“This hotel strikes me as a practical choice in downtown Austin, especially if you appreciate eco-conscious design and want to be close to the 6th Street action. I noted the hotel's embrace of sustainability, plus a distinct urban backyard dining concept-appealing for those who like a relaxed vibe. With streaming-ready TVs and even complimentary bike rentals, it seems geared towards both work and play.”
