Joannie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was well kept and just like the photos. Barton Springs was an easy walk with a lot of food options near by. Totally walkable to downtown Austin too! They make you pay for parking on site which isn’t listed here and was a little disappointing. Otherwise, an awesome stay and would stay again!
Mackenzie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

With all the extra charges at check in and check out, (without room-service) one might be better off to book the room directly with the hotel instead of an off-site platform, no savings, but worth it. Pool area is really great. the place has an authentic Austin vibe. Staff are among the best. We will stay here again.
Ricky, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Reuse of an older building. Eclectic area.
Marguerite, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our second stay at the Carpenter. The location is walkable, and easy to get around to other areas of Austin. We liked sitting out on the patio in the room. The room service for coffee in the morning was very quick, as was the service at the pool. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
