Moxy Austin - University
It was a fun, lively, and got us in the mood for our concert! It is a no nonsense room with very little to get in your way, but the decor is neat and the bed was comfortable and nightstands are always a plus on both sides! Friendly, welcoming staff!

The check in staff was very informative and friendly. Though check in is at 2pm we were able to check in early which was beyond wonderful. The rooms are a little small, and the beds are a smidge stiff for my liking, but overall it was a great stay. Perfect for what we were needing.
