On the cusp of where downtown Austin meets the University of Texas campus, right over Interstate 35, is the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Austin - University Area. While not ideal for walking to either downtown or the university, it is only a 3 to 5 minute drive to each one, and parking is not much of an issue no matter where you want to go in Austin. This location made it easy for us to get to wherever we wanted in Austin, but also allowed us to avoid the expensive hotels that are in the central downtown area.
The staff here was quite friendly during our 4 nights and were more than willing to give us as many of their famous cookies as we wanted. The public areas were always clean. The bed was quite comfortable and the room was pretty spacious. Parking was plentiful and free. The wi-fi was pretty fast for a hotel. While the wi-fi was given to us complimentary, they do advertise on their site that there is usually a cost associated, so be sure to check this out before you go if wi-fi is important to you.
