Top hotels in Downtown Austin
Omni Austin Hotel
Everything by was great but it didn’t seem like my room had ventilation and it felt quite damp with a mildew smell. The staff were amazing and I really appreciated the late checkout.

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown
Everything was really great! The staff was pleasant, and thanks to Hanes’s upgrades, we stayed in a suite instead of a standard room. As always, Hyatt had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The breakfasts were tasty too 😊
