Hyatt House Austin/Downtown
It was spacious and quiet!!!! It also had lots of lobby space and also outdoor seating area by the pool. The bed was comfortable as well. It was in a good central downtown location but about a block away from all the loud craziness of downtown.

Bring earplugs. The third floor is at the same level as the freeway, which is a few yards away. There is very little sound deadening and no blackout curtain. The small studio is well-appointed, but the noise and light show make sleeping tough.

Everything about it was great except that the sound machine in one of the rooms was broken and it appeared clean but was not thoroughly clean.
