Parking is convenient, but expensive almost $50/day. Breakfast options on day 1 were good, on the second day we did not like them as much. There was very loud music being played at a bar/restaurant close to the hotel. When we notified the front desk they very promptly switched our room to a different room on the other side of the building where the music did not bother us, this was very good of the hotel staff. Overall a very nice, compact and convenient place to stay.

We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed it. The hotel provided everything we needed, was well located in a slightly quieter part of town but all our restaurants and bars were easily accessible on foot. Breakfast was plentiful each morning and slightly changed day to day. The beds were comfortable and the swimming pool was a great bonus. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Austin.
