Update

Went to Club Lounge about 15 min before the breakfast start time, but all continental breakfast items were already prepared and had no problem to start. That was good.

One minor about the room -
this hotel page says "Sheraton Club guest rooms offer upgraded amenities, free bottled water," but amenities in my room were just regular - shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap. There was a free bottle of water, but no shower/bath gel, no mouth wash, no cotton swab, no bath robe.
I'm OK without them, but it is different from what above page advertises.

Thank you for advice. I need to head to Bastrop, where my son is in Boy Scout Summer Camp, so I'll avoid I-35 to get on to 71 East bound. (Probably use South Congress)

I just compared base rate, didn't think about parking fee involved. ($15 self, $24 valet). I'll pick Westin next time.
(I'm going to stay Aloft at Domain tonight, though.)
