Downright Austin, a Renaissance Hotel
We love to stay at Downright in Austin. We love everything about this hotel. The gentleman that checked us in was very professional, kind and informative. The bar staff, Harrison and Maren, were exceptional, helpful with food recommendations and made us feel comfortable and welcome.

Hyatt Centric Congress Ave Austin
Property was under construction and was only there one night solo for work so didn’t get to check out all amenities but super friendly, helpful staff. Clean and updated rooms, but kind of small if more than more person were to be staying in one room.
