The LINE Austin
Room was stunning. Loved the hotel decor. Everything was super clean and I loved the stocked fridge with drinks and snacks. The only downsides were valet parking only option and the front desk staff that checked us in was not friendly. Otherwise great hotel

Placemakr Downtown Austin
A really nicely appointed apartment in a good location. It’s walking distance to most of the sights and nightlife that Austin has to offer. All the staff were friendly and efficient and the place was spotlessly clean. There is a lot of construction around the place but I thought it was very well ...
