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

The small number of remaining unrenovated units should be avoided, as these are dated and dour.
Gayot "The convenience and spaciousness of suites draws travelers to this centrally located property."
Travel + Leisure "The location of this hotel makes it easy for you and the fam to enjoy South Congress Avenue, the Capitol and downtown, Barton Springs Pool and the famous "Bat Bridge."" Full review
