clean rooms, nice pool, on Lady Bird Lake
On the plus side, the room was quiet (despite being right next to I-35), A/C worked well, and the bed was comfortable. On the minus side, the bathroom was really small, and the hallways and elevator were a bit worn and dated. Free WiFi worked well, and there is a small but adequate fitness center. The outdoor pool is small (about 30 ft), but OK for splashing around or casual swimming. The hotel does have a nice view of Lady Bird Lake, and is convenient walking distance to Third St. restaurants. I was disappointed that breakfast was not included ($14 for a limited buffet). I prefer La Quinta, which is newly refurbished, $10 less per night, and includes breakfast.
