She is showing her age badly. Upon arrival we could not access the garage due to door issues and had to valet. Finding the entrance is challenging. The lobby was extremely hot for Austin. card key access to floors-plus Live music in bar- plus Pro tip- the hotel shares its pool with the Holiday inn hotel. They serve breakfast. We walked into the holiday Inn side from the pool and could not get back out! Oops. Pool- they have day bungalow that are for rent. How nice…..they are hard as a rock and dirty. 24 chairs 17 lounge beds 3 bungalows 2 sofas 2 -4 top tables 4 umbrellas 9 small circular tables near the chair sets Towels are at the pool Room Views vary from downtown to freeway Rooms are small NO usb outlets so bring charging blocks Lighting is dim Toilet seat is flimsy and you feel like your going to fall off The shower had a wand at one time, now it’s a rain head and the rail is still present. Again, no USB ports. Bed is comfortable Room ac was killer as iac did not do the normal shut off during the night. Desk w light 2 chairs and a small table Small refrigerator that at one time had a freezer door - just open now. Credenza with safe Tv w cable “Nspresso” style room coffee No coffee in lobby, it’s 5.00 OR You can go to the Holiday Inn side and get free coffee and food. Pool is very plain just a big rectangle- all under 4’ deep. It too is showing its age. Although there is a nice bar and possibly food area it is unmanned while we were there. Perhaps it will open later.pool is shared with holiday inn and hotels are connected on mezzanine level When you try to call front desk no one ever answers. See pictures elsewhere. Read less

I thought there were no good, affordable hotels in downtown Austin, especially this close to 6th Street and the highway. This wasn't good, it was great! Had a nice pool, outdoor bar, indoor bar, parking was easy and close and Deandrea helped me out with a free parking situation since I had to head to the airport at 3 am. Room was clean and modern,… Read more

Had a nice pool, outdoor bar, indoor bar, parking was easy and close and Deandrea helped me out with a free parking situation since I had to head to the airport at 3 am. Room was clean and modern, view of the city excellent, and lobby and hallways were secure, peaceful, and quiet. Safe and quick walk to the music venues, bars, and restaurants on 6th St. Read less
