The LINE Austin
5/5 Excellent
"The Line gave us a great Expedia VIP upgrade to a suite on the 12th (top) floor. Our flight schedule was tough, we checked in around 2:00 a.m. on our arrival day and departed at 3:00 a.m. on departure day. Front desk staff were available at both times and were very pleasant and accommodating. The unique touches and ammenities are both quirky and appreciated. We would definitely stay there again if our travels bring us to Austin!"
