Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown
This hotel was perfect! The hotel was beautiful and the location was fabulous! The weather wasn’t the greatest during our stay but having a heated pool outside still allowed my 11 year old to enjoy the pool. We would like to return to Austin and when we do, we will def stay here again.
