The Elvis Presley Urban Luxury Apts Austin

The stay was a major disappointment. The room was poorly cleaned—dirty towels, no soap, and sticky floors made the experience unpleasant. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. Despite the appealing photos online, the actual property looked nothing like the images, which made the overall impression even worse. The location is quite isolated—feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere, with limited access to public transport or nearby attractions. It’s not worth the price, especially considering the lack of basic cleanliness and comfort. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a decent urban stay. Definitely not something I’d consider returning to.

Homewood Suites by Hilton Austin - South/Airport

Staying at Homewood Suites by Hilton Austin - South/Airport was a great experience overall. The room was spacious and very comfortable—perfect for families or guests planning a longer stay. I especially appreciated the complimentary breakfast, which offered a good variety of options and tasted fresh every day. One thing to keep in mind: if you're sensitive to noise, avoid rooms facing the highway, as traffic can be audible. However, the hotel made up for it with thoughtful touches like two free bottled waters left in the room—small but meaningful. The location is convenient, staff are friendly, and the overall value is excellent. Definitely a top choice if you're visiting Austin, especially when flying in or out.
