Northwest Austin Hotels

One of two new hotels of this brand to open in Austin in 2009, Staybridge Suites Austin Northwest faces US 183 in the middle of the hilly suburbs near the edge of town, opposite the golf course at Balcones Country Club and within a few miles of such sites as the Arboretum, Lakeline Mall and Domain Mall. There are 80 suites available, in two bed, one bed or studio configurations, all with a fully equipped kitchen. Complimentary amenities include wired/wireless internet access, hot breakfast and weekday evening receptions; food and drinks are also available for purchase from the on site convenience store, or from a supermarket just down the road. For leisure, the hotel has a fitness center and outdoor pool.

Rooms at Hampton Inn Austin Cedar Park face north and south, looking out over a quiet and scenic neighborhood of trees and houses, a quarter of a mile from FM 620 near the US 183 intersection. Lakeline Mall and associated large stores are within one mile. Guests have a choice of single king bed rooms, dual queen bed rooms and studio suites, the latter equipped with sofa bed, microwave & refrigerator. The hotel provides free hot breakfast every morning, and it also has the usual facilities for leisure, business and meetings.

The recently opened, 65 room (all suite) Holiday Inn Express Hotel Austin NW adjoins a residential area along FM 620 - one block west of US 183 in the far northwest suburbs of Austin and 16 miles from the city center. The hotel is located right opposite the 150 store Lakeline Mall and close to various parks, golf courses and country clubs, as well as the many recreational facilities of Lake Travis, a few miles west. The main amenities are a fitness center, guest laundry, free internet access, above average free continental breakfast, and a nice outdoor pool/hot tub, on the sheltered south side of the property.

The Candlewood Suites is just about the northernmost hotel in Austin, part of a new development alongside US 183 at the Whitestone Boulevard exit - the hotel is within walking distance of several restaurants and large stores, and less than a mile from Cedar Park Center. The Cedar Park Regional Medical Center is also close by. The hotel caters to the extended stay market, offering 80 well equipped suites featuring a full kitchen, executive desk, DVD player, sofa bed and free internet access. Food can be purchased on site at the Candlewood Cupboard convenience store, for cooking either in the kitchens or on the hotel's bbq grills. Other amenities are a fitness center, business center and guest laundry.

New for 2014, the 84 room/suite Fairfield Inn overlooks US 183 towards the northwest edge of the city, in a generally residential, wooded neighborhood, just across from Balcones Country Club; the nearest restaurants and shops are one mile north, around the junction with Anderson Mill Road - well within the range of the hotel's complimentary five mile radius shuttle. The city center is 15 miles south. Other hotel highlights include the colorful, comfortable lobby, free hot breakfast and an outdoor pool. People here to work can take advantage of a business center and 728 square foot meeting room.

Of the several Comfort Suites hotels in Austin, the northernmost is located along US 183 - 16 miles from the city center in hilly, wooded suburbs at the edge of the Texas Hill Country. There are many shopping and leisure opportunities within a few miles including Lakewood Mall, Balcones Country Club and the Arboretum. Rates are relatively low yet the place enjoys a good reputation, for its helpful staff, clean rooms, quiet location, modern facilities and the quality of the free full breakfast. The hotel also has a business center, outdoor pool, hot tub and a meeting room.

The suites at Studio 6 Austin Northwest are divided into three exterior corridor blocks, arranged around a circular, tree-lined courtyard parking area, with more space at the rear.
