Nice room with a tiny bathroom.
I booked a small room since I was traveling by myself. The room was decorated nicely and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was extremely small. I would not recommend staying in one of the smaller rooms if you have more than one person or if you like a decent sized bathroom. The hotel was in a great location and I would stay there again. The hotel did give away my cousins room on the night of her wedding. They apologized but it’s still unacceptable.

Great location to experience downtown Austin
Historic hotel in a great downtown location, within walking distance of some interesting restaurants. Service is top notch. The only drawback is valet parking, which is kind of pricey.
Traveller's tip on recreational activities
Walk to the S Congress bridge before dusk to see the bats.
