I really loved everything about this hotel. I got to enjoy the saltwater pool. The restaurant and cafe all had fantastic food and beverages. Aesthetically very cool inside and out. All of the staff were so friendly and made me feel right at home. Location was perfect as I was able to run in zilker park and walk to Barton Springs for a swim.

The hotel was easy to find and located where we could easily visit all the places we wanted to go. The restaurant was amazing, and the rooms were comfortable, but the coffee shop was overcrowded. It would have been nice to take our laptops and sit with our morning coffee, but it was really crowded. The bar was a nice alternative, but we had our teenage son with us, and he wasn't comfortable with this option.

A hidden gem set back from a busy intersection. Easy walk to restaurants, parks and walking trails along the Colorado river. Staff was warm and accommodating. Excellent on-site coffee shop and restaurant.

The property was overall nice to stay at. However, there was a power outage that lasted almost two hours on Thursday night, which severely impacted our stay and made the last night (and following morning) tough. It was unfortunate in that we felt like a big chunk of our stay was hampered by the power outage.
