Lonely Planet "Families are a major focus... The majority of the lodgings are small suites with one or two beds, a pull out couch and a microwave and minifridge. Big enough for your small army."
Star Service " 8 miles east of the Austin Bergstrom International Airport, this first generation Embassy Suites is a solid pick for midrange travelers looking for added space in the heart of the city." Full review
