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.

At&T Hotel & Conference Center

Staying at the AT&T Hotel & Conference Center located right on the University of Texas at Austin campus was a wonderful experience. The quiet, peaceful atmosphere made it feel like a true retreat, yet everything I needed was just a short walk away—dining spots, shopping areas, and popular attractions were all easily accessible. The location is unbeatable, nestled in the heart of campus with plenty of greenery and a calm vibe. Parking costs $21, which is a bit steep, but given how convenient the spot is and how close it is to everything, it's totally justified. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations—highly recommend for anyone visiting Austin, especially students, travelers, or business guests looking for a serene yet central base.

Hotel Ella

The valets were incredibly courteous and thoughtful with our vehicle—truly appreciated. Carolyn at the front desk helped me navigate the platform’s check-in system, making my room switch seamless and stress-free. The pool area is absolutely fantastic—relaxing, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding. We’ve been coming back to Hotel Ella ever since we could travel again after the pandemic, and it still feels like home. There’s a real sense of warmth and hospitality here that’s hard to find elsewhere. Thank you for such a welcoming stay—we’ll definitely be back.

The Otis Hotel Austin, Autograph Collection

I stayed at The Otis Hotel Austin, Autograph Collection during a conference in downtown Austin, and the experience was outstanding. The exterior looks unassuming, but stepping into the lobby reveals a popular local bar that’s packed every evening—great vibe and lively atmosphere. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic: two complimentary main dishes, a dessert, and free beverages (available only with breakfast-inclusive room rates). Portions were generous—so much so I couldn’t finish everything. The views at night are spectacular—direct sightlines to the downtown skyline, plus a rooftop pool and lounge with expansive, open-air vistas. It’s perfect for unwinding after a long day. Cleanliness and overall ambiance were top-notch. The only minor downside? No toothbrush or toothpaste provided—had to pick them up at front desk—and the toothbrush felt a bit rough in quality. Still, these small details don’t take away from an excellent stay. Highly recommend for business travelers or anyone looking for a stylish, well-located spot in Austin.

For the quality and convenience, it’s definitely worth returning to.

Whether you’re exploring campus life or enjoying downtown Austin, everything feels within reach. The location alone makes this stay unforgettable, and the overall experience is well worth every penny.

Moxy Austin - University

Staying at Moxy Austin - University was a fantastic experience! The location is perfect if you're visiting Austin—walking distance to campus, local cafes, and downtown. The room is cozy and thoughtfully designed with modern touches, and it's spotless. I loved the free coffee station and mini-fridge in the room—small perks that made a big difference. The staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in and check-out smooth. It’s an excellent choice for travelers who want style, comfort, and value without the luxury price tag. Would definitely stay here again.

Hilton Garden Inn Austin University Capitol District

Staying at this Hilton Garden Inn was an excellent experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the University of Texas and right next to the Texas State Capitol, making it perfect for exploring downtown Austin on foot. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable, with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, professional, and always willing to help. It's clear they take pride in their service. Cleanliness, convenience, and hospitality all hit top marks. This hotel offers fantastic value and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.

Baymont by Wyndham Austin University Area

I stayed here for an extended period and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff went above and beyond—always friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. They made me feel right at home, which is rare for a long-term stay. The only minor downside was limited parking on the side of the building where my room was located, but it wasn’t a big issue given how close the hotel is to the university area. Overall, the value for money is excellent, especially with such outstanding customer service. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a warm atmosphere.

Motel 9 University-Downtown

Motel 9 University-Downtown offers a fantastic location in the heart of Austin, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. Just a short walk from downtown attractions and public transit options, I found it easy to get around without needing a car. The hotel is clean, well-maintained, and the room was cozy with everything I needed—comfortable bed, good lighting, and reliable Wi-Fi. Staff were friendly and efficient during check-in. It's a great choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly yet comfortable stay close to the action. Perfect for students or travelers who value location and value over luxury.

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!
