disarticulate Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Just booked via betterbidding HOTWIRE link.3.5* Austin (North) Doubletree Hotels Austin North for 2 nights.$59/night from 11/13/09-11/15/09. $140.27 after taxes and fees.Description showed: Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business, Hi-Speed InternetNot an amazing deal, but beats paying full price. And I'd rather pony up another 20 bucks a night to know that I'm not going to get stabbed at some cracked out motel.I'll comment on my stay after the weekend of debauchery....

disarticulate Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Posted November 17, 2009 ---Pros---***This hotel got the job done, with room to spare. The room was larger than an average hotel room, with a couch, coffee table, and a large desk. The king size bed was very comfortable and linens were especially welcoming after a long night of binge drinking. The bathroom vanity was classy and looked recently up-to-date (w/in 5 years or so). I had the "Junior Burger" or something like that off of the room service and it was pretty darn tasty. ---Cons---***WiFi was like $10 or so per day and wasn't very fast (~2Mb/sec.) This isn't terribly slow like dial-up, but can be some-what of a nuisance for power users. I had to stream some videos for work, and it took quite a while to buffer them because of the moderately slow internet. ***No Hi-Def TV, so watching football games was a bit retro. But for the price, HD shouldn't be expected. All in all, I would definitely stay here again at the price stated above.-disarticulate
