FAQs
Question
Where is the best place to stay?
Answer
Our venue is located in the heart of downtown. There are so many options right around the corner from us. The two closest hotels are the Club Wydham and the Doubletree. We personally have never stayed at either location. Please book wherever you feel most comfortable, there are plenty of Ubers, scooters, and pedicabs to get around! Note: We recommend booking rooms early, April is a busy month in Austin.
