Recomendations - hotels in Austin for Natale I stayed at the Midtown Holiday Inn in May, 2023 for my first ablation with Dr. Natale and it was fair, but think I'd like an alternative place when I go back in August. I don't need ultra fancy, but appreciate cleanliness and acessable restaurants, either at the hotel or nearby. Thnaks for any recomendations. Dr. Natale did a very good initial ablation, but this time around he plans to isolate my LAA and 2 or 3 months after, install a Watchman. I've gotten extraordinary care (and follow up with my nurse navigator) from Dr. Natale's team. A few months after the ablation I needed some regulatory med, so got on 50 mg of flecainide twice /day, which was excellent at keeping my heart steady/regular. But now it seems to give me fatigue/ sleepiness. I realize this can be a side effect, but curious about other's experiences with flecaininde.

Lot of eating options as well.

Unless morning rush hour, 10-20 minutes from St Davids.

Great area with much to offer. I would recommend looking at a Airbnb in the Domaine. This is a great option if you plan on staying for awhile. The Domaine is a shopping/dining/housing complex that would give you all the advantages of a hotel with the walkability and convenience you could desire.
If it is a short trip and money is no object, the Four Seasons is fabulous and just a short distance fromTCA. If you want a more reasonable and "hip" place, try Kasa 2nd Street.
Good luck.

5 times? I thought you only had one N ablation?

Once for an ablation, once for a Watchman, once for a TEE, and twice for other things (not procedures).]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 21 Jun 2024 14:07:18 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196398,196405#msg-196405 Re: Recomendations - hotels in Austin for Natale https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196398,196405#msg-196405 californiagal AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 21 Jun 2024 06:09:49 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196398,196404#msg-196404 Re: Recomendations - hotels in Austin for Natale https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196398,196404#msg-196404 susan.d AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 21 Jun 2024 05:53:36 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196398,196402#msg-196402 Re: Recomendations - hotels in Austin for Natale https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196398,196402#msg-196402
If you save money by staying in one of the typical hotels like Holiday Inn Express, etc, out on the highways, you'll pay half as much but your savings will be wiped out by the ride costs because there won't be anything walkable. Every meal will be an Uber ride or a delivery fee or a grossly overpriced hotel kitchen meal.

I've been to Austin 5 times, and I've stayed at the Hilton on Lavaca St 4 of those times. Excellent choice, and it's not that bad right now at $150 per night. The other time I stayed at the Days Inn just a block from St. David's. One word: Don't. It's cheap, and there's a reason it's cheap. The mattress needed to be replaced 10 years ago, and the carpet 20 years ago.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 21 Jun 2024 00:40:16 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196398,196398#msg-196398 Recomendations - hotels in Austin for Natale https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,196398,196398#msg-196398
