"The property is noticeably older than it appears in the photos, and the cleanliness was not quite up to expectations, although it was generally acceptable. Overall, the stay was fine, but the hotel could benefit from some updates and greater attention to detail. A reasonable option for a short stay, though there is definitely room for improvement."

10/10 Excellent

"The check-in and check-out processes were easy. Brent responded quickly to messages I sent during our stay. The bedrooms were as advertised, there were plenty of pillows and towels, and the kitchen was fully stocked with supplies. The location was close to everything we wanted to do: the Alamo, the zoo, the Pearl area. It was within walking distance to great food, as well. IThere was some dust buildup and random trash under the vanity in our bathroom; most people probably wouldn't notice, but our young kids find everything. The trash / recycling situation was slightly confusing, but we made it work. Thanks for a great stay - we'll be back!"

O'Casey's Boutique Inn

8/10 Good

"Window unit was pretty loud. The staff was nice. I did not have any trouble checking in. The outside was lovely!"
