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.

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!
