"We (family of 4) stayed 3 nights in this house. The location is great. Just few minutes away from Austin down town and UT west campus. The neighborhood is safe and friendly. We checked in on the Christmas Eve. The house is recently renovated with spacious bedrooms. The beds are firm, which we like it. The shower place is huge and clean. However, the towels and room area rugs look a bit outdated. The kitchen utensils can be upgraded and better organized. Here are the areas definitely...

Only downside for me was the living room and bedroom tv remote batteries were dead so we couldn’t use it. It also sucks that we couldn’t smoke on the balcony, however, overall this was a nice place to stay and will definitely book again."

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at the Aloft during UT's freshman move in. The staff were helpful and very hospitable and the rooms were as expected. What I especially enjoyed were the restaurant options and proximity to other restaurants in the area. My goal in staying downtown was to get a feel for the "Austin energy" in the city and this hotel exceeded my expectations. I fell in love with the decor, and the food so much that I ordered a to-go order of the quinoa and cauliflower taco from the 2nd floor and a few pastries from the first floor. I love the 2nd floor patio vibe and took a few pics! I will definitely be back!!!"

"We had a staycation here for 4th of July weekend. So I understand the crowds, but the pool was maxed out the entire time, it was on the smaller side for this size hotel. A little noisy just due to location. This hotel was walking distance to s congress, auditorium shores and right in the middle of downtown. The taco service inside was amazing. Coffee shop was reasonable. Thanks for the memories!"
