I absolutely loved my stay here, this 4 star hotel reminds me of a luxury glamping style resort. It is gated so it feels more secure and safe with all the beautiful lights within it. I arrived early and the wonderful lady at the front desk was very welcoming, she let me check in early and even offered a complimentary drink and with such a hot day out it was just what I needed! The whole layout was nice, beautiful pool with a nice bar. Tons of sitting areas and fire pits. I admit I did not walk the whole facility so I'm sure I missed a lot. A restaurant onsite and even a few food trucks near the parking lot. The room was wonderful, I loved the style you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. 2 rocking chairs and a table right outside your door, upon entering snacks and fully stocked fridge, the cute smeg fridge, and the nice sized bathroom and shower had ample room. The toiletries were a convenient touch as well as the bath robes. With this hotel being within walking distance from the Domain it was very quiet and peaceful. Side notes- check in is 3pm and check out is 12pm. $100 deposit at check in. The site says free parking but that needs to be updated because you do pay a fee whether it's a daily fee or overnight fee. No carpet in the rooms so be sure to bring some comfy slippers. Thank you for a wonderful stay staff I will be returning

Oatmeal was great and had a delicious pecan mix on the side.

Obsessed with this hotel! If the model town in Beetlejuice had an Austin version, this hotel would be in it. It has a unique, Texas retro, mildly quirky Austin vibe, smack in the middle of the Domain shopping area. It's located across from Maggionos and Dillards but walkable to lots more. The office, rooms and toiletries smell wonderful! I purchased one of their room sprays this time. The AC work even on the hottest Texas days. Wonderful shower head and spacious shower. Rooms and bathrooms aren't crowded have always been remarkably clean with comfortable beds. I didn't eat at the restaurant this time but did order the cheese tray and room service. My room service arrived 12 minutes ahead of schedule and was cooked perfectly. I always fear it will be noisy with traffic and people within the courtyard but I am always pleasantly surprised. I have never had an interaction with the staff that wasn't above average. On this trip, I found Andrew especially helpful.

Repeat visitor I stayed at LSC last year and was back to Austin again this week. I live the potential, but this visit just fell short. On check in I noticed the toilet was running but figured I'd give it a few flushes to see if it stopped. It didn't. On night two I found a few cockroaches in the room so I called the front office and also mentioned the toilet. They told me they'd give me a room credit and fix the toilet. Day 3, toilet is still running. Got my email receipt after checkout, no room credit. Love the atmosphere and location of the property but it seems to need some better upkeeping for the rate charged.

Lone Star Court was such a fun and relaxing stay. The courtyard and pool area are beautiful and feel like a little oasis in the middle of the Domain. Staff were friendly, check-in was easy, and the room was clean, comfortable, and quiet at night. Great location for walking to shops and restaurants--would definitely stay here again.

What a fine find! This is tucked in to The Domain area and you almost can walk right by it without knowing it's a hotel. We loved our stay (which was too short). We had 7 rooms booked for a quick family get-together. This was the perfect place for this. There are many outdoor seating areas and you can always pull the rockers (outside each room) for more outdoor seating. We were there on a Sunday night so it was quiet. Gas fire pits are lit at dusk and there are many wood fire pits around that could be lit when the weather and conditions allow. Check in was super easy (and make sure you ask for a complimentary Maine Root root beer). The rooms are spacious but have a minimalist vibe (maybe because of the concreate floors). I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MINI BAR LIKE THIS! It's a full retro fridge stocked with everything and anything you might want. The same is true of the snacks available. Complimentary coffee is available in the mornings in the restaurant area. This is a very dog friendly location! I would love to return to explore The Domain area more and to just to continue to veg. Parking was easy and there's one generic EV charger.

Awesome signage.

The hotel is located on the skirts of an upscale mall (the Domain) but it's absolutely charming. I guess you could call it a "boutique" hotel, whatever that means. When you first check in, you get a free beer or a free root beer. That's right. After you check in, they offer you a free beer (Lone Star, sadly), root beer, or other beverage. That's super smart customer service. The room decor is retro funky and very cute. The beds and pillows are very comfortable and far nicer than you get in a chain hotel or motel. The room and bathroom are both spacious, as is the shower. The shower was, in fact, great. There's a full-size fridge in the room, stocked with booze, so don't take anything unless you are willing to pay. There are also snacks in a basket in the room, but they aren't free so word to the wise. There's a smallish swimming pool on the property although it wasn't heated during our visit and the water was really too cold to enjoy. They have a nice restaurant on site with live music on Friday and Saturday nights (check the online schedule). We really enjoyed the music. There are two rocking chairs outside each room door. Parking is free. Rates were reasonable. It's located about 20 minutes north of downtown Austin and I would absolutely stay here again. It's a unique, funky, comfortable hotel that is a far cry from the usual cookie cutter properties.

BEAUTIFUL property and funny its a busy location but doesn't feel like you're in the middle of the Domain once you check in. The grounds felt very private and a cute 50s/60s theme throughout. There's lots of trees which helps it feel quiet and almost like a camp cabin. The check in was seamless and friendly with free beer and water offered at the front desk. The service at the bar /restaurant was also top notch. The room was clean, spacious, and the fridge is stocked with everything you could think of for almost a full bar. The amenities are well maintained and plenty of towels available on either end of the pool.

Seen better with a flash.

Lone Star court is a unique hotel/motel. I guess you would think motel because the doors open to the outside courtyard. The staff is very nice and friendly. The rooms are very clean. Full mini bar and stocked fridge at somewhat reasonable prices. The decoration is cool but the one thing we hated about the place is the huge metal bed frames that dominate the room. They look harmless at first however the frames are larger than the mattresses and the heavy mattresses are attached against the headboard leaving the metal frame jutting out into the room. The steel frames dark color, in the dark room is an absolute trip hazard. Also just as bad is that the leg of the frame is right on the corner as opposed to 10-12 inches under the bed. I was walking by the bed toward the door and I clipped the frame with my shin. The steel frame broke the skin under my jeans and I fell and face planted on the mattress. WTF Didn't see that coming! Minutes later my wife almost tripped over it too. (No we weren't drunk, just checked in lol) We were only there for a night and didn't want to mess with moving, but sure as heck didn't want to hit that darn frame again, so we stuck the provided robes and towels over the corners and used the trash cans as a barrier to avoid tripping or breaking a toe during the night. Other than some drunk noisy neighbors that decided to have a loud conversation outside our door at 2 am everything else was fine. (They quickly went inside and were quiet after my wive opened the door and let them know it was 2am) Overall I gave an average rating because the place really does have potential, and the staff was super nice. Just please do something about the bed frames!

To admit- on my own, I probably wouldn't have picked this place since I usually stick to the brand hotels, so kudos to my daughter for claiming this hotel, with a glamping (no tent) vibe. Yes, think glammed up camping cabin. It feels kinda rustic but there's also comfy robes, a spacy bathroom & shower, a full-size, retro, stocked fridge, comfy beds and couch. There's no carpet, so cold feet could be a thing - always pack slippers! Outside, there's firepits to wind down after an evening out (pick-up a s'mores kit in the shop).  There's also a pool, but that didn't fit into my plans this trip. I was working while on this trip, and day 1 spent most of my work day in the restaurant. Because, during the day it's relatively empty, it's quiet, there's food & WiFi - and at 4pm, happy hour kicks off - what more could I ask for in a work-away-from-home arrangement? Late night, there's live music. It's located in The Domain, so convenient to lots of shopping & food, and just - space. This place is cozy, it's in a great location, and a bit quirky, in a fun way. I'll be looking for an excuse to go back

The fire pits that are scattered throughout the courtyard were great for warming up and enjoying a cocktail.

I was a little concerned about noise coming from the clubs that are literally steps away, but it was not an issue the weekend I was there. Second, the property is more like an Airbnb in that there's no front desk. You get the access code via email prior to your arrival. However, that is not to say that there's no staff. I had some questions and was easily able to talk/text to someone immediately. We were in the Orange room which was comfortable and well-designed for two people. Plenty of storage space in the main room and in the bathroom. I always get nervous when I see the wall mounted AC unit, but this one worked great! Our room was nice and cold and the unit was very quiet. My only negative point of our entire stay is that the water pressure in the bathroom is a bit weak and the hot water from the sink tap takes a very long time to warm up. We enjoyed the common room with the Jura coffee maker. There is also filtered water and other beverages available at no charge. I'd like to add that the staff is incredibly friendly and kind. I look forward to staying here again soon!

We also dined at Nido, the hotel's restaurant, for both dinner and breakfast, and it was definitely a highlight. Located on the topmost floor, Nido offers stunning views of the river and downtown Austin. With both indoor and outdoor seating, the ambiance is elegant and ideal for a special evening. During our visit, we saw a couple of groups celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries, which shows how perfect this place is for special occasions. The pricing is on the higher side, but it matches the upscale experience and beautiful setting. For dinner, we ordered the Burrata as an appetizer and the Autumn Garden for the main course, along with an American IPA and a Jack Frost cocktail. Everything was delicious, but the Burrata truly stood out as my favorite. Breakfast was equally enjoyable--we had custom-made omelettes with veggies and avocado toast, both fresh and flavorful. Overall, The Loren Hotel, along with Nido, offers a great blend of comfort, excellent food, and a beautiful atmosphere. A perfect choice if you're looking to celebrate something special or simply treat yourself to a high-end experience.

The Friday night gathering was amazing. It was a perfect setting on the eight floor to talk, mingle, and meet new people. The evening was warm enough to go outside on the balcony/deck and have conversations and enjoy a breeze. The room itself is large with a water station and a bar. A few short tables were set up for sitting and a few tall ones for standing. They had a nice selection of drinks from beer and wine to mixed drinks. The food included lobster rolls, sliders (chicken and beef), a tray of different veggies and dips, little balls of cheese and something, and aroncini? My favorite was canapés of Mellon and prosciutto. The saltiness of the prosciutto added to the flavor of the melon. This event was 5***** I blame the architect for the room setup. Why would you put bedrooms on the side of a hotel next to traffic. The noise, honking and sirens. It finally quieted down around 11:30. Saturday was also an issue. They do provide ear plugs and sound machines, neither works for me. I was also surprised there was no lotion in the room. There was no microwave. Everything else in the room was top notch. Robes, slippers, a safe, a bar, and fridge. Overall, the noise is what created the 3*** rating. That was very disappointing.
