    A Cozy Retreat with Character

    We enjoyed a comfy stay in the spacious King Room. The big pool area feels like a blast from the past in the best way. Don’t miss the delicious breakfast at Joanne’s—perfectly convenient. A bit of Wi-Fi trouble, but that didn't overshadow our experience. Free parking is a huge plus!

    retro vibe
    lively pool
    helpful staff
    small bathroom
    no storage

    The quirky decor added a fun touch. The pool area was lively, perfect for unwinding. Staff were always friendly and attentive. The room itself felt a bit cramped, though, and the bathroom could use more space for toiletries. It would have been nice to have a closet instead of just hooks for clothes. Location is fantastic, tons of great food options around, and it’s easy to walk to shops. One downside was the lack of housekeeping during my stay. I expected at least some refresh. Overall, the charm of the place overshadowed a few inconveniences, making it a memorable experience.

    Charming retro decor and excellent location

    I loved the unique retro decor that captures the essence of Austin, creating a fun and quirky atmosphere. The location is perfect for exploring the vibrant South Congress neighborhood with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The pool area was a highlight, especially during warm days, but I wish there were more amenities in the room itself.

    prime location
    well-maintained decor
    high prices
    limited pool usage
    crowded environment

    The prime location makes it easy to explore stylish stores and restaurants nearby, while the retro-inspired decor feels fresh and well-maintained. The friendly staff enhanced the experience further, and morning coffee in the beautiful lobby was a great touch. However, during busy times, prices can soar, making it a splurge, and limited pool usage can be disappointing.

    lack of grab bars
    minimal bathroom support

    I adored the charming retro decor that captured Austin's essence. The accessible layout made it easy for me to navigate, with free parking and the lovely pool area providing a delightful atmosphere for relaxation during my stay.

    Could use more grab bars in the bathroom.
