subject: What You Have To Know About Getting A Room In Austin [print this page] Austin has a wide variety of hotels for the traveler to stay in. You can find great accommodation for any budget. You can usually find a list of these hotels online.
Online searching is your smartest course. If you go online you can limit your search to specific hotel chains, or else to hotels by a certain area of the city, or even on the basis of quality or price. Conference or athletic event planning facilities are also available in some hotels.
Will you be traveling with a group? Often if a group reserves rates, you can get a good price because of bulk bookings. You can even reserve your rooms well in advance.
Reservations are easy. Call or check online for availability, and then if there is a room available you can book right there and then. You can also see if there is a package deal, such as a free breakfast with a certain number of nights reserved. Some hotels have such deals.
If you are flying in, check to see which hotels have free shuttle service to and from the airport. In some hotels this is free, and in others you have to pay. If you are driving rather than flying, check to see whether parking is free or if there is a charge.
It will be hard for you to book a room if you aren't at least 18. Most hotels won't let you. You will need to be staying with an adult, and the adult has to book the room. In fact, some hotels have a minimum age requirement of 21.
Go to the information section of the hotel's website, or check their information brochure. Hotels rely on guests being pleased by their stay. For this reason, information is usually kept fairly updated, and will include a list of amenities and specials available.
If you are going to book a hotel in Austin, figure that it will cost you a bit but not an extravagant amount. The average nightly rate runs between $50 and $90 USD.
