Important Information About Hotel Pricing
As much as we hate to do it we need to provide a
disclaimer on these hotel prices. We have no control over how
hotels price their rooms and they can vary from day to day. The
information below is based on research done by a volunteer through the
AAA web site in December 2007. It is intended to help you
ball-park hotels you might enjoy. There are other Austin Hotels
not listed and the pricing information here my not reflect the actual
pricing that you find. To obtain up-to-date rates for April,
click on the Hotel name of your choosing. The only way to lock in
a hotel rate is to book it. Any arrangements that you make with a
hotel are strictly between you and that hotel. We have absolutely no influence. You may obtain better rates at AAA, expedia, priceline, or hotels.com.
