Why Concert-goers love it

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, guests enjoy a free continental breakfast—a lifesaver after a late night. Grab-and-go snacks are available in the lobby, and several late-night eateries are within a short drive or rideshare. Though there’s no bar in-house, nearby options offer plenty of choices for food and drinks pre- or post-show.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have a bar, its location makes it easy to reach Austin’s vibrant nightlife districts. Whether you’re headed downtown, to South Congress, or the East Side, you’re just minutes away from bars, lounges, and live music venues.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and reliable Wi-Fi.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel could use a refresh in certain areas, and a few mention that the breakfast options are a bit basic. Also, the lack of an on-site bar or restaurant might disappoint those hoping to hang out late without leaving the hotel.
