If you get a room facing 6th street area/ pub crawl area, be aware that you may not sleep until 2am due to loud music. If the hotel is sold out, you’re out of luck like in my case

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Capitol / Downtown
Room was not very clean, bathroom was dirty and had a urine smell. Air conditioner did not function correctly and the main room was not very clean as well. Parking structure was dirty as well. Stayed 20 mins and left the property to another stay at another hotel.
