Top Downtown Austin Hotel Reviews

Omni Austin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Overall a great experience! I will say some alarm in my room kept beeping every 45 minutes but i couldn’t hear it once I fell asleep. The staff were all incredibly nice and it’s a pretty nice place to stay at!"

Austin Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"LOVED this stay and the hotel! Staff was very attentive and kind! Very clean and up to date! Restaurants and bars were 10/10. Had super good food and drinks! Wish parking was included in the stay / room instead of a separate fee, but valet staff was great. Made it easy to call for my car through text."

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..."
