We sat outside in the heated patio. My suggestion is for the north side where the smokers congregate. There needs to either have a plexiglass piece inserted on the gate or that area moved away. The smoke was terrible coming into the patio area. we finished our drinks rather fast to escape it. One Doubletree takes over, maybe they will have a better idea. It is always nice to come home to Austin. Also our server, Dusty. Was fantastic!!!!!!!! Kind regards
