Very close to downtown, lots of great coffee shops & restaurants within walking distance. Free bikes are awesome! We spent an entire day riding around Austin - it was so much better than driving
There is construction adjacent to this property and they begin working (very loudly) at 7am and work all day long. If you like to sleep in or dislike noise, take this into consideration.
As noted in previous reviews, cleanliness is lacking. We got a good price on staying here so I was able to justify it but I would not have wanted to pay peak season rate and experience that level of sloppiness (hair, crumbs, etc)
