Would rather stay here for better breakfast / atmosphere / location, but I'm also not the biggest fan of "old".
Is there anything more unique / fun about this HP (given downtown location), compared to standard suburban HPs?
Know HR is an option but would prefer north of the river.
Why not the HR? It’s my favorite in Austin. Good location right next to the “bat bridge.” Very nice rooms/suites with gorgeous views of the skyline. Very modern. Good breakfast. Next to lake and huge parks. 10 min walk to the main drag but removed from the crowds and noise....
Drisk has charm but the negatives are well documented....
