Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown - University by IHG
The hotel is a bit pricy. But it s comfortable. The parking is $45/day. But my understanding everywhere is just like that. No water in the room but coffee is complementary in each room. Rebecca in the evening was very kind. She was very helpful. Very important. no breakfast included.
