This was a very nice hotel with a fun, funky design, a billiards table in the lobby bar, and a decent breakfast available (from the kitchen, not a buffet). Staff is super-friendly and helpful. It is located in kind of a "meh" area, right off the highway interchange (70/35) with nothing of real interest in the neighborhood, but there are actually several decent restaurants within a short walk. It's also a pretty short drive/ride to South Congress or even downtown Austin. Good compromise between being close to the airport and close to downtown, but you have to be prepared to drive/ride. The gym looked quite new and decent but I didn't have a chance to use it. The pool is outdoors.
