The room was BADLY shopworn, and the bathroom lighting was a complete joke - I had to stand by the window with a mirror to even put on lipstick straight! Not what I expected for the price. It's as if no one thought about what would make someone's stay pleasant and convenient. Also, doors were being slammed up and down... more

Just returned from 2 nights at The Mansion this week. The first night I was given the "dreaded little room beside the check-in desk." Even the front desk employee seemed sorry to hand me the key. In their defense, I booked a room at this hotel after they had a cancellation so I had a feeling...... It was a tiny... more

Hotel is very densily built around courtyard and open garage. So, the noise is really horrible if you stay at the courtyard side. For the rest, the hotel is ok-ish, nothing special, although I like the historic mansion where the restaurant is located. more

I stayed at the mansion for my sister’s wedding and was very happy with it over all. The rooms were beautiful and seemed very rich and fine. My room was a standard hotel size but the bathroom was pretty impressive. My sister’s room was enormous and had a huge glass walk-in shower, a nice sitting area, a big king size... more

Stayed here for a weekend business trip. Thought it would have been a nice retreat from the standard business hotels since we didn’t need all the normal computer access. I'll start with a positive. In general the hotel was very clean. The bathrooms especially were VERY nice. The room was a basic hotel room. Now, here’s why I would never... more

My wife and I have stayed here a number of times in the past few years while our children were students at the University of Texas. I like it because it is away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown and the U. Texas campus , which both can be roudy, I have stayed here on nights of football games,... more

This hotel feels very much like a retirement home or assisted living facility, albeit a nice one. The decor is generic. Not elegant and definitely not at all hip which is fine if you're getting something beautiful in return. Our hallway included something that looked like a "nurses station" but was really a room where the mostly surly housekeeping staff... more

Their website is completely misleading. It is in a very unappealing part of town surrounded by fast food restaurants, frat houses and not much else. There is no lobby to speak of. The staff is awful. People walked into our room without knocking or apology. Our room was not ready when we checked in at noon. It was still not... more

Mansion at Judges Hill is a beautiful botique hotel in Austin. My husband and I stayed there for a weekend getaway. At check-in you are greeted with warm fresh cookies from Tiff's Treats (an Austin institution). The hotel is beautifully decorated with antiques and landscaping. We ordered room service, which was absolutely delicious! However when it came to our nights... more

First of all, i'd like to say something positive about the Mansion. The restaurant and the server, Matt, were awesome. The food was also top notch, and being a chef, i was impressed with the presentation as well. In retrospect, I wish I wouldv'e eaten there, and saved the money staying elsewhere. Here's where it all went wrong... I booked... more
