The Frances Modern was so wonderful. The bed was insanely comfortable and everything was designed beautifully. There was free coffee and water in a communal area and an amazing roofdeck with views of the city (where we sat and listened to a blues show happening in the park across the street). It had some amazing restaurants and shops very close (shout out to quickie pickie for amazing breakfast tacos) and it was easy to walk down to the bars on 6th. We even walked home one evening from the central downtown and never felt unsafe. As some people mentioned, there are only a few parking spots out back, but they helped us get set up in their other free lot which is only two buildings down and super easy for getting in and out of. We couldn't have asked for a better stay while in Austin!

Where to start - loved this little gem of a hotel. Check in was easy, room was clean, staff was friendly, and above all it was quiet.. even during a SXSW weekend. Maybe the best was the bed and luxurious bedding.. oh so nice! I would stay here again in a minute! Also, the restaurant on the first floor is first rate - walking distance to places like Paper Boy, Quickie Pickie (small grocery and good food), vintage bookstore and a few other neat places! If this is available, book it!
