My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was ideal for exploring downtown Austin and its vibrant 6th Street but was slightly affected by the presence of homeless people nearby. The rooms, though comfortable with a nice view, could use a remodel, and the dining experience was limited and overpriced. However, the friendly service at check-in and the convenient facilities added to the overall experience.
