Southwest Austin, Austin hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great restaurant with great service "

"This is the only hotel I will recommend! It is the only one we stay whenever we visit Austin. It is absolute perfection!! Great location for everything, great breakfast and awesome staff!!"

"Overall comfortable. Had very good experience"

"The staff went above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service. I would definitely stay there again."

"To get safe parking you have to park before the sun goes down. There’s plenty but towards the back it’s dark and the motel next door has people all hours of the night drinking and smoking “m”. During the night you saw so much homeless people and crack heads walking. At one point, we heard arguing and a commotion and people run. The next day I chose to check out. Rooms felt dirty and smelled dirty. I ended up getting a rash from that one night."

"Great stay"

"The restaurant closes too early, especially on big UT event nights, like graduation and parents weekend. I think 11 p.m. is more reasonable - 10 p.m. is not late enough. I did not care for your coffee. But everything else is great and I would return and highly recommend. Amazing staff!"

"Immediately upon walking in, the elevator was shaky and the doors would only open and close halfway. Once we got to our first room, the toilet was completely clogged. We called maintenance and even reminded the front desk on our way out, but when we came back it still hadn’t been fixed, only to find out they didn’t even have maintenance available. They then switched us to another room, which was somehow even worse because it looked like they had given us someone else’s room. There were clothes and belongings everywhere. By the third room, we were exhausted and just accepted it, even though the main light didn’t work and only one bedside lamp turned on. On top of all that, the entire building smelled strongly of water damage and mold. If you’re only staying one night and barely plan to be in the room, it might be manageable, but if you want a comfortable stay and don’t feel like going on a room scavenger hunt, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere."

"We stayed at the Aloft during UT graduation weekend. It was super busy, but expectedly so. The staff did a great job responding to guests. The location is perfect. Thank you!"
