Scottish Inns Austin Downtown
Our stay at Scottish Inns Austin Downtown was disappointing, to say the least. We were shocked to find numerous baby roaches in the bathroom—definitely not what you expect from a hotel. The sink had major drainage issues; as soon as we turned on the water, it started flooding within seconds. The bathtub floor was cracked in several places, and the shower curtain rod was half broken, making it impossible to keep the curtain closed. Water constantly spilled onto the floor, creating a slippery mess. The sheets and blankets were in terrible condition—covered in small burn marks and tears, clearly showing years of neglect. There were also multiple poorly patched areas on the walls, indicating past damage that was never properly repaired. Overall, the room felt extremely run-down. It was only barely worth the low rate we paid. If we’d known about the condition beforehand, we definitely would’ve chosen a different place. For travelers looking for cleanliness and comfort, this property isn’t recommended.
Embassy Suites by Hilton Austin Central
The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and welcoming attitude—truly made the experience special. The hotel was spotless, well-maintained, and had a great flow throughout. I especially loved the happy hour—it was the perfect way to unwind after a long day. Clean rooms, excellent service, and an inviting atmosphere make this place stand out. If I could rate it higher than 10, I definitely would. A must-stay for anyone visiting Austin!
Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Resorts Collection
This is my second visit to this hotel, and I’m just as impressed as the first time. The staff are genuinely warm and always ready to help with anything—from recommendations to check-in assistance. The property has a wonderfully intimate feel, beautifully decorated with elegant touches throughout. It’s not located right in the heart of downtown Austin, which makes it perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat away from the noise and crowds. That said, there’s often live music on certain evenings—depending on the schedule—which adds a lovely local vibe. Everything about this place feels refined and thoughtfully curated. If you value quiet luxury and authentic charm, this is definitely the spot. A truly memorable stay.
Days Inn by Wyndham Austin/University/Downtown
The stay was excellent overall, with a great location just minutes from the university and downtown Austin. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the refrigerator wasn’t working, which was a bit inconvenient. That said, it didn’t ruin the experience, and I’d still recommend this hotel for its value and convenient access to local attractions.
Best Western Plus Austin Central
This hotel is incredibly convenient and practical for my weekend visits to see my daughter, who studies at UT Austin. Just an 8-minute drive from campus via I-35 South—super easy and fast. The room is comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, making it the perfect base for short stays. Great location, friendly staff, and excellent value. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Fairfield Inn & Suites Austin-University Area
The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, the room was spotless and surprisingly spacious for the price. I especially appreciated the quiet location near the university area—perfect for a relaxing stay. The only minor note is that the double room didn’t include a seating area with a sofa, but that didn’t take away from the overall excellent experience. Clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—definitely a place I’d return to on my next trip to Austin.
