The room was clean and just as in the photos. There were no unwanted surprises. We picked it because it was walking distance from Darrell K. Royal stadium (about 35 minutes); a much better option that driving through traffic and paying for parking. If you really like to walk, you can also walk to downtown locations such as the capitol building or Stubbs BBQ or even the shops and restaurants on South Congress, although that would be a bit far for most. The check in was easy. The air conditioner and heat worked good, and the bed was comfortable. It was also very close (about .6 mile) from the H.E.B. grocery store. This is a great place for two people that want to be fairly close to the action without paying a ton of money.
