Air conditioning didn’t get as cold as I would’ve liked. But understandable given the extreme heat during the visit. And being next to the highway leads to some very loud nights.

We loved the area it is in. Very walkable to everything we wanted to see in our very short 3 day trip. The Moody Centre was just a few blocks away. The Texas State Capital building was so beautifully taken care of and the staff were so helpful and kind. We loved the architecture in Austin and we watched for the 1.5million bats on the bridge with loads of wonderful people (didnt see that many though but it was pretty cool to read about them). Went to the Mothership which I learned the proceeds after paying the comedians and musicians and staff, go to the Humane Society (that is awesome) . People were so lovely everywhere we went. The Downright Austin pool is lovely and Lacey (our server at the pool ) was fabulous! I would definitely recommend this hotel.
