Hyatt Place Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Really great place to stay downtown!"

Hotel Van Zandt

10/10 Excellent

"This was a sister‘s weekend getaway. We loved the look of the property from the moment we walked into the lobby. The staff was extremely helpful at check-in, Shout out to Shan. We also loved our room which had two queen beds, a separate sitting area, and double sinks in the bathroom, which with four women in the room was an absolute must have. we had dinner in the hotel restaurant, Geraldine‘s, we had the short ribs, the lobster tacos, the wedge salad, and for dessert the churros. Everything was absolutely fabulous. We also had brunch at Geraldine‘s on Sunday where they had live jazz performance. Again, our meals were fabulous, and the entertainment was superb. The location of the hotel, near Rainey Street, provided lots of options for other dining experiences and entertainment. I highly recommend this hotel."

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in Austin! The hotel was affordable compared to other hotels nearby, without sacrificing quality. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and the staff was friendly. The only thing I didn’t like is that the hotel felt like the outskirts of downtown and a 10 min drive from where everything was. However, Rainey street was in the back and had a lot of food carts to eat at, and a few bars. Overall I’d stay here again and would recommend to anyone on a budget who also doesn’t want to compromise on cleanliness and quality."

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I just want to give a shoutout to the friendly staff. I was greeted with warmth and kindness from the staff along with a refreshing cup of lemonade. Most importantly, I wanted to give an extra shoutout to the front desk and housekeeping employee (Gri***** & Jim***) I have to redact their full names as per hotels.com policy. We left some jewelry (engagement ring/wedding band/gold earrings) behind during our stay. I called and the front desk immediately provided her support and reassurance. She contacted the cleaning department and she was the one that found the jewelry hidden under some face towels. She placed all of our belongings in lost and found. To be able to have such trustworthy staff makes me confident in my future stays. Going over the top is priceless nowadays. May those two get the recognition they deserve."
