Hotel was well kept and just like the photos. Barton Springs was an easy walk with a lot of food options near by. Totally walkable to downtown Austin too! They make you pay for parking on site which isn’t listed here and was a little disappointing. Otherwise, an awesome stay and would stay again!

With all the extra charges at check in and check out, (without room-service) one might be better off to book the room directly with the hotel instead of an off-site platform, no savings, but worth it. Pool area is really great. the place has an authentic Austin vibe. Staff are among the best. We will stay here again.

I really loved everything about this hotel. I got to enjoy the saltwater pool. The restaurant and cafe all had fantastic food and beverages. Aesthetically very cool inside and out. All of the staff were so friendly and made me feel right at home. Location was perfect as I was able to run in zilker park and walk to Barton Springs for a swim.
