Visit the eponymous Round Rock in the middle of Bushy Creek along the banks of which the town developed. See the famous limestone slab that served as an important low-water crossing marker for pioneers and Native Americans.

Round Rock played a pivotal role in the Chisholm Trail, a famous cattle route in the late 19th century. Relive this history at Chisholm Trail Crossing Park, featuring life-size bronze sculptures of steers and pioneers on the cattle drive. Learn more about the area’s history from a series of commemorative plaques.

The room was clean even though there were a few random cockroaches running around. I think from all the rain. We couldn't get the wifi to work . Otherwise it was a cheap way to stay just outside of the heart of Austin. The Moonshine Grill around the corner was amazing.
