The main drawback was the location. Close enough to the airport to hear the noise and it's kind of in the barrio.

Everything else was great. Breakfast was decent and hot. The staff was helpful. The rooms were very nice.

I would stay her again if I had a car to get around.

Hi all
Me& my wife are common guests on stay bridge suites around Austin area,usually we used to stay at reasearch blvd area, this time for a change we came here,well in one sentence I'm trapped, we have to be here at till may 3 rd& can't shift now, the reason for all of this z for last 5 days I have old towel sets at my room,housekeeping never came for last 2 days! Guys this z the worst house keeping service I ever found in us& worst of stay bridges.we even formallY complained abt this matter at front desk,no actions came yet,rest of facilities are good though, breakfast is delicious,rooms look good but service fades away all those good things, never coming back here again but will visit stay bridge suites at other area like at research blvd

Being in the hospitality business for the past 5 yr .. You come to know what to expect when going away from home... You tend to inspect and compare your hotel to the hotel your staying at . And as a previous assistant housekeeping manager and a previous kitchen manager for a Staybridge Inn & Suite and a front office manager for a Fairfield Inn & Suite in San Antonio, believe me I compared !!! When checking in (very late ) the front desk associate was very courteous and polite which I would of expected but what really impressed me the most was the clearness of the rooms... Going though all the drawer, looking under the beds , inspecting all the floors and appliances I was very pleases because I couldn't find one thing wrong... A+ in the morning when my kids woke me up bragging of the outstanding breakfast they were able to eat... I was disappointed that I wasn't able to see what this hotel had to offerfor there complimentary breakfast or to see if it compared to my breakfast at Staybridge , so i thought ... Lol. After rushing out of my bed in my PJ's and racing to catch the end of breakfast I was plesanly pleased to had the pleasure to meet Penny the kitchen attendant and to speak to the assistant general manager Mary Wetherills whom took it upon herself to to insure I didn't miss out on breakfast .... MANY THANK YOUs TO YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE STAFF!!!! I will defiantly continue to recommend this hotel to anyone who has an ear and is visiting Austin because of their Hospitality ....

I stayed at this hotel with 3 friends during SXSW 2012.
The hotel was very nice and clean, with a good gym and laundry facilities. Breakfast was ok, but not fantastic.
Traveling to Downtown Austin will take about 15 minutes by car, very quick. But there is no public transport to be had or regular shuttle service. Taxies will cost around $20.
Travel to the airport is very fast as well, only 10-15 minutes, and the hotel has a complementry airport shuttle which will pick you up and drop you off.
Hotel staff are very friendly, helpful and man the service desk 24 hours.
