The property itself is great! The pool are is beautiful, friendly staff, and great breakfast buffet. The downtown area in Austin is definitely what you would expect from a big city. We still walked from the hotel to 6th street at night and felt safe. It’s very close to 6th street and all the attractions. Great BBQ right around the corner. Great price and good location over all!

The only complaint I have was that the live music from Stubb's next door seemed to be amplified by the air conditioner vent on the wall in the corner on the 5th floor. It sounded like a speaker. I could make out every word from the songs they were playing and it kept me up
