We arrived prior to check in and were rudyly told that check in was not until 3pm, we then went off and came back at 3pm to check in only to find know one in the office, after wandering the property and asking other employees we found the owner and inquired about checking in to our room. We were chastized for not reading the check in procedure on the web and then pointed in the direction of our keys, by now our stay here was tarnished to such an extent that it would have taken a herculian effort to change our minds. I will say that the accomodations were clean and inviting, other than the nasty smell in the entrance to the house - it was mold/must/wet, not something you would expect from an establishment that is billing itself as upscale! Breakfast the next morning took on more of the same look and feel of our check in, make your own coffee, etc and use cremora, I guess their guests don't need real cream for their coffee. If you want to pay $$$ and never see or speak with your hosts this is the B&B for you, We will not be going back.
Pros: room was clean
Cons: Service was non existent, expensive not worth the money

Although the location downtown is very convenient, and the setting makes for beautiful pictures, I strongly suggest you look somewhere else for your wedding/reception. Planning a wedding can be stressful enough, and attempting to work with the owner of Austin’s Inn at Pearl Street will definitely drive you over the edge! Unfortunately, this all fell apart the day of my wedding. The venue fee was to cover the use of the entire first floor of the Inn and Bride & Groom’s changing rooms, along with several other things. When I arrived a few hours before my wedding, I was told by my aunt (I was never approached by Inn staff), that the normal bathroom and the first floor of the Inn were now booked with other guests, and they were not available for my reception (they had mistakenly overbooked the Inn). So, my aunt was forced to give up her private bathroom for all of my guests to use! When she complained, Jill told her that there was no other option!!! When my pastor arrived, he needed to change. Of course, the groom’s changing room was booked as well and not available for my wedding! To top it off, several of my wedding guests (including my mother) said that Jill and her staff were rude to them throughout the evening. Services that were promised to me and that I paid for were not available on the day of the event. I was never informed of these mistakes by Inn staff – I had to find out from family and friends. I was also never compensated for the lack of services. There are so many beautiful places in Austin to have a wedding. For the prices these venues charge, a person should not have to put up with rude, unprofessional staff. I would definitely look elsewhere.
Pros: location
Cons: rude and unprofessional staff
