Snel Overzicht: A surprisingly pristine sanctuary sitting smack in the middle of Austin's most notorious highway construction project.
Beoordeeld door @HtlVidder: I booked this room for a quick getaway and was honestly shocked by the size of the jacuzzi! It’s right in the corner of the room, perfect for a private soak. The bed was super comfy too. Definitely a hidden gem in Austin if you want affordable luxury.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- The outdoor pool is seasonal (April–October) and unheated
- There is NO bar or restaurant on-site, only breakfast

Wat je mee moet nemen

Kamer Genie
Beste keuzes
- Pool-view rooms (odd numbers on the back side) buffer the highway noise significantly
- Top floor (4th floor) to minimize foot traffic noise
Kamers om te vermijden
- Highway-facing rooms (even numbers, usually) – you will hear the construction
- 1st floor rooms near the side exits (noisy doors)

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the construction really that bad?
Yes. It's a multi-year, 12-lane expansion project. Expect concrete barriers, detours, and dust.
Is parking free?
Yes, self-parking is complimentary. The lot is secure but can get dusty.
How far is downtown Austin?
Without traffic, 15 minutes. During rush hour (7-9am, 4-7pm), plan for 45 minutes minimum.
Is there a shuttle?
No. You absolutely need a car or a generous Uber budget here.
Can I walk to dinner?
No. The roads around the hotel are highways with no sidewalks. Do not attempt to walk.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, the standard Hampton hot breakfast (waffles, eggs, oatmeal) is free and reliable.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Use the Waze app, not Google Maps—it updates faster with the daily construction lane shifts.
- ✨
The 'Lounge Bar' mentioned on some third-party sites does not exist; it's just the lobby seating area.
- ✨
Ask the front desk for the 'local shortcut' map; they often have printed slips with the latest detour info.
