Does anyone know of a pretty good hotel in austin close to UT (not a ratty one please)?

Answer 1

How close are you looking to be? I'd go on Expedia and use the hotel-search feature for "Near an Address." For the address you want to search by, you could use 1900 Guadalupe, 2300 Guadalupe - those are both right at or across from the campus. Lots of nice hotels downtown within a short drive -- Downtown is very close to UT. There's a Radisson downtown at Cesar Chavez, right on the lake, there's a Doubletree that I think is maybe even closer to campus. On South Congress there's the San Jose which is very cute and funky but it's a little further away - no problem if you've got a car though. There's some fancy mansion that they've turned into a hotel that's on I think Martin Luther King, close to the campus, if you have tons of money. If you won't have a car you should search online for the schedule for the "Dillo" bus. I know some of the Dillos go from the downtown area a few blocks north of the Radisson (safe walk on a main street) to the UT area. I think they're either free or 50 cents and they're quite pleasant, as buses go.

Answer 2

There's a Days Inn across the freeway, but I don't know if you consider that ratty. If you head towards downtown there's a Double Tree Hotel and I think a Holiday Inn Express or something. There are some nice hotels around 15th street and Guadalupe, and they're not too too expensive.

Answer 3

there is a double tree close to UT. its a really nice hotel, not to overly expensive though.

Answer 4

try going to starwoodhotels.com They have beautiful rooms with decent rates. For examle when I went to chicago I had a 2 rm. suite with 2 dbl beds, and a single love seat hide a bed for 89.00 per night. (not to mention the spa and pool)
