Good place to stay
all was good except the bed mattress was too worn-out and thin.

Although staff was nice once I found the office ( no email with check in instructions was sent), the location can be confusing as there was no property map or direction provided. Parking is also an extra $35/night but that wasn’t listed in any online information. Room is nice-ish, but not clean. Hair and debris is everywhere. The shower drain is clogged and with only two towels for two people, with no instructions on how to call housekeeping can be frustrating.

Cool 2-room "suite"
We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly choose the Placemakr again, the next time we're in Austin.

The location to the convention center was great. It was around the corner from the restaurant Moonshine that was amazing. My only critique is the laundry set up is confusing it could be better especially since to purchase a card for 1 time use was $10. And the roof top deck was pretty but the furniture could be cleaner and better kept. Overall this was a perfect hotel and I highly recommend it.

Solid Stay
Solid Austin stay! Property was centrally located and clean. Maids were very helpful getting towels, sheets, etc. Check-in was very simple. My only complaint were the pillows were like bags of air and would slip into the gap between the sofa frame and matress (studios have fixed sofa beds as main beds). Other than that, exactly as advertised!

Great hotel.
Communication before and during my stay was great, even if it was for just 1 day. The only issue i had was with the wifi, it would cut off some times and we had to use our phone for hotspot.

Perfect spot for downtown Austin.
We had a great 2-night stay in the 2 bedroom apartment. The whole process was easy, and the location was perfect for fun downtown. Would definitely stay there again.

Great hotel / lodging concept!
Wish more hotels would follow suit. Clean, comfortable, privacy & efficiency! Less waste with these mini apt style rooms that are fully stocked & self contained! Loved having outdoor space & pool (wish it was heated & lap swim but that’s clearly not deal breaker). Great location and smart design of the space. Only downside is noise factor for rooms facing the street..

Wouldn't do it again
The rooms were laid out ok - it was the little things. I (& my co-worker in her room) bought cleaning supplies. The dishes needed to also be re-washed. Things were so/so clean but not clean if you looked at the surfaces. My fuse breakers for the air conditioner kept tripping and the room would get really hot in the night (glad it was Nov & not Aug). My co-worker had to change rooms twice for air conditioner not working at all, the smell of dog (it is a pet friendly hotel) in the 2nd room - 3rd one she just cleaned and stayed. The staff were great!! Friendly and kind!! I have stayed in many places in Austin - I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Amazing, you won’t regret it!
This was one of the most amazing stays we’ve ever had! The apartment (hotel room) was so beautiful, clean, and newly renovated. It was also very safe and secured. We could not stop raving about it and how it was a much better option than a hotel. We didn’t want to leave. This is now the only place I want to stay when I come to Austin, and I’ll be checking out their other properties in other cities.

Do not go to this hotel!!
Nothing worked.
I did not get room I paid for in advance!
Got my room just before 6 pm.
Locks did not work.
I was forced to reset the TV several times before I was able to use it.
Construction around the hotel.
