Placemakr Downtown Austin

Placemakr Downtown Austin

10/10 Excellent
"Good sized room with a full kitchen making it easy to cook and not have to eat out all the time. The room was bright and airy but could have done with blackout blinds to help sleep, which I believe they are on the process of installing. Good amenities with a washing facility meaning I didn’t go home with a pile of washing. Hotel conveniently located in the downtown area making it easy to explore Austin. My room was close the tram line with the crossing bell audible in the room but after a while I got used to it and didn’t really hear it any more. Could possibly do with better sound proofing for anyone who is a light sleeper"
