"Families are a major focus... The majority of the lodgings are small suites with one or two beds, a pull out couch and a microwave and minifridge. Big enough for your small army."
Star Service
" 8 miles east of the Austin Bergstrom International Airport, this first generation Embassy Suites is a solid pick for midrange travelers looking for added space in the heart of the city."

The small number of remaining unrenovated units should be avoided, as these are dated and dour.

"Two miles north of the university...is this large, five-story hotel decorated in the style of a Mexican hacienda. ... Guest quarters are airy and spacious, if a bit dull."

"Staffers are casual and pleasant at this friendly property, where the staff is about as sweet as the cookies at check-in. Don't expect luxury. This place is all about moderate rates and convenience."

"Originally a La Mansion hotel, this 350-room DoubleTree maintains its predecessor's Spanish colonial-style."
Fodor's
"This 1983-vintage hotel turns its back on the rat race of nearby I–35 and transports guests to a surprisingly convincing Spanish colonial world."
