Lovely, clean and comfortable!
My daughter and I spent one night here before touring TXST. We were very impressed with the architecture and Interior design! The place was very clean, temperature was well controlled and really overall positive!
Only thing that was a little bit weird was the door that connected to someone else's closet (we put the chest in fron of it), and that the house wasn't lit up from the outside so it was a little bit challenging to see from the street in the dark , in the rain. Overall- Lovely!!!!! We are likely to come again with more family members! The bed was so comfy- I slept much better than I normally do in hotels!

if I come again, I will rent the same place again
My accommodation was in an old church. There are two rooms arranged in the form of a house and two king beds. everything was clean enough. hot water and heating were good and trouble-free. if I come again, I will rent the same place again. it is considered in the center of the city, you have all kinds of possibilities within walking distance.

Great stay! Walking distance from Texas State University and the town square. Historical landmark..Cute place! Beautifully furnished and comfortable bedding. In a lively neighborhood, so expect some traffic noise. Overall great stay and plan to stay again in the spring.

My stay was amazing! The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. I’ve actually stayed at this property before and it was great during that stay too. It’s close enough to the square to walk and it has a cute, historic look on the outside and inside. I would definitely recommend!

Adorable and Walkable
Such a cute little place. My little cousin and I both said we would live there ;) walkable to lots. Perfect for she and I to stay. She's 18 so she got the futon and I got the bed. Perfect space for us for the weekend!

We loved staying at the Downtown Abbey. The old wood floors and the historic architecture were beautiful. The price for what felt like a two-bedroom apartment was phenomenal!
I would recommend a shower curtain kit around the gorgeous clawfoot tub. Showering is a bit cumbersome and it would preserve the gorgeous wood floors. We would stay again!

A/C was broken, kept kicking on but turned off after a 1 minute for that reason I got less then an hour of sleep that night in 89 degree temperatures. Even debated just driving home to Houston at 3 am.

Dirty comforter
Comforter in left room had a big stain. Had to sleep in my clothes and cover with my jacket. I didn’t see it until we came back for the day and there was no contact information.

This was a super cute place however, it would have been nice to have coffee or some kind of lite breakfast. Also had a constant issue with someone parking in my assigned spot and i was forced to park and walk in the dark in unfamiliar area. Message sent to management went UNANSWERED. Not likely to return.

Terrible Check-In
Just know if you book same day you may not receive your check-in code before arrival. My daughter had been released from the ER after an asthma attack and needed a room. I booked early afternoon, with check-in at 4. She arrived at 6pm and waited outside until 7:05 before getting the check-in code. I called the number listed numerous times with no answer and spent 40 minutes online with Hotels.com trying to get it resolved. I finally received a call from someone at Downtown Abbey and simply received an "I'm sorry. I've been away from the phone." It was an unacceptable response. Hotels.com told me codes could take up to 24 hours to receive, even with same day bookings but admitted it was not posted on the site. I didn't ask for a full refund, but I did request some compensation for the terrible service and no notice codes were not guaranteed by check-in. That was refused. After using Hotels.com for years, this is the first problem and I am very disappointed in their response.

Close to Texas State
Went to visit my daughter at Texas State and it was very close to campus. The room was very nice. Was close to downtown and easy to get to.
