Do not book studio for family & not a hotel for young kids.
Pros:

The photos for the suite are deceiving-it’s tiny. We stayed here last year with family for almost 10 days and it was amazing! Granted-we rented a 2 BR. When we were returning this year, we decided to give it another go. We booked a suite since we had only 4 staying this year. BIG MISTAKE. I thought it would be comparable to the two bedroom’s quality. It was not. No storage for clothes other than 8 hangers and open shelves that look like my college dorms shelves. No ironing board, no washer/dryer in suite (I should have read the fine print.) The beds are so uncomfortable, the pillows worse. The beds are full size-tiny if you’re doubling up.

On arrival, my kids of course wanted to check out the pool, except there was a pride pool party advertised for ticket sale to non-guests through and NGO. All was fine till the open marijuana smoking in and around the pool and my kids, the arrival of drag queens and breast balls we’re being passed around. This event totally acceptable for Austin-but for a hotel serving family’s they should have closed the pool for a private party. I did email complaining about the smoking-illegal in Austin. Several days have passed-no response.

The most concerning thing, the elevators. If you forget your keycard, it traps you in it and your only option is to take it to the basement garage and walk the stairs to the lobby-or your floor, in fact ANYONE can do the same-no security on stairwells. So why the false security on the elevator?

The doors to the room have no secondary locking mechanism, something parents with neurodivergent kids should be aware of.

The suite is WAY too small for a family. The hotel is a good distance from downtown, not walkable. I’m sad because we really loved and as such reviewed our experience last year, but we will not be back.

I will give a shot out to the best part of this hotel-the cleaning staff who were outstanding. Literally weren’t bothersome and we left the room and came back to an impeccably clean room. The hallways are also clean. So kudos to the hardest working staff and most important at the hotel. They got the stars, not the hotel.

Perfekt und jederzeit wieder
Pros:

An dem Hotel kann man wirklich nichts negatives anmerken ! Ich Reise oft und viel und von allen Hotels war das eindeutig das beste ! Man denkt nicht das man so was in Texas bekommen würde!
Pool war wunderschön und perfekt zum abschalten! Das Café war sehr süß und da gab es einen Food Truck mit Essen
Preis Leistung top
Zimmer waren groß - sauber und schön !

Cons:

Lage ist gut aber man ist auf Auto / Roller oder Uber angewiesen ! Wir hatten immer die lime Roller.

Hidden Gem in South Congress
Pros:

Location: it is located in our favorite part of town, South Congress, close to 2 miles of back to back local restaurants. The hotel is small, comfortable, elegant. Staff were responsive and courteous. The room was spacious, and the bathroom too.

Cons:

The first day we couldn't adjust the thermostat, it looked like you could handle it manually but wouldn't adjust. We talked to the front desk, and it turns out they control the parameters for thermostats, so they adjusted it to include our "desired" range, and the problem was solved.

Couples getaway
Pros:

Loved this hotel!! Perfect for a romantic weekend get away. Close to every thing on Congress but just far away so the noise and crowds aren’t annoying.
There’s a nice H-E-B on the corner. Rooms have a fridge, oven, cooktop, and any thing else you might need.
Nice bar and little cafe. Didn’t make it to the pool but it looked great!
