for everything!"

"We
enjoyed our stay at the Inn, it was a nice oasis in the middle of the
hustle and bustle of Austin. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms
were comfortable. Although we didn’t get to meet you, the young lady
who checked us in did a fine job of getting us settled and John was good
on the griddle in the morning."

"Everything was lovely. Thank you. I
only wish it could have been a longer stay. In the “going the extra
mile” category: My colleague and I were given a ride by one of the Inn
staffers (I don’t think we even got his name!) to our meeting in
downtown. We really appreciated it."
- Renee, San Diego, CA |

"Just
a note to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed our stay at
your lovely inn. We booked the Gothic Room for 4 days and found it to
be very comfortable with plenty of storage areas. We used the balcony
for reading and relaxing. We looked forward each evening unwinding in
the jacuzzi from our excursions around Austin and ended our day watching
television on a flat screen t.v. This is what vacations are all about
for us. Another great benefit of staying at your inn was its location
near to the downtown area. We were always just minutes away from the
activities we had planned for the day, whether it was touring the
capitol, visiting the Bob Bullock museum, experiencing the Duck Tour or
watching the bats leave each sunset from their home under the Congress
Avenue Bridge. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome. We
left Austin with many wonderful memories."

Sue, Chicago, IL |

| Staying at the Inn was
one of the best decisions I ever made!! My stay was absolutely perfect
from beginning to end. No complaints whatsoever - only my heartfelt
gratitude to everyone.
A special mention
for John, who not only made the best Quiche in Texas - he acted as an
unpaid tourist guide and top source of information on all things
"Texas". John did everything he could for myself and every other guest
who was there. Crystal was extremely helpful when I was making my
reservation via the Internet and very efficient when I was staying.
Maria felt like my "personal maid" because she was so attentive to every
cleaning detail. Not enough space to convey all my thanks. Jill, you
have done a marvelous job here. I have told everyone back home in
Scotland about all you and your staff did for me. I look forward to
returning - just as soon as I can."

Testimonials |
"I am so thankful to Crystal (staff). She was so
efficient about getting prices for us, and automatically knew just how
to arrange everything to suit our needs. She very capably handled our
food needs and made it look pretty to boot. She knew we were nervous
about handling this shower site unseen, but she reassured us at every
opportunity. When we arrived, she was there and could literally read our
minds and know our needs. During the shower, she was very quietly and
discreetly helping us with various tasks. She truly made our experience
delightful. The bride, groom, and guests were all amazed. Everyone had a
great time and all agreed the setting made the party. Thank you so much.
We appreciate everything that was done to make our event very special
and really effortless on our part. You have a beautiful inn and some
really special and capable people on your staff."
-Susan, Tyler, TX |

you went so far to make this event a very special occasion for
both our families."

invisible during the wedding. They were able to move chairs

hidden treasure in Austin."

"We
planned my son’s wedding at
Austin
’s
Inn
at
Pearl Street
in June 2007. I can’t say enough about the staff. Unfortunately it
rained… but I commend the staff for being so attentive to every
detail. They worked very hard at keeping things as dry as possible,
even included small tents without request.
The facility is
spectacular and was perfect in the wedding pictures. The food was
wonderful, the bar service was great. Jill was always available
throughout the planning process to make suggestions and to help guide
us.
I would not hesitate to recommend this facility and
this staff to handle your wedding or other event.
Thanks
again for a job well done!"
