10/10 Excellent

The LINE Austin

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful and nice. I have stayed in this hotel several times and it is my favorite in Austin mostly due to excellent location. I really enjoyed waking up and being steps away from jogging on town lake trail. I had a widow facing the town lake and it has really great views. I used the pool several times with friends (it has a bar) and it was nice."
