Venues such as the Nook are what make Austin, Austin. No one should be allowed to come into a landmark area and demand it change to this extent. The Westin would be wise to target the rooms to tourists who visit Austin for the music. If they have guests visiting for business, book them in a room on the opposite side. They should not be allowed to bully small businesses that happen to be apart of historic significance. Keep Austin Weird.

Live music capital of the world. Deal with it.

Perhaps the Westin should have paid more attention to the area they were moving into. You can't buy a house near the airport and expect the planes to stop flying, or next to a school or park and expect the children to tiptoe around.

Live and let live -- within established guidelines, that is.

This is old news and very ridiculous. The entertainment district has had numerous live music venus and bars with the sole intent of playing loud music for decades. So if you don't like loud music, then don't move or build a bushiness near them. They were there first, plain and simple. It's moronic and idiotic to move next/near a place that is open late hours and plays live music and then whine like a baby.

Companies like this who come in a build next to the quintessential essence of what makes this city great and then complain about it are exactly what is ruining the unique qualities of this city. They must be stopped!

Downtown Austin was built on music & this hotel is attacking the "very hand that feeds it".

Should have designed sound dampening into your hotel.

The music district was there first. The Westin knew what it was getting into when it decided to move there.

Bully the bullies! Boycott the Westin! I am very sickened by this scenario that appears to be recurring... We need responsible and conscientious development not this arrogant big business bullying!

Tired of hotels etc., building in areas where clubs/music venues have been for years, and then complain/demand changes.

The hotel is wrong on this lawsuit.
