The baja shrimp tacos at Torchy's are very tasty. Hand-battered fried shrimp with cooked cabbage slaw, topped with pickled jalapeños and onions, queso fresco, cilantro, and a wedge of lime, served with your choice of chipotle sauce. It was a four mile round trip walk from the conference center at lunch time -- but so good, we did it twice!

9.2/10 Wonderful! (2,036 reviews)
"The hotel is nice and located in a good area for walking around Austin. It was a little too party focused in the pool area. Loud music and people getting drunk. Weird because there were families with kids. Overall my stay was fine. But I won't stay there again. Not a fan of the party crowd vibe."

"The room was great! I stayed there for 3 nights without a car because everywhere I wanted to go was in walking distance. I mistakenly left the balcony door open on my last night and woke up to a few moths flying around me. But that was my fault."
