Chelsea, Aug 2017
Pros (+) This hotel has an amazing design esthetic and uses high end finishes and products on the property and in the hotel rooms. The beds and linens were so incredibly comfortable I would have been happy hanging out in the room than braving the heat of a summer day in Austin. The valet was great and very easy to use. When were ready to pick up our car we would just send a text and the car would be ready ...
Cons (-) I had a great time and was very happy with our stay.

Pros (+) They were supernice to my 4 year old daughter. They upgraded us to a suite because she wanted to take a bath in a bathtub and actually went to a store nearby to get her bubblebath shampoo without us requesting it: Speechless.
