Nice and new, a little pricey
First trip to Austin, so nothing to compare this to and not a lot of local knowledge to comment on things like location, etc. Hotel was very new, clean, room was very large. Breakfast in the morning was fine, pretty standard for Hamptons. Paid extra for parking. When we got back to hotel at 10:30PM all parking was taken, but the staff let us park in the last "check-in" parking spot. Not sure what people that got there later than us did for parking. The location seemed a little bit of a compromise. Not really downtown, a few blocks one direction to the capital, a few blocks the other direction to the Univ of Texas, but not much around the hotel itself. The price was significantly higher than what I usually pay for Hampton Inns. Perhaps it was in line with Austin in general, maybe it was the particular weekend, not sure. The place was full so price wasn't an issue in general. But after tax and parking, the bill was around $275 for one night which seemed a little high.
