Our stay at this hotel was perfect. We were very close to 6th Street and easily walked there. I've read in other reviews that some people felt uncomfortable being close to a homeless shelter, but honestly we didn't have any unpleasant experiences. Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. Our stay was so good our 1st night we came back our last night and received some good recommendations on where to go for dinner. We will be back for sure our next stay in Austin!
