THE place to stay!
I've stayed at this hotel time and time again when I visit Austin and I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The front desk staff make the stay so enjoyable. It's great to always have a friendly face welcoming you back "home" from from a fun day in such a great city or helping you in the morning with directions and great restaurant recommendations. I love that they had free water bottles as you walked out the door - a must in the Texas summer heat (and my son LOVED the free popcorn snack every afternoon). It's a perfect location, close/easy access to highways, a short drive into the heart of the city and there are restaurants within easy walking distance. For me, it's certainly THE place to stay in Austin!
