Location was perfect just 2 blocks north of 6th Street and close to the State Capital and Texas University. The pool was very refreshing and the breakfast was always full with many good options. There were several people cleaning the common areas all day long and the rooms were well equipped with a fridge, microwave an comfortable beds.

The location is great, but not the best stay. The pillows were flat and bed was so hard. I am a 150lb 5’7 female side sleeper and bed so hard was cutting off circulation in my hands. Attached is picture of dirty sheets. Gross checking into a room for a week and can’t get clean sheets! Took two days to come and repair toilet. Front desk female was rude and unprofessional wearing airbuds instead of helping day guests. We paid for parking at the hotel, but each time we left garage we had to pay again. Left very unsafe. No day security. Tried to get in room elevator around 430p and there was a homeless person in the elevator. Walked out of course. Waited for another elevator, but only one worked, so had to take unsecured stairs.
