Stay Here! It is amazing

Amazing modern property on Lady bird Lake. You can literally walk outside to South Congress and see the bats, walk around the train, walk up S. Congress to shops and clubs, walk downtown. They have a coffee station you can use downstairs . Our unit had an amazing view of Downtown. The apartment was large and had 2 balconies and the bedrooms were not connected. I would stay here again. They also had free garage parking. The beds were comfortable. They only thing that was strange were the huge bathtubs. They were hard to get in and out of and did not have grab bars. It could be dangerous for an older or very short person.

Overall stay was above my expectations. Entering the complex took a bit of time for the front desk to answer the call but after that everything was smooth sailing. The unit was clean and spacious. The instructions for the elevator and access to the unit was descriptive and easily understandable. I enjoyed my visit and look forward to my next trip back.

Nice property, great location; Sonder-managed

This is a Sonder managed property, which requires you to download their app in order to check in and receive details. All is online thru the app and messaging. Before booking, you should educate yourself about how Sonder works. Property pro’s: 1. Great location 2. Free parking for one vehicle (follow rules, otherwise be towed). 3. Beautiful property with nice sky deck with bar, swimming pool, gym. 4. Studio was nice set up for overnight stay. 5. Balcony for our unit. 6. Bed mattress comfortable. Con’s: 1. Our place was over the Aussie’s bar, which was extremely loud until 11pm. It was quiet after that, but if you need sleep, it’s not great. 2. Only two towels and nothing more, no bath mat. Almost did a split coming out of shower. 3. Didn’t seem as clean, lots of dust bunnies, counter/table smudges. 4. Only 1 elevator was working so we had to go up to eventually go down. 5. Would have preferred a view, you don’t know exactly what you are getting.

Best place to stay in Austin

The property was convenient to everything in downtown Austin and South Congress. We walked to concerts at Moody Theater & Amphitheater. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The free parking in property garage was a bonus! We have already recommend it to friends.

The hotel itself was nice, great location and parking. Unfortunately, the pull out bed was unusable as springs were missing, the mattress slanted downward and it was structurally unsound. The mattress cover was dirty as well. We had to use the actual sofa to sleep. The ceiling fan in the bedroom knocked and was very noisy. Not a great night's sleep.

YOU WILL BE TOWED IF YOU DONT PUT THE PARKING TAG ON YOUR VEHICLE. I felt like the communication needs to be better about parking. Put a big sign on the back of the door so people pay attention and don’t get towed. It was frustrating dealing with that to say the least.

The “room” was wonderful. A studio with a full kitchen and large bathroom is so much more than just a room. The pool looked wonderful and we were a few block from the bats. I don’t know why I would consider staying any where else, we loved it.

Our room was located above the pool, so it was very loud. However, the pool closes at 10PM and we were able to get a good nights sleep. Area is great for walking in town (wanted to avoid 6th street area) but still close to downtown. We were able to enjoy the amenities such as the pool and parking but were disappointed that we could not bring our child out to the common area/sky terrace to enjoy the views (we were told no minors allowed?). Would stay here again, but maybe on a child free visit.

Fantastic apartment next to the river and the Congress Ave bridge where the bats come out at sunset and you can take the tour boat for even more fun. There was a washer and dryer included in the apartment and it has access to a gorgeous infinity pool!!! The elevator is super quick and smooth. You do need to be a bit tech savvy to manage the codes to get in to everything.

We loved having free parking in the building, and the swimming pool on site was fantastic. We also loved the convenience of having a kitchen and laundry in the unit. The unit slept 2 adults and 2 middle school kids pretty comfortably with the foldout couch. The building is conveniently located to many great restaurants, attractions, and neighborhoods.

I initially chose this beautiful property based on the location and the fact that it had a balcony. Unfortunately for me, it’s located next door to Aussie’s Sports Bar where they play volleyball from 8am-midnight on weekdays (even though they don’t technically open until 11am). I was unaware of this fact when I mistakenly selected to stay here to recoup from surgery. The nonstop yelling and whistleblowing all day and night long made me miserable & I wasn’t able to utilize the balcony because of how loud it was outside.

Good but not great…

Loved the location and the fact that the unit came with a free parking spot. That said, the code we were given to enter the building wasn’t working. Luckily someone let us in and we were able to access the unit. Once in the unit, the bedding was clean but the windows had hand prints on them and were streaky. The TV did not work. Our worst complaint was the fire alarm testing the first morning we were there. We did receive notification of the testing but it was after the cancellation period had passed. It would have been better if it was conducted in the afternoon vs beginning at 9am in the morning as it lasted for several hours.

Fabulous location! We walked everywhere. All the different codes were a little confusing at first but we got the hang of it eventually. Especially the main door code - it says to push pound after the code but there was no pound option. Someone is always at the front desk to buzz you in so it worked out ok. Overall a very pleasant stay and we’d definitely book here again!

Austin Skyline Luxury

Beautiful property in a chic building. Stayed here with a co-worker to attend a conference at the Hyatt Regency next door. The condo was beautiful - just as shown in the pictures. And the views of the city and river were fantastic! Sonder was quick to reply to any inquiries I had and the check-in was simple. The large tubs in the bath are very high (great for soaking) but without any grab bars, they might be a challenge for less nimble people to get in and out of. However there is a great stand-alone walk-in shower in the master bathroom.

I wasn’t able to get in my unit. None of the codes worked, and the concierge couldn’t help bc they weren’t affiliated with Sonder. They had to cancel my reservation while I was stranded at the place at 2am. I was luckily able to walk down the street to Hyatt. They gave a refund, but we’re no help in having to pay for a last minute hotel. I would suggest NOT booking a place through Sonder
