Charming Property

Great place for parents visiting students of TXST. Charming building, comfortable and clean. Near campus and downtown area very convenient. Small issue with unit not cleaned at check in time but the management responded quickly and took care of the issue. Will stay again 100%

Great Price

Excellent prize with minimal fees for a great, unique space. Loved the mix of vintage with modern necessities. The pull out couch is actually a futon, but the use of an air mattress was a bonus. Would highly recommend

Recommend 10/10

The house was better than expected. It was clean, neat and very spacious for our family. Check in/out was super simple and the location was perfect. It was centered around everything we wanted to do. I rate this place 10/10. The only issue we had was the people that were staying on the other side did not comply with the quiet hours between 10pm-8am.

San Marcos with character

We loved staying in the Drawing Room of the Downtown Abbey. Check in was easy and very thankful for a parking spot. The layout of the place was quaint and it checked our boxes of cleanliness, character, and coziness. It was roomy and functional. The record player was a nice touch. We watched TV as well. It is walking distance to the square, however, we drove with plenty of parking available. Fabulous restaurants nearby.

Quick Getaway

Perfect for an overnight stay. I was in town to visit my daughter and attend William Beckmann’s show at Cheatham Street Warehouse. (We were keeping tabs on the game too.) Everything that you could need is within walking distance from the Abbey (i.e. HEB, Downtown, Palmer’s, Shipley’s… ) I felt a bit guilty because it was just me staying at this cozy yet spacious little place. Y’all did a great job restoring/creating a space for guests! Love the funky vibe of the place. Thanks for a neat place.
