Iconic Austin stay! Even though there was a private event booked for the pool, we were accommodated at their sister hotel, Hotel San Jose, which was an also an amazing experience!

Great last minute find, swapped from downtown to south congress and glad we did, parking was easy and outside the room and the room was cute!
Georgia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Worth it for the location alone. Bring your own toothpaste, soap, etc. because it isn’t in the rooms, but the bed is super comfy and we found it to be very pleasant.
