Very nice B&B. Beware, LOTS of weddings on weekends in Spring/Summer. Always a nice crowd but parties can be loud and can go late. Don't hope to check in early since they are booked all summer long. It's all good but bring some patience with this place, you will be happier and so will the staff. More

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Mansion. Excellent breakfast, very friendly staff, and totally dog-friendly. Lulu the Boston Terrier loved the monogrammed dog bed and pet dishes that were provided. Thank you for a very pleasant stay, we will be coming back. More

We tried the Mansion at Judges' Hill as part of Austin Wine and Food week. I'd heard how grand the place was, and it did live up to that reputation. Marble, wood, crystal... and some really strange art. But, this IS Austin, after all. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The scallops were probably the best thing I've ever eaten in... More

The inn is lovely. We stayed in the old building and had a large room with a very modern bathroom! It is the best of both worlds. Upon making a reservation I asked if breakfast was included and the inn representative said "if you ask"? So we received a breakfast voucher. The breakfast is a full one and tasty. The... More

My husband and I stayed here on our wedding night. I got a deal on Living Social for this hotel. Having grown up in Austin and going to school at UT, I've always thought this hotel looked beautiful and wanted to try it. When we arrived, we were immensely impressed by the quality of the basic room that we stayed... More

For the most part, the experience of my stay at this hotel was enjoyable. The staff when we first checked in was extremely helpful. We were here for a business trip for several days, and in the beginning everyone was very accommodating. However, by the end it seemed that the staff had rotated off their shift and we were left...

Not far from the downtown bustle is a quaint and elegant hideaway perfect for events or a little staycation. I purchased a deal on LivingSocial since I frequently stay in Austin. I figured for the price I usually pay to stay at a chain hotel I couldn't lose. I was pleasantly surprised as I crossed a sweet courtyard from a... More

We stayed at the Mansion a week, scouting Austin for retirement. It was beautiful, our room was comfortable and nicely furnished, the food was good, the staff was courteous and for the most part helpful. Our room on the second floor was right next to the ice machine...the door was 12" away...When we were constantly disturbed at night from people... More

Late arrival at the property on a week night. Obtained a terrific rate at the last minute. My room was in the 'main'/original home building. The room was nicely appointed with a totally renovated bathroom. The entire property was maintained beautifully. I arrived too late to try the restaurant, but inadvertently walked in the kitchen after closing. It was immaculate... More
