Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG
Very polite and prodessional front desk. Checking in and out was super easy. Wasnt able to try their breakfast, but i read that they serve hot food which is a plus. The hotel was a couple blocks away from drink and food options which was great, but there were noticeable homeless people very close ...

Placemakr Downtown Austin
The room was clean even though there were a few random cockroaches running around. I think from all the rain. We couldn't get the wifi to work . Otherwise it was a cheap way to stay just outside of the heart of Austin. The Moonshine Grill around the corner was amazing.
