The Empty Nest is cozy, comfortable, and in a great location, very convenient to downtown Austin. Deedee was very responsive to my questions. There was plenty of space for my grown kids and myself to stretch out. The bathroom was clean and the water hot and abundant. We appreciated the snacks. The Empty Nest made a great home base for exploring Austin and I would definitely stay here again. PS We debated whether to rent a car and I'm glad we did.
