Austin stay
Very clean and friendly. Breakfast had a great variety and very good! Location was perfect. Beds very comfortable. Pool was very nice. One issue is an outdoor music venue located across the street. Too loud for sleeping on weekends

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.
