comfortable & stylish
Liked: Very hip design-focused hotel with lots of nice "bonuses" like a powerful bluetooth speaker in the room, plenty of shelves, racks and hooks, stocked mini-bar, free bike rental, cafe on site, etc. I appreciated the communication via text message (like a normal person...) and the flexibility on check-in time and some other adjustments I had to make to my reservation. Awesome location for driving to Austin-area sights, though it is a bit of a hike to downtown (Uber/Lyft is cheap here, and it's an easy pick-up/drop-off spot).
Disliked: The pool was nice, but frigid, in April. I don't know if it's unheated or just not turned on, I didn't ask. My room was missing a few of the room service request indicators (magnets to put on the door). I wish the restaurant had opened a little earlier or closed later - never got to try it, and it seems like it would be a cool place to hang out late into the evening. Room prices are a bit high in my opinion, and the additional charge for parking was a bit unexpected, given that the hotel has a dedicated garage.

Lovely place to stay for...
Liked: I loved the hotel layout, open air hallways, coffee shop and lounge/work areas. It was clean, beautiful and serene. The location was perfect. The pool relaxing. The tile in the bathroom was clean and beautiful. I liked having a balcony.
Disliked: The bed wasn’t comfortable nor was it uncomfortable. It was right in between. For the price of the stay, I’d expect a more cozy bed. The pillows left a lot to be desired too. I know this is subjective so I’ll try to explain: The bed was firm (not too firm) but didn’t have a cozy/comfortable feel to it and the pillows had no substance to them. They were very flat and lifeless. I had to ball one up to try to create a decent amount of fluff under my head. My room was above a dog boarding facility and my neighbors barked a lot but They were quiet at night.
