Scene
Clean and efficient mid-range chain near the University of Texas
Doubletree caters to guests needing to stay close to the university, and is conveniently located in that regard -- though getting to the university does involve crossing a busy highway via pedestrian overpass. You won't find it particularly stylish, or even quirky in Austin style, though the cool, locally inspired photographs in the rooms do add a little Texas flavor.
Location
On the east side of Interstate 35, opposite The University of Texas
The DoubleTree provides easy access to the UT campus via a pedestrian bridge over the highway, but there isn't much nearby on the hotel's side of the road. It's in a business and residential sector, with no tourist attractions and little dining beyond the Denny's fronting the hotel parking lot.The Doubletree is located north of downtown Austin, on the frontage road parallel to I-35. The city’s downtown core, and some of its more interesting, non-University-related attractions, aren't quite within walking distance -- you'll have to drive, or take a taxi.- 20-minute-drive to Austin Bergstrom International Airport
Rooms
Comfortable and modern, with big flat-screen TVs
Contemporary rooms are decorated in shades of white, salmon, and brown, and have cool, locally inspired black-and-white photographs on the walls. They're more upscale than you might expect for a Doubletree, with big flat-screen TVs and MP3 hookups.There is little variation between the room types, and since the hotel is located next to a highway, north of the city center, it's not worth upgrading to the "city view" room.- Cushy beds have Sweet Dreams bedding and ample pillows.
Features
A solid outdoor pool and 24-hour fitness center
All-Inclusive / Food
A 24-hour lobby sundry shop takes care of the late night munchies, while FUSE provides buffet-style meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
