This was the perfect place for our visit for the MotoGP races at Circuit of the Americas. 25 minute ride to the racetrack. Six of us stayed very comfortably and we would certainly stay here again. Short ride to Sixth Street and other tourist attractions. Love the sunken bath!

The host was very communicative and easy to work with, and the checkout process was smooth and hassle-free. The property is a bit dated, but that was expected given the price range and did not detract from the overall comfort of the stay.

Thank you for the great review. I figure Austin, especially near downtown, is rather funky as well, so I have a sunken bathtub and I have a Wild West bathroom w wooden walls and clawfoot tub. Lots of bamboo and an oak tree growing thru the 2nd story deck. Enjoy your next adventure & thanks for picking my spot! Kirk
