Great location for us, we had a rental car. Not walking distance, but if you have a car or maybe Uber/Lyft, you'll find that you can reach all the fun stuff (Zilker, 6th street, South Congress, Rainey) pretty quickly, about 10 minutes drive. Had everything we needed, especially appreciated the abundance of shampoos/conditioners/lotions. Jon was very responsive & gave great, easy information about how to enter, check in/out, etc. Recommended if you're looking for a home base to sleep, shower and go, not lounge around because why would you want to anyway when Austin has so much fun to offer for outdoor activities, eating & seeing live music!
