Hotel Rooms

We have succcessfully lined up a block of rooms for people who can come to the wedding and who desire to stay in the same location. The hotel we've chosen is the Holiday Inn Express - Sunset Valley location - here in Austin.

The hotel is about midway between the airport and the wedding venue (Star Hill Ranch). Both the airport, the hotel and Star Hill Ranch are all on Highway 71 (though the hotel's address is technically highway 290 -- at that point, 71 & 290 are the same thing).

I'll post more exact directions with landmarks, etc. as soon as I get time (and definitely prior to the wedding!) Here's a map of the Hotel by itself. Here's a map of the route from the hotel to the wedding venue. Here's a map of the route from the airport to the hotel.

Rooms with 1 king-size bed are blocked at $70/night and those with 2 queen-size beds at $80/night. There may also be rooms with a king and a sleeper sofa; call the hotel to inquire.

Matt & I toured the facility and it seemed nice, and we felt our out-of-town guests would be comfortable there. It is a new facility, nicely decorated with quiet hallways and good-sized rooms. Rooms are equipped with coffee makers, ironing boards & irons, hair dryers, etc. Some had a microwave, mini-fridge and sink. It is easy access off the highway. They serve complimentary breakfast. When I do the maps, I'll also include info to a few nearby restaurants (including some of our personal favorites).

You can contact the hotel directly at 512-891-9500 and ask for the White-Laswell wedding block for Friday, October 7th. It will be held through mid-September. You can also check out the hotel's website: http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/1/en/hd/aussv?irs=null or browse through your favorite travel site.

While we think this hotel will be quite accommodating, Matt or I would be happy to help you know where else to look in this big city, if you desire a different choice.

Let either of us know if we can help with something.
