The hotel is very clean, we'll kept and staff extremely accommodating & friendly. The area feels safe and we walked around every night without any issues. Just a few blocks away to sixth start is a great nightlife! Lots of bars and music. A short Uber or Lyft ride near the Austin convention Center is more upscale shopping and dining. Had a great time on this trip!

Very nice stay.
The stay was very nice and comfortable. I liked that the hotel was downtown, but I was not very happy about the 35.00 dollars a day parking, 20.00 would have been a little more reasonable. The breakfast was delicious and very filling.
