    I think there should be a carpenters hotel and major city in US. I love the layout with the restaurant bar and coffee shop and then hotel separately.

    location and vibes

    too many non hotel guests that get priority accommodation over paying guests. if you want to be an event space, be that, but people paying for a hotel service with no room service available and blaring music new year’s day morning after celebrating NYE was the worst way to wake up. couldn’t use the pool area to relax in the morning bc of the “yoga party” that non guests took over the space. no dinner at the restaurant unless you do prefix- and the prefix had no options my husband could eat. the staff doesn’t seem to give a crap about accommodating guests that have been coming here for years. it’s very much no longer a boutique hotel cute and austin-ish. it’s become another money grub corporate headache. i used to love coming here to reset and relax but they seem to care more about catering to influencers and doing it for the gram with their little events than making sure guests have a good experience. i saw peoples cars getting hit in the parking lot. they over sell spaces for overnight then make ppl double park illegally ( in fire lanes) It used to feel like a peaceful oasis, a romantic getaway, now it feels frustrating, over stimulating and like every other corporate regulated business. it took them 40 minutes to bring ice to our room! i got SICK from the undercooked pork i ate during their happy hour (since we weren’t allowed to have regular dinner service) it’s funny too bc NO ONE EVEN CAME TO THEIR PREFIX DINNER. the restaurant was dead yet, us as guests COULDN’T GET FOOD. TBH, one of the worst experiences that i actually paid for.

    Design and layout and detailing throughout. A really tranquil setting.

    Unable to order on the app from poolside as didn’t have a US phone number. Also felt a little overrun with non-residents.

    Beautiful space in the rooms and common areas. The attached cafe was great. Bed was comfy, but for the price, small. Same for the room. There was barely enough space to walk around one side of the bed. And for two people, with luggage, it was cramped.

    Overpriced. Everything else was great.

    Nice boutique hotel, very close for ACL festival.

    Little spendy, but worth it for closeness to venue.

    10JohnPosted on: 10-16-2025

    It's a beautiful hotel with luscious landscaping. It also has a great restaurant and bar. And walking distance to Zilker Park.

    Nothing. It's perfect.

    Boutique style resort in a great location. Very lovely grounds. Great location close to Barton Springs, UT and Terry Black’s BBQ.

    Can’t think of anything.

    This was our 3rd or 4th stay. Lovely property in a great location with amenities.

    The price was stated clearly on the 3rd party booking app, but we were charged more upon arrival. They just ran our card at the higher amount without explanation and we only caught it after the fact. They couldn’t explain the price difference except that a deposit was taken that we will get bank in a few days. I imagine we will be calling them again. Price difference was about 85 dollars more for the night.

    It’s a very low key pleasant place. The restaurant is wonderful. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

    I love this hotel, it’s my second time here. The room is tide and clean, the bed is cozy, and I love the pool very much, and the restaurant and cafe provide decent food and drinks. So many good memories here, definitely I will come back again soon.

    The vibe was perfect & the grounds were beautiful. Felt like we were in a Wes Anderson movie. The pool was well maintained. The coffee shop had a delicious quiche!

    Paying guests should have access to free coffee in the morning or, at minimum, a coffee maker in the room.

    Everything from the vegetation inside on the terrace to the pool to the coffee shop.

    The AC sounded like a motorbike on the street!
