Prefect. What I loved more than anything was the check in being at 3pm and checkout at 12pm! Thought that was very cool. What the hotel could do better is add citronella candles in every balcony and at the pool. Tons of mosquitoes everywhere.

Excellent overall. Great location, unique with birds and nature all round. Each room is different in color, size, feel. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable about Austin, restaurants, museums...assistance in any way with hotel needs. There's even a real newspaper delivered every day!! Stay connected with news and the world!! Two tiny comments. My room that was end has somewhat weak water pressure; I'm sure that can and will be fixed. And, the coffee place next door, Jo's is funky and nice with great staff, but coffee is mediocre and oatmeal should be improved given high quality of hotel. THANK YOU. GREAT PLACE. I'LL be back!

Hotel is staff is nice, rooms are clean, and its in a great location. Request a room that’s not on the street otherwise you’ll hear the road. My only suggestion is that they get blackout curtains in the room.
