Nice property, great location; Sonder-managed
This is a Sonder managed property, which requires you to download their app in order to check in and receive details. All is online thru the app and messaging. Before booking, you should educate yourself about how Sonder works. Property pro’s: 1. Great location 2. Free parking for one vehicle (follow rules, otherwise be towed). 3. Beautiful property with nice sky deck with bar, swimming pool, gym. 4. Studio was nice set up for overnight stay. 5. Balcony for our unit. 6. Bed mattress comfortable. Con’s: 1. Our place was over the Aussie’s bar, which was extremely loud until 11pm. It was quiet after that, but if you need sleep, it’s not great. 2. Only two towels and nothing more, no bath mat. Almost did a split coming out of shower. 3. Didn’t seem as clean, lots of dust bunnies, counter/table smudges. 4. Only 1 elevator was working so we had to go up to eventually go down. 5. Would have preferred a view, you don’t know exactly what you are getting.

Best place to stay in Austin
The property was convenient to everything in downtown Austin and South Congress. We walked to concerts at Moody Theater & Amphitheater. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The free parking in property garage was a bonus! We have already recommend it to friends.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel itself was nice, great location and parking. Unfortunately, the pull out bed was unusable as springs were missing, the mattress slanted downward and it was structurally unsound. The mattress cover was dirty as well. We had to use the actual sofa to sleep. The ceiling fan in the bedroom knocked and was very noisy. Not a great night's sleep.

YOU WILL BE TOWED IF YOU DONT PUT THE PARKING TAG ON YOUR VEHICLE. I felt like the communication needs to be better about parking. Put a big sign on the back of the door so people pay attention and don’t get towed. It was frustrating dealing with that to say the least.

Parking a little tight, but honestly, if that’s the only complaint, it’s a win, right? Excellent property, location is great, and amenities are top notch! This just became our go-to accommodations in Austin.

Great place
The “room” was wonderful. A studio with a full kitchen and large bathroom is so much more than just a room. The pool looked wonderful and we were a few block from the bats. I don’t know why I would consider staying any where else, we loved it.

Our room was located above the pool, so it was very loud. However, the pool closes at 10PM and we were able to get a good nights sleep. Area is great for walking in town (wanted to avoid 6th street area) but still close to downtown. We were able to enjoy the amenities such as the pool and parking but were disappointed that we could not bring our child out to the common area/sky terrace to enjoy the views (we were told no minors allowed?). Would stay here again, but maybe on a child free visit.

Fantastic apartment next to the river and the Congress Ave bridge where the bats come out at sunset and you can take the tour boat for even more fun. There was a washer and dryer included in the apartment and it has access to a gorgeous infinity pool!!! The elevator is super quick and smooth. You do need to be a bit tech savvy to manage the codes to get in to everything.
