    Fun for all ages! Be prepared to have some fun, to run, to jump, and to even roll on the floor. I did not know what I was going to when I went, when I think game room, i really don't think getting active. But this was an interactive game room. It was like a real life video game. I loved it. I recommend you wear workout/comfortable clothes that you can move in. And if you're older like me... Stretch before you go lol

    Take as many team/individuals as you like.

    This is the place you were looking for when you pondered, what the F am I going to organize during our offsite for fun. Went to Activate Games for a work event and came out sweaty, laughing, slightly competitive, and oddly closer to my coworkers than HR probably intended. There are so many games--and they hit every personality type. Some feel like a high-energy carnival where chaos reigns and instincts take over, while others are full-on tech mode: lights flashing, lasers firing, brains overheating. You can work together like a well-oiled machine... or absolutely blast your mate when the moment feels right. Both are acceptable. Encouraged, even. The best part? It's actually fun. Not forced-fun. Not "team-building icebreaker" fun. Real fun. The kind where a room full of Type-A personalities forgets titles, deadlines, and egos and just goes all-in--sometimes as teammates, sometimes as rivals, always laughing. Mildly competitive? Sure. Or go top-rope, no-mercy mode and chase the leaderboard like your pride depends on it. Bonus points: * Surprisingly great workout * Not expensive for what you get * Perfect for work outings, families, or friend groups * Builds team spirit, camaraderie, and maybe a little friendly trash talk Bottom line: Activate Games turns coworkers into teammates, teammates into competitors, and everyone into kids again--for at least an hour. We had a blast, and I'd go back in a heartbeat.

    I took my two kids and two of their friends here to go play for an hour. I'm not gonna lie it looked like so much fun and I really did want to jump in. They have about a dozen room set up, and each room has multiple game options to play inside of it. Each player scans their wristband before they enter and the wristband tracks their movement throughout the room. Each game lasts approximately two minutes each. They can play as many games as they want for an hour. It honestly looked like a pretty good workout too. The assistant manager helped us check in, and I actually called an advance.Because I had a gift card to use and it wouldn't let me use multiple and when transaction. She was super nice over the phone and was the same one that checked us in whenever we got there. My only feedback that I have is that whenever it is time to leave, It would be really nice if there was an easier way to just scan your wristband back in and then leave as opposed to waiting in the same line that people are checking into.

    I didn't know what to expect until I was already inside. You get these wristbands and scan them outside of each room. There are multiple games to choose from involving dodging, jumping, and throwing. Each game is about 1-3 minutes. Once you finish the game, you exit the room to allow others to play. Progress is saved so if you go back, you can continue progressing as each game has multiple levels. At the end of our 1 hour slot, I was sweating so much. I don't usually exercise so this was a great way to get me moving! It was a lot of fun!

    We had an absolute blast at Activate Games-what a treat! Check in process was really easy. They give you a wristband to keep track of your points for the games, and also a wristband to store personal belongings in a locker. Everyone we interacted with was super helpful and walked us through everything. They even gave us some recommendations for games to play. There are SO many different games to play for all skill levels and ages. You will definitely get a workout in playing some of these games so wear comfortable clothes and shoes! There is a giant parking garage located right next door so parking was not an issue, even at 5 pm in the domain. They also have a couple of party rooms for birthday parties or team events. We will absolutely be back!

The property reminds me of something that you would see in a movie somewhere in the southwest where people are just trying to hide out and not be found. It has such a cute rustic feel, with a lot of Texas flair. From the minute you arrive, you are given great service, greeted with amazing sense of essential oil, oils and leather with their signature fragrance in the form of a candle or room spray. For just $30 we were able to check in early at 1 o'clock instead of three which was great since I drove in town and had a lunch reservation, this gave us time to get unpacked and rest for a minute before heading over to the restaurant. They have lots of options in the mini bar, whether you are wanting an adult drink or just something cold and fizzy. When we arrived, they did give us a complementary bottle of water as well as a cold beer that I sat out on our little porch and enjoyed as the rain started to come down. I love all of the detail put into these rooms, it is such an amazing property, but I'll be honest there were way more kids than I expected, but it was Easter weekend so I guess a lot of families were traveling. I really wanted to get into the pool, but it was massively crowded. They have an outdoor bar as well as a café on the property that has live music and an enormous fireplace and plenty of big screen TVs to watch sports. Every evening they light up the fire pits and if you want to make s'mores, you can purchase a s'mores kit for just $10. They do not allow smoking in the rooms but allow you to smoke on the little patio outside your door. This has definitely become one of my favorite places to stay in Austin, which is difficult because there are so many amazing places in Austin, but Lone Star has definitely stepped into my top five. The young man that checked us in was great and he comped our valet parking! Truly phenomenal service. I'm looking forward to coming back!

This boutique hotel delivers a resort-inspired experience with an upscale twist and is known for its vintage charm with modern amenities. I arrived on Friday night and check-in was efficient, I had to provide my credit card for incidentals. I was given a choice of beer or bottled water upon check-in. The host directed me to my room location. There were several parking lots on the property and I was able to park close to the building with my room which was convenient. The provided a parking permit for complementary parking. The rooms offer a seamless blend of modern comfort and relaxed luxury and well-designed with a very open floor plan with a farmhouse door separating the restroom from the bedroom area. I was on the third floor. Each room had rocking chairs out front for a relaxing vibe. I especially appreciated how easy it was to step right outside and be in a communal space. it made connecting with others throughout the weekend effortless. One of the highlights was the courtyard area. Whether it was live music, lounging by the pool, or just gathering around in the evenings, the atmosphere felt lively without being overwhelming. It struck a nice balance between fun and laid-back. They had many communal areas set up with fire pits and a nice outdoor communal bar area where we held our silent disco. They also had a great event space where they hosted our group. The Water Trough bar and restaurant provided a breakfast and dinner dining experience. They also had an indoor bar area with live music for entertainment. Only issue was they did run out of food at dinner. The location in the Domain is also a positive. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance, so there was always something to do between retreat activities. If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the social atmosphere can get a bit noisy at times, especially if you're looking for a quiet stay. But for a group event or weekend getaway, it actually adds to the charm. We contributed to the noise with our outdoor kareoke set-up. Overall, Lone Star Court is a great choice if you're looking for something comfortable, stylish, and built for connection. Perfect for group retreats or anyone wanting a more lively, communal hotel experience.

The room was very nice and the hotel is clean. We stayed on a Sunday-Monday in June so we expected some Summer atmosphere at the pool. There was no bartender and ordering drinks to the pool involved scanning a menu and calling it in like room service. Armando then brought it out and was nice enough. Due to that, they were up charging and taxing each drink. So a $16 margarita was $26 due to room service fees etc. There was only one other couple there and we found the pool to be very boring. It's small and a few more people overwhelms the space. After our stay, I reached out because, besides the two drinks we each ordered, there were unrecognized charges to our room in excess. The hotel took care of them and even removed the uncharged room service delivered drinks which was nice. I got a survey and sent some feedback about some loose tiles and the drink/pool experience and I got a nice offer from an Assistant Manager explaining the pool area and offering us to come back. I took him up two weeks later this time on a Saturday and it was much more lively and busy at the pool. Kids, families, couples all mixed together jockeying for seats. This time they had a bartender who did an awesome job with the extreme demand of everyone but no other service but that. A few guys in suits (managers) came out to watch him work but that was it. The room again was immaculate and enjoyed as well as that manager sending a nice cheese plate and prosecco. Upon checking out the next morning I once again had erroneous charges to the room. (I think they charged me for the provided cheese plate etc). Once again I contacted and they removed them. Once again I took a survey and said this hotel needs to get its accounting right as soon as possible. They had fixed some prior survey issues around the pool which is great so hopefully they respond to the double instance of phantom charges again and get it fixed for all guests.

Bumper pool table, couches and seating areas. A small bar with some pretty unique cocktails. Apparently it was a hopping place on Saturday night. By the time we got there, ordered our drinks and sat down on the couch, a group of people came in and sat near us with drinks in hand. Guess this hotel lobby is the trending place. The vibe is pretty cool. It doesn't feel like a lobby. Just seems like a chill place to talk and catch up without a lot of noise and distractions. I believe the bar in the lobby is open to midnight. I got a mint cookie drink. And literally tastes like a liquid mint chocolate cookie. I could have had 4 more. Yum, minty.

We frequent world renowned James Beard award winning bars in operation since 1938. As I'm still on a long term euphoric high from the whole week, I'll reserve any sort of official ranking, but this was one of the best mixology experiences I've ever had.
