 2nd floor bar with outdoor seating on the balcony was wonderful! We ate at both on-site restaurants. Quite impressed with our dinner at the Roaring Fork. Incredible food & Ty was the best waiter we had during our entire trip. The front desk staff was hit or miss. Maybe some were recently hired? Location of hotel was perfect for exploring downtown (& beyond) by foot. Room was very clean but furniture showed some wear & tear. The bed were heavenly! But we were never able to sleep in too late because of noise. We could hear our neighbors talking. One morning it was someone repairing the ice machine in the hallway well before 8AM! We could hear morning street noise even in our 7th floor room. But downtown Austin is vibrant so probably a risk you take staying downtown? Overall, we enjoyed out stay here but not sure we would stay here again. We would definitely return to the Roaring Fork and the 2nd floor bar however!

Would stay again

Beautiful hotel. Definitely a great value, enjoyed the wonderful bar music / terrace, and good restaurant. The hotel is kept very nice and although we had air conditioning issues our last night, the staff tried to help fix the next day. Breakfast across the street is better.
