Fodor's "This elegant 14-story hotel towers near the tangled intersection of I–35 and US 290. It earns high marks for value, but feels removed from the city though it's only about 3 mi from downtown." Full review

For a larger room without breaking the bank, request a corner king.

"This upper-middle-range chain is popular with business travelers and families, and is located in Southpark, a 5-minute drive south of downtown." Full review
Star Service "Though the Omni is geared toward business travelers, this place does lure tourists comfortable with the south-side location and a lack of nearby entertainment. " Full review
Gayot "When guests enter through the back side of this hotel, the traffic noise of busy I-35 is quickly drowned out by the relaxing sound of a fountain."
Zagat4.0
"Boasting an "ideal" location with "easy access to Downtown", this Southeast Austin luxury property caters to the suit-and-tie crowd."
Travel + Leisure "The hotel's South Austin location gives a head start on a day trip to San Antonio." Full review

Frommer's "This B&B...has friendly perks for the business traveler as well as upscale amenities. ... Rooms vary quite a bit in size and layout." Full review
Lonely Planet "The wraparound porches might sag a bit, but they're a gracious place to sit a spell. Works well for guests who plan to come and go, without needing lots of personal direction." Full review
Gayot "A welcome feature is a private bath in all rooms, many with a clawfoot tub (and shower) to the delight of those who enjoy a relaxing soak at the end of the day."
Fodor's "A charming bastion of historic hospitality sits just off UT campus, amid the otherwise lackluster surroundings of student apartments and frat houses." Full review
