Just need a little feedback on decent hotels in Austin which are not for the rich and famous.

Driskell is nice and in a great location. Not cheap though.

Do you have any particular plans? It might make a difference in where you might want to stay. If you’re just looking for a place to rest and go do other things I can think of some reasonable hotels; if you’re looking to be close to something in particular - downtown, Northern part of Austin etc., I might suggest a different location.

Hampton at Braker/Mopac is one I stay at frequently and recommend. There’s also a Garden Inn a little further north on 183 that I’ve been told is also nice. This assumes you’re wanting up north and not downtown.

As TB said in #3, what you want to do (and therefore location) can make a hugh difference in where you want to park the carcass.

Red Lion off the interstate, and next to Papadeaux.

You haven’t lived until you’ve eatten at Papadeaux. The Praline Cheesecake is to die for.

Stay west of I-35. North and west is better.

” a fairly nice hotel in the Austin area in which one could stay for the weekend and be in a pleasant environment.”

Well, do you want to go to Austin or not? If so, by definition, you are not going to be in a pleasant environment.
