Quirky, funky, but great location. The good: Room had a great view of the lake and bridge, and the pool was very nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. But the room itself felt a little 'off' - The not-so-good: The bathroom/shower area needs work. Toilet was an issue, the shower only had a half wall, so floor was always wet. Counters had a strange intentional 'rise' in the middle of both counter tops, so you could not really use the space. Lighting in bathroom was equivalent to 'candle light', so difficult to see for makeup, etc. There were repairs in the ceiling that were not completed and lots of paint missing or rubbed off in places. There was no 'dresser' or anywhere to put your things down. Tiny closet (painted black inside with no light) included with the fridge and coffee; placement seemed odd. No microwave. A nice small table in the room, but only one chair. The bed was only about 10 inches off the ground, so not great for seniors. Bedside lamps were extremely short, so difficult to use for in-bed reading. Pool bar had good drinks, but staff was not friendly at all. (Other guests remarked the same to us) The on-site taco restaurant was delicious, but bring your large wallet! Like most things in a tourist city the size of Austin, everything is way over priced. Enjoyed the city very much and the hotel location is great. But be prepared that it's definitely not like a typical 'chain' hotel in expectations of the room plan and amenities.
