Top North Central Austin Hotel Reviews

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great, I’m not going to lie in that part. The only thing we didn’t like was the parking garage, did not feel safe at all, especially for women traveling alone. Even though it was gated, I still wouldn’t feel comfortable walking there by myself, especially at night. Another issue was that the elevator wasn’t working, so we had to carry our luggage up and down the stairs, which was very inconvenient. The biggest surprise was the parking cost. It was $50 for just 4 hours, not for a day. We ended up spending more on parking than we did on the actual room. My advice is to read the reviews before booking. I didn’t, and I definitely learned my lesson."
