Great service!!!
This hotel had 5 star service. The staff was on top of every request within moments. We dealt most with Joseph at the front desk. Very friendly Brooklyn guy who made sure everything was good. The style of the hotel is a bit off the wall and fairly typical of Austin: a fusion collision of industrial, Bauhaus, and dorm room, but all appears to be very carefully thought out. I would definitely recommend this place.

Check-in process needs to improve. Room with poor location given to an Expedia VIP when the property was not close to full. This has been a consistent problem on recent stays at this property. Seems to be a result of inexperienced/new staff doing the check-in.

A great hotel. I was here for a film festival and it was perfectly located for that. But it was also just a very solid place to stay. Solid vibes, good food, and just really cool. Great bed too, a rarity in hotels

Love this hotel the only suggestion is that there is no USB plug-in in the room. Other than that, we love this hotel and we stay here all the time.
