The upper-middle-range Crowne Plaza Austin is a good alternative to the city’s downtown hotels. It’s right off Interstate 35, about 10 minutes north of downtown. There's not much within walking distance, but a free shuttle will take guests to area restaurants. Other highlights include free parking, 17,000 square feet of meeting space, 24/7 business and fitness centers, outdoor pool and whirlpool, and concierge services. A full-service restaurant and lounge serves meals as well, though breakfast isn't included in rates. Its 293 rooms are spacious and include mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi. However, this is an older building, and the public spaces look dated. Rates are attractive, especially when compared with downtown hotels, but it may be worth comparison shopping with the nearby Holiday Inn Austin Midtown, which has similar amenities and rates.
