Hyatt House Austin/Downtown
I love this place. It's the only place we stay at in Austin. I was a bit discouraged on our last visit. The AC did not work well. Then it was "fixed" but still changed itself to warm temperatures in the middle of the night. It was a bit frustrating. Still like this place though.
