This is a great place to stay, as many others have observed before me. It's very clean and comfortable and Alexis is a great host -- her restaurant suggestions, among other things, were excellent. From her place, you can walk down to Sixth street, and even to South Congress if it's not too hot, but cabs are easy to flag down and inexpensive. Try the Jalopy just around the corner for a quick bite. If you're into literature, make sure to visit the exquisite Harry Ransom Center at the TU campus -- a real treasure trove with manuscripts, letters etc from some of the most famous American writers. And yes, The Continental is a great club.
