9.2/10 Wonderful! (729 reviews)

Nice updated boutique hotel with a unique vinyl record player in each guestroom. All the staff were friendly, hallways quiet. Beautiful view of Austin from the rooftop pool & bar area.... only drawback was the odd entrance through the bathroom area for the guestrooms.
