Fodor's Expert Review Hilton Garden Inn Austin NW/Arboretum

Business and some short-term leisure travelers patronize this five-story hotel in suburban, shopaholic northwest Austin. Set just off I–35’s access road, the hotel is surprisingly quiet, with ample parking. Rooms are clean and contemporary and have mini-refrigerators, microwaves, and coffeemakers. Hearty breakfasts, with made-to-order omelets, are served in the lobby lounge and on the outdoor patio. A full bar is popular most nights, and dinner service draws mixed reviews. The Domain shopping center (featuring fabulous dining options) is a short drive away.
