    The lift was dreadful. Slow and you have to punch a seven digit code in every time you want to use it. Tedious. The pool was nice but needs a good clean.

    The two floor suite was spacious and quiet from traffic noise. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    WiFi was poor but hotel promptly gave me another code once I mentioned something about it. Tub wasn’t draining when I arrived but lovely maintenance man Chris fixed immediately upon telling hotel. Fair amount of dust hiding behind bedside tables but otherwise super clean. Gym is subterranean so I preferred working out in room. Pool not heated

    Loved my stay! Felt like my own little apartment which was perfect for my stay. Lovely decor, great little kitchen, big bathroom, was perfect for my needs. 5 min walk to target and Whole foods as well. My room faced the courtyard which meant people can see in, not super bothersome for me and allowed nice view of pool and sounds of water fountain. Would’ve preferred a city / private view but all booked up

    I did think that all the delivered packages stacked near the front door in the lobby did hurt the ambiance of the place.....

    Loved my temporary home for a week in Austin. Friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable modern studio apartment with wonderful view from balcony. Was nice to have a kitchen even though not doing any major cooking. Great location.....easy walking to places around town. Whole Foods and Target just a few minutes walk away under the freeway. Rainey St with many restaurants also close by.

    I wasn't a fan of being on the ground floor and walking through a hall in the parking garage to get to my room.

    The building was clean, amenities were nice, and the location ideal. Apartment was well stocked with essentials to function.

    It would be nice to have a blackout curtain to reduce the brightness at night in the bedroom. The other point is that I stayed on the third floor, and the person in the apartment above made a lot of noise at night. As long as they were awake, it was impossible for me to sleep.

    My experience was great! The location helped me a lot. The apartment also met my expectations

    I stayed at Placemakr Downtown Austin with a friend after a work trip to explore the city, and overall, we had a great experience. The location is fantastic—close to the main streets and attractions, making it an easy and walkable base for getting around. What truly sets this place apart is the staff. Everyone we encountered was incredibly kind, helpful, and always greeted us with a smile, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The room was very spacious, and I really appreciated the thoughtful layout, with a clear separation between the bed and the living area. The small kitchen was well-equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The balcony view was toward a construction site, but it wasn’t a major issue. One thing to note is that, like much of the city, the area has a visible homeless population, which can feel a bit unsettling at times. However, we still found it to be generally safe. Overall, a great stay with excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and a prime location. Would definitely recommend!

    The pool was almost always in the shade, the receptionist wasn't very forthcoming with information, had to go back multiple times to ask for basic things that should have been mentioned upon check in like pool times, WiFi (which didn't even work) check out times, what to do upon check out

    Great location, quiet, ample facilities, clean

    You do have to pay $35 for overnight parking which is quite a bit

    We had a great night at Placemakr. The room was nice, very clean, safe parking, good location. We were able to check in early for no additional fee.
