The room was well a good layout. It's very close and walkable to the state capitol, Joe's Coffee and a couple restaurants. There were some people lingering around the hotel that made me a little uncomfortable, but overall, not bad. I would stay there again.

Great Place to Stay in Austin.

From the time I walked in to the time I left for the airport, I was very impressed with the property and the staff. The lobby area is clean and well lit and inviting with places to relax. I had a king room which I thought was impressively clean. The bathroom was nice with a walk in shower, they also have Dove products in their bathrooms, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap and also body lotion. The breakfast was much better than other hotels that are more expensive. Besides the usual bagels, breads, cereals, oatmeal, and muffins, and yogurt, there was egg and cheese or veggie omelets, bacon, sausage on biscuits, hard boiled eggs, sausage gravy and fresh hot cinnamon rolls. The coffee was fresh and hot. They also had an automatic conveyor belt pancake making machine. Everything was so tasty. They had plenty of seating. The pool area was nice and inviting, and they had an exercise room. The property is within walking distance of the Capitol Building and downtown and shopping areas.

Very average

The main attraction is the location; walking distance to 6th Street, otherwise the hotel has little to offer. The hotel facilities and lobby are basic, the rooms are basic and the breakfast is below basic. Both mornings we struggled to find anything that was edible. Overall and expensive hotel for what they provided
