A friend and I only stayed here pretty much just to lay our heads somewhere and be off again bright and early the next morning, so I can't comment on the breakfast, pool, exercise room, bar, etc, etc. But, our room had 2 full size or queen beds. It was very clean with a large bathroom. The staff was very... More

The hotel is very nice, the rooms are pretty good, and we enjoyed our stay for the most part. The only thing that bugged me a little was that the first night we were there, we asked if they could bring us a Fold-a-bed because we had 1 extra person (We were in town for a football game) and they...

The hotel was ok for the price, but the thing that got me was the "incidental" charge that they hold on your credit card. We were never told about this, we were just told we needed a credit card on file in case of incidentals. I completely understood having this as a means of security for people that may damage... More

Great staff, location, and service. Every staff member engaged me in pleasant conversation. My room had a great view of The University of Texas which is across the street. Within walking distance are UFCU Disch-Falk Field, Erwin Center and DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium for college sports/concert fans. This is my preferred hotel when I'm in Austin. More
