AT&T Hotel & Conference Center

Location is super central and functional - cheap uber ride to anywhere in the Austin area and suburban Austin. Close to the major medical centers if that is what you are here for. Hotel is clean and spacious. The staff is professional and available in a timely manner. There is a cafe that has general cafe fare - a good alternative to the restaurants on-site if you are traveling with kids who don't eat much and like exploring more than they like eating. There is a small pool which was always very quiet and which my kids enjoyed. It is not a big roof pool situation, but functional and clean. We didn't spend a lot of time at the hotel and most of our interactions with staff were with the doormen and valets and they were all super and nice. There is a bit of a sterile feeling about the hotel. It's not a vibe-y place with a lot of personality and the rooms are very standard/no warmth. It's aimed toward conferences, sports events, etc and for those things it seems perfect. If you are looking for a fun family setting or a romantic getaway, I don't think this is the place. To be fair, I would definitely stay here again as it met our needs (quick trip from abroad for a family medical emergency), is close to lots of pretty outdoorsy areas, and the staff are nice and attentive without going overboard.
