Rooms are spacious. Very clean. Terrific water pressure. Shower was awesome. This room had a kitchenette complete with stove top, oven, microwave and great sized fridge. Great view from good sized window. The staff were helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. We had a few drinks and meals in the Stampton, very nice. Good, safe parking for a daily fee. Comfy bed. Handy to the Austin hospital. Close enough to city, and great shopping at North lands.
