Great night’s sleep
We needed a place to stay overnight after dinner and the theater. This hotel fit the bill. It was very reasonable and convenient to the University area. The parking is steep, but downtown parking in general is high. We could have parked for free on the street, but the area is in the music district and I’m not that brave. We had a top floor room, and it was very quiet.

Nice hotel, didn’t love the area
Room was clean, breakfast was great, nice to have coffee available outside breakfast hours.
Soap dispenser in shower was broken but we had some packed.
Area was neat, but lots of homeless people around. There is a mission or soup kitchen down the street, so at 6pm there were 30-40 homeless people outside when we were walking back.

Good, but not great
Overall this is a nice facility (not great). for an IHG Indigo facility. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety, room was very clean. No USB ports in our room which is a big minus for anyone with cell phones or other electronics. Hallway carpeting on the 2nd floor had multiple stains. The reception desk staff provided minimal or inadequate instructions on parking access, but grateful underground parking was available.
The location makes it walkable to various restaurants and entertainment such as "The Elephant Room". Centrally located, it was only a 10 minute drive to the LBJ Presidential Library.
