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, which are worse. I always found the rooms to be clean, comfortable, and quiet, both in the "mansion" and the new addition in back. I like the size and convenience to the campus and downtown, which are both an easy drive or a long walk. Parking is free, but crowded when the hotel is full. Breakfast is not included, but available. There are many good restaurants on Guadalupe. The hotel dining room is nice but a bit pricy.

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 hung out and stared at you when you walked back and forth from your room. If you're under 70 and aren't interesting in having anything nearby to walk to other than Wendy's, you'll probably be fine with the place.

On the plus side, the beds were comfortable and the showers worked well. But none of it felt up to the standards you thought you were going to get based on the website and on other reviews.

The staff in general seemed disinterested but not unpleasant.

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 ready at 4 pm after they made a point that check in time was 3 pm and we should come back. Only problem is that it is such a horrible part of town there was no where to go.

This is one of the worst hotels experiences we have had.

Be warned.

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 sleep, which is most important, we tossed and turned all night because the bed was hard and uncomfortable.

Needless to say I will never stay here again.
