Best Western Plus – Austin City

Austin

LoginSave

Our favorite detail? The Texas-shaped waffles at the breakfast spread. Bordering I-35, south of Lady Bird Lake, this recently renovated Best Western is close to downtown and South Congress Ave. It's also welcoming and stylish, and the spacious rooms are loaded with amenities, including mini-refrigerators, microwaves and Keurig coffee makers. This top-notch lodging is one of the best deals going in Austin.

If you're easily distracted, try for a 3rd-floor room; the floors can get a bit squeaky. It's $20 per pet, and parking is free.
