Rooms seem decent, but not great and not a good use of dsu's.
All 3 of these properties are within 6-7 blocks of each other so the location shouldn't matter too much. The rooms at the Driskill are tiny, particularly the ones available for Points or P+C, and there can be a substantial upcharge to book a larger room.

That's actually typical pricing when there isn't a big event in town. The Driskill is sold out for many of the nights of SXSW and it's about $500/night when it does have availability.
