"The wraparound porches might sag a bit, but they're a gracious place to sit a spell. Works well for guests who plan to come and go, without needing lots of personal direction."

"A welcome feature is a private bath in all rooms, many with a clawfoot tub (and shower) to the delight of those who enjoy a relaxing soak at the end of the day."
Fodor's
"A charming bastion of historic hospitality sits just off UT campus, amid the otherwise lackluster surroundings of student apartments and frat houses."

"This handsome and historic downtown hotel is Austin’s swankiest choice, with an opulent marble lobby and updated rooms."

If you can’t afford to stay here, drop by the lobby bar for a mid-afternoon whiskey sour.
Michelin Guide
"Double balconies, arched windows and a hand laid marble lobby floor made downtown Austin's grandest hotel into a frontier palace."
