Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown
The hotel is nice, clean and quiet. My only complaint would be they wanted $5 for drip coffee, I've never paid that for a sub-par cup of coffee before.

ROOST Rainey
Really loved staying at the roost on Rainey. Bed was really comfortable and the rooms and common area were very cute. Was a little loud at night due to Rainey street but no biggie.

Hotel Van Zandt
Great hotel with friendly and relaxed vibe. Front desk staff always helpful. Excellent bar and restaurant. Didn’t get to use pool area but it looks a good spot for relaxation. The bars of Rainey Street are on the doorstep and it is an easy walk or uber to other downtown locations.
