I was here mostly for the saltwater pool, which is more of a lounger than a swimmer, and it was excellent. The room was comfortable and stylish and I was impressed by the HVAC system. It was very humid weather during my stay but my room never got damp and the air was always pleasant inside. Not easy to do in central Texas summer in the rain! The restaurant and bar were well-decorated with live plants and artwork. People commented on my trip photos saying “ok Wes Anderson!” which I thought was fun and accurate. I will definitely be back to stay again.

It was a cute hotel but the actual accommodations tower was more university dorm than hotel. Also there was no security pass to the elevators which were open to the street and quite far from reception. Lastly - the fridge in the room was completely full of beverages for $$ - and when I moved them to try and fit in my own snacks - I ended up getting charged for drinks I never consumed. I phoned to have the charges reversed - but to date I haven’t seen the credit.

We had a parking problem the first night, we had requested parking but there was none when our plane was late so we had to park on the street. Otherwise, all was fine!

Always love staying at the Carpenter hotel but unfortunately this visit I wasn’t feeling my best on this trip so I ended up staying in my room or at the pool - which and any other place would have been the downfall but between great room service and walk ability, it was quite the Haven.

We (2 adults, 9-year-old, and 2-year-old) stayed at the Carpenter hotel for one night (Saturday-Sunday). We paid a small fee for early check in and they had our room ready with the requested pack n play when we arrived. Parking on site was very easy (received free parking for booking through Expedia). The hotel was very clean and had a cute boho chic vibe. The check-In person was very friendly. We used the cafe and the restaurant and both had excellent service, food, and drinks. We also used the pool, which was very nice! The room was functional, clean, and comfortable- bed was comfortable! The check-out times is at noon, which I thought was generous compared to other hotels. The location was perfect! Walkable to multiple restaurants, parks, and outdoor spaces. Highly recommend this hotel and plan to stay there next time we’re in Austin! The only con I can think of is that the bathroom only has a shower, so might be a deterrent for families with very young kids.

The hotel is aesthetically just cool, location is great, on site coffee shop, restaurant and pool made the stay very convenient. Loved the ambiance of it all. Staff were friendly. Only downside is that I was working remotely during my stay and my room faced a doggy daycare and dogs were barking loudly from morning until late afternoon.

This was a very cool place to stay on our quick trip to Austin! If you are into retro stylings and re-purposing old buildings, this is the perfect place for you!
Be aware the rooms do feel a bit barebone, however I believe it is intentionally stylized that way. It is quite a different experience, since all the interior walls and floors are cement block and concrete!
The onsite restaurant and coffee house are quite excellent, in fact the coffee house is quite popular with the general public, so it can be quite busy at times.
Also , I was taken off guard by the $25 dollar a day \"Destination Fee\" but I guess I should have read the fine print....
All-in-all it was a unique and enjoyable experience in a very chill atmosphere, and I would highly recommend!

Multiple days of additional charges of amenity fees and parking add up quick. Found out about the guest happy hour in the cafe on the second day of our trip, free glass of sparkling wine was nice. It was rainy and overcast for most of our trip so we couldn’t use the pool. Water seemed a bit chilly so it would be nice on a very warm day. No in room coffee. No fridge for personal food and beverage, just mini bar options. Deluxe king room was immediately behind dog daycare/boarding, could hear dogs barking the majority of time in the room even with the door shut and privacy wall engaged.

We had a great stay at the Carpenter Hotel. We love the cafe and restaurant, and finally decided to splurge on a hotel room for the weekend.

The rooms were comfortable, spacious, clean, and well designed. The balcony had a great view of the pool and a bit of the city.

It’s central to great shopping areas like South Congress, a walk away from Zilker Park and Lady Bird Lake Trail, and easy to rent a scooter to get around the city.

Would 10/10 stay again!

The hotel is very pretty but not very sound proof. They are next to a doggy daycare so we woke up to dogs barking every morning.when someone would shut their door, it sounded like our door was opening.

The staff are all really nice. The rooms are nicely done.

The other issue I had was the parking. I got free parking through Expedia but the hotel charged me for it. I told the staff about it, she took it off. When I got home, they charged me again but more. I called to ask about the charge. She comped me again but not for the whole amount.

This was a nice- just nice not great- property. The price was to high for what you get AND you get charged for overnight parking per night-$35.00! No iron, coffee, or microwave in room and the bed was super low to the ground. On the plus side it is a very clean and pretty property- lots of plants it looks nice. It is cute-very retro and spare. But definitely overpriced.

You oversold / overbooked my reservation, so I had to find new accommodations in between flights on my way into town by calling hotels directly.

I paid more, it was stressful, the whole experience was a pain in the neck.

I don't believe that I will ever use Expedia again.
