My husband and I recently spent a weekend at the Embassy Suites Arboretum in Austin, Texas, having found no hotel availability in the downtown area. We found it to be a pleasant launch point for fun in the city. Our room was quiet, comfortable, and spacious, and the staff was helpful with driving directions. There were many options at the cooked-to-order breakfast. The hotel seems to be very popular with families. It is a 15-minute drive to the intersection of 6th and Congress, the epicenter of the Austin entertainment scene, so make sure you have a designated driver if you're planning to hit the bars and clubs. If I were returning to Austin, I would try to stay downtown, but if you don't mind the drive, the Embassy Suites Arboretum is a fine choice.
