It met my needs easily.

Sonesta Simply Suites Austin The Domain Area
Terribly run down, outdated, and dirty. Gym is falling apart. Floors are filthy. Rooms are decrepit. This place just needs to be gutted and torn down. Don’t stay here.

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown
Nice hotel. We booked it because it had a pool. The location is a little further out so we walked a lot. But the hotel is a nice property and spacious, clean and modern with a restaurant and bar onsite for convenience.
