Overall fantastic, convenient stay. There are several gems around in terms of dining/drinks. The bed was very soft, which gave me some back problems, just based on my physiology. Parking in the back is very tight. Just some things to know.

Fantastic stay

Owner was very responsive, property was very cute, room was clean, and the coffee/tea/water station in the common area was very convenient. Inn was walkable to a lot of popular restaurants and bars. Property provides complimentary parking (4 spots onsite, and more available at offsite lot), which is rare in Austin.

Great weekend getaway

Stayed here with a friend for a quick girls weekend and so glad we choose The Frances Modern! The hotel is beautiful and we were able to walk to most places. The common areas were welcoming and the complimentary drinks were awesome after a long day of walking around. It was January so too cold for us to actually sit in common area or rooftop, even thought they had small space heaters. Would definitely stay here again if/when we return to Austin.
