Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Arrived a bit early for reservation, but the front desk clerk happily and immediately gave us a key to our UPGRADED room! And it was fantastic, with a nice view of Austin. Can't say enough about the friendliness of the staff, the ease of checking in, the amenities, and the cleanliness of the hotel. Highly recommended."

8/10 Good

"Room format is very cozy. Feels like a place that might be in Tokyo. If that is not your Jam avoid."

Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was great. The only thing I will say is checking in they ask your reason for staying and that made me kind of uncomfortable. My partner and I were just doing a weekend over night trip to go to Alamo draft house and it just seemed invasive. They also asked about my marital status which I also thought was weird. A note on the elevators is that the one on the pool side tower. Left lift seemed to not be functioning correctly and had us waiting for a long time to get to the lobby as it seemed to not want to go down. I didn’t see any indication of elevator maintenance check which I usually do in most public elevators framed inside the lift."
