My husband and I recently stayed here for a short vacation tacked on to the end of a business trip. What an escape it was! After nearly a week in one of the hotels downtown, it was a treat to escape to this hideaway in the heart of what I consider Austin. I was very pleasantly surprised with how quiet it was even though it was close to I-35. I loved that we were so close to the Hyde Park businesses (Hyde Park Bar and Grill... Julio's Cafe... a bakery... gellato... all within walking distance or a short drive). The shower was amazing and the lighting in the bathroom was great for getting ready in the morning. We loved the touches with the NES system and CD wallet (we practically have the same CD wallet at home). We would book here again in a heart beat.
