Hyatt Centric Congress Ave Austin
Great for the price. It’s a small room, but laid out quite nicely. Just watch the towels. Ours had stains and the bathroom mirror was pretty dirty.

If you get a room facing 6th street area/ pub crawl area, be aware that you may not sleep until 2am due to loud music. If the hotel is sold out, you’re out of luck like in my case
