The staff here at Frame Treehouse were so accommodating. Every request was met-above and beyond. Bed was soo comfortable, water pressure- best shower ever. All amenities. Common space was perfect for business or even morning serenity.

I loved the peacefulness of this hotel and the location. While at the hotel you felt like you were in tranquil, out of the way place but you were actually a short distance from a great cup of coffee, ice cream, shopping and food. Loved everything about this hotel.

Wonderful - great place to stay in Austin. Only drawback was parking, the building only has 4 spots for 6 rooms.

Fantastic location and beautiful hotel. The team were all super helpful and nice. They helped us check-in early, figure out the kitchen, and gave us recommendations for places to visit / eat. I was a bit worried we had a room facing the street, because there was a bar with a loud band a few doors down, but they stopped the music promptly at 11pm and we slept great! There's also a noise machine in the room.

I absolutely loved everything about our stay here! The room was breathtaking and the private patio and HUGE tub were a nice touch. You can tell a lot of love was put into the design and layout of this place; I can't wait until our next visit :)

Charming and quiet right in middle of Austin. Parking in great. Walk to everything on South Congress. There are some pretty steep stairs at entry, but they were worth it IMO. Suites are charming and deck is absolutely wonderful.

I wish we had been able to spend more time there and relax in the space! We were pretty quick in and out.
The only thing that was not to our liking was the bedding - we slept extremely hot the night that we stayed there and I'm not sure if it was the duvet or the mattress itself.
Everything else was lovely, thank you!

This is our second time staying here.
Great location
We were in room 4 which was too noisy.
Hot water was very limited on our first day for a shower
Took the do not disturb sign off but room wasn’t cleaned

The room was great. The common area was very nice. Able to relax in either the outdoor or inside common area. Also literally a stone’s throw to Congress while also providing a quiet place to relax.
