The worst stay of my life

Everything is self serve, checking in and checking out. Our room was so damn small, imagine a New York room with no walking space. Between the bathroom door and the walkway there was no space. The AC was broken and we had called to get it fixed and they said “they were working on it” but never fixed it which made us believe that they just don’t allow you to switch the temperature in the room. Extremely hot. The other downside of this place was the parking; we spent $200 just to park. They charged you per 10 hours and you couldn’t leave the parking garage. So when we wanted to go outside of Austin and came back we had to pay $40 and then we paid $80 to keep it overnight. The hotel was cool but not worth your money, save it and go to Aloft. Which is right on 7th street. I wish we were told all this. Also not to mention we wanted to cancel our stay due to emergency and they said they would charge us the full amount of the hotel room. So beware of this entire hotel.

Great, low cost hotel. My room was tiny, good for single traveller but maybe not for a couple. Hotel bar was a bit of a letdown - service was not great.

Tiny tiny room with weak AC

The room was literally as wide as the bed. It felt very claustrophobic. The AC would not cool the room off. I checked the temp and at midnight it was 86 degrees. Won’t ever stay there again.
