Gayot "Business guests appreciate the location of this property --- near the Palmer Event Center and Austin Convention Center, it is often the site of major conferences and executive gatherings."
BlackBook "Tony people are fraternizing in the face-lifted lobby lounge. And the view of the skyline from there is most expansive."
