1. If you are walking choose the other Doubletree on 15th - nearing everything, but expensive parking.

"Wrong side of highway - need car - free parking " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/11/2012 Vote

2. I wish we had just stayed at this hotel becuase the other hotel was under construction and not near as friendly, not to mention all the added expenses that this hotel offered for free.

"Excellent customer service " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/21/2012 Vote

3. It was an okay hotel for the price, most of the hotels in Austin for the week we were visiting were a lot more expensive.

"A great location close to downtown Austin " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/31/2011 Vote

4. + To/from airport is easiest by Taxi : ~$25+ Free parking (it can be expensive downtown)Cons:+ Whilst rooms are in good condition, they are dark+ Whilst wifi is now free (for basic 512/512), premium wifi (756) seems much slower - Skype video is very jittery with either option+ The aircon unit in the bedroom is very noisy and goes on and off as temperature is adjusted+ At least in my room the noise from the adjoining freeway was also noisy + Outside pool looks smallTop Tip:+ I enjoyed a 20 minute walk to Guadalupe to have breakfast at Einstein Brothers Bagels (2404 Guadalupe St) walking through the University campus.

8. We paid for a movie and although it was a good movie it was hard to enjoy because their was a sharp ringing noise the whole time the movie was playing; the move also was rather expensive at 14.
