This
halloween I decided to fly to Austin
Texas to hang out with some friends
of mine. As a tribute to this mask
clad holiday, we decided to stay and
extended stay hotels in austin at
the Driskill Hotel, right off of 6th
street. We had been told that it is
one of the most haunted hotels in
the United States,with at least 4
resident ghossts.
When we arrived the staff was
amazingly nice and helpful. We
requested our ghostly room and were
given a room in the historical part
of the hotel.
The rooms were neat and clean and
the bathrooms beautifully laid out
with gleaming black tile. The
bathtub/shower was quirky, as the
door didn't slide but instead opened
outward. Western style pictures
adorned the walls and made you feel
as if you had stepped back in time.
We quickly changed and went out to
6th street where a parade of
Halloween schoolgirls, vampires and
dark angels roamed the streets.
On our way out we partook of the
free Halloween snacks that the hotel
was offering. The clubs and
restaurants were filled with revelry,
fine food and cold refreshing
libations. The music was awesome,as
well, with every flavor of music
that you can imagine.
We returned to our room much later
to find chocolate mints on our
pillows, and the covers turned down.
There were no ghosts that night but
the delightful memory of this
hotel's hospitality will haunt our
memories for years to come.
