Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The breakfast at the Fuller Cafe was excellent, along with our waiter, Kevin. The upstairs bar was pleasant. The Roaring Fork restaurant was superb.
Negative: The only thing which could have been improved on was to provide either tea bags or the Keurig black tea cups in the room.(There was a Keurig with coffee, green and camolie tea cups in the room.) Only coffee was offered in the lobby until 11 AM.
Summary: Excellent stay in Downtown Austin.
