The location was perfect for the Austin Marathon. Both restaurants were great. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Great room for the price. We had to choose between 50 a day for garage parking or 60 a day for valet, which I was a little taken aback by. Overall, great stay and would come back for sure.

Check-in experience was poor due to short staffing at desk and a gaggle of college football fans over crowding the hall with no coordination. Rooms were not ready at check-in time but staff was friendly and compensated us with free drink tokens for their bar.
