Staying at Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown was a refreshing experience, especially given its location right in the middle of the ongoing revitalization near Rainey Street—a historic area where old homes have been transformed into vibrant entertainment spots. The hotel stands out with its modern, innovative design and calming ambiance, offering a peaceful contrast to the lively street scene across the way. While parking runs $49 per day with valet-only access, we didn’t rent a car since our plans centered around walking and using local transit—perfect for visiting family, including my son and his kids. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready to answer questions or share insights about the neighborhood changes. We appreciated the water stations throughout the property—simple but thoughtful touches. That said, there’s room for improvement in room pricing, menu options, and the operating hours of the lobby bar and rooftop lounge, especially since staffing felt stretched during our stay. Getting to Rainey Street required a short walk through a back alley, which slightly disrupted the serene vibe the hotel aims to maintain. For hotels like this one, integrating more in-house entertainment experiences alongside smoother valet services could greatly enhance guest satisfaction and value. Overall, it's a lovely place—great pool atmosphere, clean gym, and a convenient first-floor lounge ideal for casual meetups. With some tweaks to pricing, service hours, and guest flow, this could easily become a full-circle staycation favorite. Ultimately, balancing new development with support for local, grassroots businesses is key to ensuring both visitors and longtime residents enjoy a seamless, authentic Austin experience.

The stay at Hampton Inn & Suites Austin Downtown was very comfortable overall. The room was clean, well-maintained, and the location made it easy to get around downtown Austin—just a short walk or quick ride away from major attractions. However, one issue stands out: we were asked to pay a $100 deposit upon check-in, with a promise that it would be refunded within four days. It's now been 25 days, and the refund still hasn't arrived. I've reached out to the platform multiple times for assistance, hoping this can be resolved soon. Would appreciate any support in getting this matter settled.

Even though there are bars nearby, our room stayed quiet and peaceful throughout the night. We were genuinely surprised by how much we enjoyed our stay. It’s rare to find a place that blends comfort, style, and location so seamlessly. Without hesitation, we’ll be back. Highly recommend this unique little escape.
