We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. We also appreciated the convenient parking and transportation options available. The location was perfect for exploring the city, with easy access to 6th Street and the music venues. The bar area on the second floor was a highlight, offering live music and a great atmosphere. The staff, especially Jose and Vinnie in the club lounge, went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. The breakfasts were delicious, and we loved the charming historical charm of the hotel. it was an exceptional experience.
Nothing, it is perfect.
We loved the location, within walking distance of shows, food, and live music. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. Thanks to my IHG Platinum Elite status, we enjoyed perks like an upgraded room with a great view. The bed was really comfortable and the room was clean and spacious. The hotel's workout room was great, and we enjoyed the hot tub and the deck on the 2nd floor.
Nothing to be said.
The hotel was conveniently located within easy walking distance of the capitol, river, and many music venues and restaurants. The cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Could not be improved in any way.
In the heart of Texas capital, blocks from the Capital Building and in line-of-sight, the Stephen F Austin is ideally located for a weekend get-a-way or extended stay in the vibrant downtown area. The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with super comfortable beds and pillows. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home even when dining alone in the bar/restaurant. The location is perfect, within walking distance to all the attractions including the Texas State Capitol and the lively 6th Street music venues.
