  : I loved the hotel layout, open air hallways, coffee shop and lounge/work areas. It was clean, beautiful and serene. The location was perfect. The pool relaxing. The tile in the bathroom was clean and beautiful. I liked having a balcony.
  : The bed wasnt comfortable nor was it uncomfortable. It was right in between. For the price of the stay, Id expect a more cozy bed. The pillows left a lot to be desired too. I know this is subjective so Ill try to explain: The bed was firm (not too firm) but didnt have a cozy/comfortable feel to it and the pillows had no substance to them. They were very flat and lifeless. I had to ball one up to try to create a decent amount of fluff under my head. My room was above a dog boarding facility and my neighbors barked a lot but They were quiet at night.

  : Nice location and feel.
  : A lot of noise from the traffic. The closed windows didnt shut out the noise.

  : Very hip design-focused hotel with lots of nice "bonuses" like a powerful bluetooth speaker in the room, plenty of shelves, racks and hooks, stocked mini-bar, free bike rental, cafe on site, etc. I appreciated the communication via text message (like a normal person...) and the flexibility on check-in time and some other adjustments I had to make to my reservation. Awesome location for driving to Austin-area sights, though it is a bit of a hike to downtown (Uber/Lyft is cheap here, and it's an easy pick-up/drop-off spot).
  : The pool was nice, but frigid, in April. I don't know if it's unheated or just not turned on, I didn't ask. My room was missing a few of the room service request indicators (magnets to put on the door). I wish the restaurant had opened a little earlier or closed later - never got to try it, and it seems like it would be a cool place to hang out late into the evening. Room prices are a bit high in my opinion, and the additional charge for parking was a bit unexpected, given that the hotel has a dedicated garage.

  : We enjoyed the laid back, artsy vibes. The room was comfortable and we enjoyed having a cafe, restaurant, and pool onsite.
  : The mattress was a little lumpy.

  : Overall great location, the pool was the best part along with the cafe and lunch spaces. The hotel was mostly clean, and the rooms were mostly clean. Food and drinks were good!
  : Honestly, the staff could be more welcoming, we chose this spot considering the past reviews raving about the staff but from our experience except for the cafe, the people weren't that welcoming/friendly esp the front desk. My friends ordered a bouquet to be placed in my room but arrived to an empty room without the flowers. The staff confirmed that the bouquet will be pre-packed in the room but was not actioned. I then received a text the next day saying I had a package and it was the flowers already wilted when my sister instructed to unbox and display, it was all a little disappointing.
