East Austin, Austin hotel rooms at the Highgate Independent

"We really liked East Austin as a home base for our trip. We are active and can walk 15k steps a day on vacation and it was super easy to get to all the key areas of downtown, south congress, and franklins on foot but you didn’t have noise or a lot of traffic. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. Entrance to your room will be through an exterior door. I’m only docking them because we had a cockroach in our room."

"Conveniently located to downtown"

"All around perfect "

"We love this hotel! The staff is great, great location and a clean room!"

"I requested in advance, for a quiet room as I am a light sleeper. They allocated me to a room facing the road on the second floor which I could hear quite clearly. When I asked if they could move me they said they would the following day. When I spoke to them the next morning they offered me a room right next to the elevator. They also knew about the noisy house on the the street facing my room which started blaring music out at around 1am until around 4am! Breakfast was very basic with no real healthy options available. "

"Surprisingly spacious, clean and super conveniently located"

"Staff was super helpful and friendly. The hotel is older and the outside is rough. The hotel is next to a noisy road. I think staying here is ok if you have low expectations and want to save $. The bed was fine. It was close to lots of local Austin places. It was easy to uber around if you don’t want to drive in traffic."

"Parking was super easy, the rooms had everything we needed, and it was a nice quiet neighborhood. "

"Parking is a problem."
