"Great location in Austin, we walked pretty much everywhere and there are great bars etc. and bat watching just steps from the property. Very central. Restaurants were good, easy coffee in the morning, rooms super clean and really nice. Staff were excellent - super friendly and pretty darn funny some of them :) We had a great stay, good value for money, super chic and trendy, highly recommended."
