We got a great deal at the Hyatt House Austin Arboretum. It's about 10 mins from Congress. Booked it directly with the hotel https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/t...n-arboretum/ausxa?src=corp_lclb_gmb_seo_ausxa
I went to drury inn last year. It was good for kids with happy hour with unlimited chips, queso and 2 drinks for dad. There were plenty of people there for roundup. The other nice part was place was gated. Its central of show, downtown but closer to top notch burger. I may look for a house or something too but already made reservations for this.
Well......seems the Hyatt we booked is no longer part of The Hyatt Group and they "cancelled our booking at no charge as a courtesy to us". So now the hunt begins.....again.
We found an Air BnB literally 2 blocks from the Continental Club, it's a brand new one and worked out about $18 a day less than the hotel. So it worked out well for us. Hyatt didn't care.
Was doing an airbnb, but the number going went down to just a buddy and me so I grabbed a room at the Wyndam Garden this week for $143. a night. I'm a no frill type, just don't want my car or I to get screwed with. Some year I'd like to camp and enjoy a fire at the end of a day.
I attended the Lonestar Roundup last year and stayed at the Blue Mountain Hotel, which I found through a recommendation. It was a real gem! The place had such a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after the day's events. The views of the mountains were stunning, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. It felt like a home away from home. If you’re looking for somewhere nice and comfortable, I’d definitely suggest giving it a look.
