Be sure to plan extra travel time due to on going construction you may get stuck trying to leave the hotel for a good 15 minutes or more. Overall our room could have been cleaned a bit better from the prior guest. I would look into a different hotel location when booking a stay in Austin!

Friendly staff. Convenient l9ction to Moody Center. Only complaint was we were only there one night due to a concert, housekeeping walked in the room 2 times on our check out morning (9:45 &10:45). Check out wasnt until noon. I advised the front desk when checking out very apologetic and made a note on the file. Over all great experience.
