This hotel is really good and recommended by me. The location is very central and close to where you can find several bars and restaurants. The total impression of the hotel is great. The entrance area is nice and comfortable with permanent fresh water for guests. The receptionists are friendly and helpful. There is no complain that I have about this hotel. I strongly recommend staying here!
Loved my weekend stay at this quaint hotel. The check in was easy. The room is like a small apartment minus a kitchen add turntable. Nice selection of vinyl records to check out. The boutique has very unique items. I loved the toiletries. The food was really good. We especially loved having breakfast next to the fireplace that faces that amazing old tree. The pool is inviting. The grounds meticulous. I would love to stay here again. Austin is cool
We arrived at the hotel and there was no parking in the gated parking lot. We were told “there are 10 spaces for 14 rooms so you need park on the street.” For 800 a night I expect a parking space or a valet. The tvs in the rooms do not have netflix and do not allow streaming/casting with iphones.
There are much better hotels in Austin for the money. I would not stay there again.
This venue and hotel are beautiful and the service staff were all very nice and it is was a bummer that the event staff really made for a sub-par experience.
If you do not value customer service, clear communication, privacy at a private event or love to have endless arguments, then this event space is for you!
If you value any of the above I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. Unless, Nancy no longer works here. Then just proceed with caution. I am not 100% sure if Nancy's actions were forced by company policies or not. If her actions were forced I do apologize to Nancy for this review. This being said, the actions as a whole are still inexcusable for a high-end establishment.
The space, food, and day of service staff are all great. Especially the bartender. She is extra awesome.
I got married last week and had our celebratory dinner in the courtyard. Did I mention it was beautiful?
When you first meet Nancy, she is nice and easy to work with but as soon as the deposit is down, the contract is signed and if your event needs any changes to your event throughout the ordeal she is brash and seemingly, purposefully deceitful.
The amount of stress and tears she personally made my bride feel throughout this ordeal is, unfortunately, a huge blemish on our otherwise beautiful day.
As mentioned in a lot of other reviews -- "make sure that you have a written record of all communication with the event’s staff, especially Nancy. It will be essential to reference when there is an inevitable issue."
From the beginning, we were promised the entire courtyard and even paid a ~$1,500 event fee for the rights to it. Upon arrival, our tables had been pushed to the far side of the patio where there were no lights. The other side had been set up for the public to use and had a large party gathering. We immediately asked why and Sarah --the assistant-- explained that they never "explicitly said" it would be a private event and she seemed not to care about our concerns. We are very covid conscious and this made for an uncomfortable night.
There were hours of phone calls and conversations that were had prior to the day of to make sure everything went flawlessly.
A couple of positive notes - the bartender is an awesome person and the service staff are very friendly. The food was also pretty decent. This being said, we were forced into having a $3,000 food budget for only 11 people.
What a wonderful weekend with my wife! Thanks St Cecilia
