Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

The Code Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We chose The Code because we were attending an event at the 04 Center which was walking distance. Parking is under the building and could use better signage. It is also expensive! About $40 a night! Our check in experience was good. The 2 bedroom apartment was clean, spacious and comfortable. There were no extra linens. Extra blankets for the beds would have been nice. The cafe had a nice selection of salads, sandwiches and beverages. The lobby area looked very comfortable though we didn’t spend time there. Several good restaurants are walking distance. Bed was comfortable. We had trouble with our key card not working. The engineer had to change the battery on the door lock. Overall a good experience and value. Would recommend and stay again."

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My family loved our stay. Honestly I didn’t read much when booking but the hotel exceeded our over all expectations. The room was huge. Even had a kitchen with an island! Very spacious for my large family. The sofa bed was also larger than expected. Morning breakfast was great as well as valet. The main lobby floor seemed to have a small AC issue that was being taken care of because they had ac units through the lobby for comfort. Really close to everything downtown. Because I have a large family I think I’ve found a new love hotel!"

Renaissance Austin Downtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is my all time favorite place to stay when coming for an event at the University. It is about a 3/4 of a mile walk, which is very convenient. I love the decor of the rooms (very 70's chic) and the Swim Club bar is so COOL! The staff has never been less than stellar and also helpful in so many ways--from front desk to bar staff to management. The food is very good and quick to get to you once ordered. I just can't say enough about this hotel! I am hoping nothing changes since it is now a Renaissance branded hotel..."
