Embassy Suites by Hilton Austin Arboretum
Breakfast was amazing as usual. Staff courteous friendly and professional. The only negative part of our stay was the ridiculous parking fee of over $20 a day. Almost $100 for 4 days. I’m not sure the pros outweigh the $$$ of the parking. Will strongly consider a different hotel in the future.
