citizenM Austin Downtown
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.
