Glad you had a great stay and thank you for the review!

The hotel is lovely and clean, but our room wasn't ready for an hour after check in time, which is especially intolerable after driving all day. If the hotel had done something to make up for it like offering a drink or even giving our dog water, it could have been made up for. Then it turns out that the restaurant isn't open for several days of the week, so we couldn't order room service. And the person who said he would bring us some ice never came back with any. Generally it had the air of a place that was being run by college students who didn't know what they were doing while the real manager was away. The pool was pretty and pleasant if small.

Good afternoon, I am so sorry to hear that your stay was not matched to your expectations. I would love to be able to speak more regarding this visit. Expedia doesn't quite allow us to provide contact information but if you would like to call the hotel to speak more on the matter, I would love to get a better understanding of the situation and speak with you. Thank you and have a lovely day! Kind regards,

The location is great if you're going to a UT football game. We were able to walk to the game and nearby restaurants and bars.

Historic old mansion turned hotel in good location

Pros: Staff, location, and boutique size
Cons: Amenities in room need to be updated: my tv didn't work, radio iphone charger was outdated, AC did not cool adequately
Location: UT Campus, downtown dining, music and shopping
This boutique hotel located close to UT's campus and downtown is always a favorite. The staff is super friendly and personable and offer the kind of service that is getting harder to find these days...i.e. I forgot my phone charger and the lady at the front desk loaned me her personal one for the night. The mansion has restored rooms that make you feel like you are staying at your grandmother's house: eclectic furnishings and amenities, some which work and some that do not...
