Homewood Suites by Hilton Austin Downtown

6/10 Okay

"Were laud room because this hotel is right next to a main road"

Tommie Austin, part of Jdv by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Tommie Austin was exceptional! The hotel itself had a really cool vibe, was clean, and the staff were very hospitable. This boutique hotel was one block from 6th street and in walking distance (few miles) to SoCo and the Congress Ave. Bridge for bat watching, kayaking or the ferry. There were also a variety of dining options at the hotel and nearby. For my husband and I, Tommy Austin was the perfect hotel and in the perfect spot for the things we wanted to do. "

Austin Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very nice. There is a $25 credit when getting the room. So it’s prefect for a little snack or coffee in the am. The rooms are really nice, and the lady at the front desk was amazed at the price I got for my room through Hotels.com. They take you to the elevator and explain how to use it. There are plenty of things in the hotel to do drink or eat. There is also a few awesome restaurants close by."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Capitol / Downtown

2/10 Terrible

"I would not recommend anyone to this hotel, strong mildewed odor, 2 days stay parking fee was $75.00, half roll of toilet paper, there’s a signage in the elevator (towels get washed every 3 days), if you need to ask for more towels. No fridge or microwave. I was very disappointed with this hotel. Next time I’ll e reading the reviews. Take your own Clorox wipes, Lysol, towels and toilet paper. "
