We lived in Austin for many years and now when we go back to visit family, we love to stay in different parts of the city. The Hyatt Centric is in Downtown Austin just steps from the Paramount Theater. It is a beautiful hotel that includes a lounge with an outdoor terrace that allows you to enjoy the Downtown views. The room is small but comfortable with a nice size bathroom. There is a mini fridge for convenience. I will say there is not an actual desk to work from, however, there was a small table we were able to use for work. The location is perfect if you are in town for a concert at Moody or a UT basketball or football game.
Jun 2026We were fortunate to find a 2-Bedroom Villa to stay at the Marriot's Timber Lodge with my parents. My parents had their own room with a couch, a small dining table, mini fridge, wet bar and bathroom. The Villa had a nice size living room, a dining table, full kitchen with fridge and dishwasher, as well as a washer and dryer. Our primary bedroom had a nice size bathroom complete with shower and bathtub. The location is perfect in South Lake Tahoe as you are in the middle of Heavenly Village. It is walking distance to the Stateline casinos. We enjoyed a nice dinner at the Fire + Ice Grill and loved we literally had to just go to the first floor to get to the restaurant. With the Lodge we had access to the pool with multiple grills. We even enjoyed a nice cookout for Mother's Day with my mother. The 2-Bedroom Villa was the perfect setup to stay with family!
Jun 2026I recommend Luxor if you’re looking for a budget-friendly hotel on the Las Vegas Strip with a unique theme and a fun atmosphere. The pyramid design makes it one of the most recognizable hotels in Vegas, and it’s connected to Mandalay Bay and Excalibur, which gives you easy access to more restaurants, casinos, and entertainment. It’s not the most modern or luxurious option, but it can be a good choice if you want an affordable stay with a classic Vegas feel.
