If you just want to party and have a great location, this is your place. You can reach any bar in seconds and be part of the night life. Also very close walking distance to many restaurants and other parts of downtown. Very close to the convention center. Check in and out is very easy. If you are coming for a conference where you need sleep, I'd keep looking. It was exceptionally noisy, even with ear plugs in. I was unfamiliar with the large homeless population in Austin and this place is right in the middle of all of it so that caught us off guard, too. One right by our place plays the drums over and over again. Third bed is a fold down futon, not a couch bed.
