Orangewood Inn & Suites Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"I was traveling from Pennsylvania to Austin to see my boyfriend. I had a pleasant experience at this location. It was very clean and the suite was amazing with dishes. I did not expect that.I booked this hotel due to the Orange curtains and the name. I was just curious and after I made my decision of staying here I’m glad I did. My suite was great and the staff was great as well. I did not need the housekeeper to clean my room, but I did swap out my towels and they were friendly with smiles. I would recommend the suites at this location it’s beautiful thank you for a great experience and keeping my room cool upon arrival."
