Stayed here as a couple for a weekend. Overall the stay was very smooth - check in was easy at the front desk (basically a hotel check-in), the location was a 5-10 minute walk away from downtown and East Austin, and the room was surprisingly clean (my white socks did not get dirty at all). Only thing I would mention is that for the closest route to downtown Austin you have to walk through a Salvation Army location and there were always undomiciled folks hanging outside. They were friendly but it may be best to travel in a group at night if you feel unsafe.
