I'll be coaching Indoor soccer, with games on Saturdays. If I can get the league to schedule our game and my other son's game for late afternoon on the 20th, we may be able to make it. Keep me in as maybe for now...

I still haven't heard back from the cabins. For as little time as we would be there I'm thinking anything nearby would be ok. I've been to Austin a couple of times but I don't know the area that well.

I think the PHarms will probably stay at the La Quinta ... OLE!!!

I looked for the Heart of Texas Motel last weekend but didn't see it.

Here are my thoughts of these hotels. i lived in this area for 3 years and sis is still in the area.

La Quinta Inn - usually on the expensive side but a nice hotel. could never get a reservation for my folks there. always full. not the easiest to get in and out of
(512) 899-3000
4424 S Mo Pac Expy
Austin, TX
5.0 miles

Oak Hill Executive Suites II - i looked this up and i drive right by there to go to my sisters. i don't remember seeing a hotel in that area
(512) 637-1800
8305 W 71 Hwy
Austin, TX
5.0 miles

Heart Of Texas Motel - if this is the one across the freeway from the extended stay - NO WAY! i think they rent rooms by the hour (if you know what i mean)
(512) 892-0644
5303 W Highway 290
Austin, TX
5.0 miles

Extended Stay America - folks stayed here once. the truck got vandalized and they had bad service/room was dirty
(512) 892-4272
5100 W Highway 290
Austin, TX
5.1 miles

Holiday Inn Express - GREAT hotel. only a couple of years old. lots of shopping, etc right there. this is where the fam and friends stay when they visit sis
(512) 891-9500
4892 W Highway 290
Sunset Valley, TX
5.6 miles

Sands Motel Of Austin - this would be a no
(512) 892-3510
4710 S Lamar Blvd
Austin, TX
5.7 miles

Star Of Texas Inn - this is a bed and breakfast near campus http://www.staroftexasinn.com/
(512) 477-9639
611 W 22nd St
Austin, TX
6.2 miles

these are just my thoughts... but either the la quinta or the holiday inn express is what i would recommend. [/quote]
