Nice hotel, nice rooms, BUT we select hotels based on complementary internet and breakfast service. There is a software problem with their internet that keeps Macintosh computers from connecting to the internet. The problem is that the internet log in (terms and conditions stuff) does not work properly with a Macintosh.

We tried two different Macintosh computers with different versions of the OS. Spent 2 hours with the internet support people, the front desk people help by reseting the modem. Tried both wireless and wired. All to no avail. Unless you can get and agree to the terms and conditions in the log in screen, the log in server will not let you out to the internet.

So if you are using a PC or a ipod or ipad, you will be fine, otherwise find another hotel until this fix this. Too bad I would like this place otherwise.

Well I guess the best way to sum things up is that the place is OK for its price and/or point redemption level. Getting anywhere near Austin for under $100/night in a name brand hotel is getting pretty hard these days so there are going to be some compromises. Is the road noise there - yes but not horribly. Its is sparkling - no but its not dirty either. Its an OK place to crash and/or make a pit stop but not a place you want to spend any time in.

I had to stay here for business. I-35 Freeway is right next to it and it is extremely noisy! The windows are not well insulated and the truck noise especially woke me up many times. The room and hotel were clean and nice and there is a pool and spa indoors. The free breakfast was very lame- hardly any food. The surrounding neighborhood is scary!

We stayed at this hotel during our Texas Trip in April. We, that's my husband, my six year old son and me, stayed at Austin for sightseeing. It was quite late and we were looking for an opportunity to stay for two nights. The staff at the hotel was very friendly and give us advice, what's worth to see. The hotel is clean and the pool is nice. Generally it was a nice stay and we would come back.
