Traveling through Austin this week on business and stayed at this HGI for one night. Hotel is up to date, well maintained and very nicely appointed. The rooms have new furniture and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept on in quite a while (and I sleep in a lot of hotels). The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good. The hot dishes were freshly cooked and the fruit had just been cut. I would rate this HGI at the top of the pack up there with the HGI in downtown Salt Lake City. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. Also, there is a great BBQ restaurant "Bone Daddy's" just across the parking lot.

Unbelievable decor for what I thought was going to be an average hotel. We were there the weekend of one of the nation's largest music festivals.

Like others have said, the rooms were spacious, extremely clean and had everything we needed. The sleep number beds were quite impressive; although it felt like they were set perfect for us right from the start! Wi-fi was complimentary, which is another plus these days. Parking is also free, again another plus.

Several other nice touches: free coffee in the rooms and in the lobby, complimentary waters and great cookies.

The hotel is about 15 minutes from downtown - at the most. We asked about a cab and received a recommendation for a driver who will take you downtown for $25 (which is about half the price of a cab). We used his services and it was just fine!

All in all, it was a great experience and we would highly recommend the hotel to others; both business and families.

For a 3-star hotel, this was very nice. We stayed just one night. Upon arriving, we found the grounds outside to be very pleasant and once inside we were immediately greeted with very friendly and accommodating service. The lobby and sitting areas for breakfast were spacious and very nice. The room was modern-looking and spacious, had nice furnishings and a comfortable, adjustable bed (though we didn't learn how to adjust it until the next morning!). Our room was on the 5th (top) floor and we did not hear hardly any noise while trying to sleep the next morning.

The only thing I didn't like about the room was the small bathroom. It was difficult for two people to use at the same time as the toilet was right up against the tub and the vanity. But it did have a generous vanity area and the shower head worked great.

The hot breakfast the next morning (which you pay $10 for unless it was included in your room rate) was very, very good. My husband had to wait quite awhile to get his omelet, but my eggs & potatoes came out real quick and we both enjoyed our meals. Much better than the "free" hot breakfasts we've received at other hotels.

We stay at this hotel almost every time we come to Austin. Great hotel at a good price! Great location to get to just about anywhere you need to go in Austin quickly! Staff is always nice and friendly and they have sleep number beds!!
