Omni Austin Hotel
It's not well marked and a little hard to find. It's actually in a business office building. The staff was super nice, the room was clean and beds were comfy. We loved the location and ability to walk everywhere. Wish we had known more about the airport shuttle as we rented a car, paid $50 for parking ...

The breakfast was ok not a great selection. The bathroom had a bad smell and the floor needed to be swept before we checked in.
