The property was very nice and conveniently located! We had a few issues with our code working to get into our apartment, but were given a key immediately! 24 hour staffing is really great! We were lucky to have the help of Robert during our stay! He was phenomenal!

Average property
The property is not a typical hotel. Very little help in the building. No room service or cleaning of the room. Security codes needed to be entered at every doorway and fire stairwell. One elevator out of service. Just not a comfortable stay for us.
Place was nice and the common area and pool were a good addition for hangout spots, a lot of homeless in the area and room was next to the highway so it was hard to sleep at night due to the noise

Never again
* I have to put the 7 digits code three times to get to my room and again when leaving. The touch pad is sensitive, have to enter the code more than once. FRUSTRATING.
* Murphy bed uncomfortable l, pillow keeps falling from hole in the back to the floor.
*to kinds of smells one in the lobby a different one in rooms. This constant smell of deodorant is nauseating and unhealthy.
* I am a platinum member of hotels.com I asked to check out at 1, I was told I have to pay 50 dollars. I had to do my business meetings from the lobby.
I have not had suck a poor sleeping experience ever as bad as this. The fridge ran super loud all night. The building is on the highway SO loud all night. Beds are pull out. So uncomfortable. I wish I could
Get a refund. Was just aweful. Didn’t sleep a wink.

Great place m, good location
Amazing stay! Great for walkability to 6th street. It was also close to the bus I had to take from Houston to Austin
The Placemakr was great! The staff was helpful and friendly. The location was very walkable to downtown. Even though it was beside the highway, it wasn’t overly noisy.
Property is very well kept. One of the two elevators were not working so had to walk to the other side of the building to use the elevator. Pin to the door wasn’t working so get an old fashion metal key from the lobby. Besides that, great price for the property and enjoyed the apartment.
