I used to live in this area of Austin - a great, strategic place to stay with a Starbucks on the corner and restaurants down the road. The Alamo Drafthouse is there as well. The Arboretum area is within striking distance. The place itself is quietly tucked away in what feels like a very private, slower moving area despite its proximity to Mopac. Quiet ambiance. Room size is adequate for those only looking crash (like me), but might be tight if you're needing space for much more than that. I slept extremely well on the bed but this will vary with the individual. Price paid and experience compares favorably against Arboretum area hotels and I've stayed at nearly all of them multiple times, but I'm admittedly a low-demand, small footprint traveler. Rob's is highly recommended.
