Wouldn’t come again
It has a style and it’s unique. The food in the restaurant was pretty good.
I was shocked to find out that there is no coffee machine in the room. So there is no way to make coffee or tea. Instead, the idea is to go down to the coffee shop and pay a hefty price for a coffee, for instance 4.25$ for a cup of cortado. In the hotel at almost 400$ per night I would expect a coffee machine. Also, if your room is facing the parking lot, it’s extremely noisy with all kinds of noises from running train to service vehicles early in the morning. We should have been warned about this issue when we checked in.

It was a good home base.
Loved the room; it felt like home. Comfy bed. Couch. So toasty on a cold afternoon.
Nothing.

Architectural gem with wonky pricing
Pros: one of the best-looking new hotels in Austin: an architectural gem with authentic retro vibes, excellent landscaping staff that continually maintain and water the beautiful landscaping, fun & friendly waiters, free Moet champagne for every guest on every night of stay (4-6 pm at cafe's bar only), well-ventilated outdoor common areas, rooms have balcony for good air circulation, hand sanitizers by elevators, relatively large pool area (dog boarding facility nearby means lots of barking), coffee bar onsite with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, large restaurant onsite with plenty of indoor and patio seating. Room features guest-controllable HVAC thermostat and well-pressurized shower, spacious bathroom (but tiny sink with faucet too closely-installed so your hands can't fit under). Location is chill Barton Springs neighborhood, short walk to many Austin landmarks - Town Lake, Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, even P. Terry's #1 Burger Stand which is just across the street.
Cons: HVAC in room on 24/7 and very noisy (like whirring helicopter) - bring earplugs, Wifi not password protected, hotel imposes an undisclosed, "mandatory" 20% service charge on all food & beverage orders of any size if you charge anything to your room (whether you're in the restaurant, pool, or get room service). Would prefer they explain this in advance as it's nonstandard for both American and overseas hotel guests. Menus also not updated to current pricing - food/beverage bills higher than advertised. Limited parking. You need to bring your own coffee, tea, and mineral water for your hotel room as it only has a minibar, with no price list anywhere. Hotel relies on texting for communications/food ordering - overseas guests should plan accordingly with their data plan.

stay at the unique loc guaranteed!
the location is top. i loved the coffee shop downstairs, if you do a workation it’s perfect be cause you can take a couple of calls or check emails there. the design of the property is so unique, doesn’t feel like a hotel at all. more like an airbnb.
the only downside was the smoking. it seemed like everyone was smoking on their balconies and the smell traveled to my room and made it unbearable. it would happened every night before I hit the bed. at some point it felt like it was coming from the AC above the bed. I’d def recommend adding a designated area for it instead of allowing it at balconies.

Perfect place for a weekend
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is very nice and the decoration very trendy and desert style. We loved our stay there and will definitely come back!
