Hello fewatal, the closest hotels to your workplace would be the ones on Arboretum Blvd., which is about 4 miles away from your workplace. I think you best bet at this time would be a taxi to and from on the first day and then find a co worker who can give you a ride. People in Austin are generally friendly so you should have no problem hitching a ride with a coworker. Like I said earlier, the closest apartments are gables grandview apartments and walden oaks apartments. You should be able to google information of both these apartments. Here are some people looking for roommates in that area... http://austin.craigslist.org/search/roo?query=FM+2222&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max
