Not worth it

I’ve never paid $50 for parking in Austin, especially somewhere that’s not downtown. Got hit with charges they couldn’t explain. I definitely will never stay here again. The hotel wasn’t even that nice for the price

This is my number one choice. Whenever I am in Austin, I prefer to stay here beyond anywhere else! I wish I could book permanently so that while in town, I can just stay at the AC always!

They let us check in a few hours early as the room was available which was so helpful! The location is great if you’re visiting the Capitol or UT Austin. We added on breakfast to our room stay as an additional cost which was worth it as we had breakfast at the Acre 41 restaurant which is attached to this hotel.
