Great location right in the heart of Austin
Top rate hotel, and the location is ideal. You can walk to the capital, and are literally on campus at the University of Texas. However, it is expensive. We booked on Hotwire, and got a great deal, otherwise we would have not chosen this hotel. It's designed as a conference center, the rooms are great, lots of ammenities. One of our travelers went down to the bar in the evening, she said it was noisy, which was a negative because she was looking for a place to relax after a long day, but it did have French wine. Been to Austin many times, but would not stay again, prefer a better value for the money.
