Cute but Way Over-Priced
The location is fantastic and the staff very helpful, but the place is showing its age, especially for the extremely high price charged.

It was great. Was there for business. Was very unique. lol very austin. Everything was clean. I would suggest calling ahead and telling them to exclude the drinks and snacks that are in the room as they kind of took up space. Outside of that it was great.
