Hyatt Place Austin Downtown

8/10 Good

"Needs a swimming pool"

The LINE Austin

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful and nice. I have stayed in this hotel several times and it is my favorite in Austin mostly due to excellent location. I really enjoyed waking up and being steps away from jogging on town lake trail. I had a widow facing the town lake and it has really great views. I used the pool several times with friends (it has a bar) and it was nice."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was great, I’m not going to lie in that part. The only thing we didn’t like was the parking garage, did not feel safe at all, especially for women traveling alone. Even though it was gated, I still wouldn’t feel comfortable walking there by myself, especially at night. Another issue was that the elevator wasn’t working, so we had to carry our luggage up and down the stairs, which was very inconvenient. The biggest surprise was the parking cost. It was $50 for just 4 hours, not for a day. We ended up spending more on parking than we did on the actual room. My advice is to read the reviews before booking. I didn’t, and I definitely learned my lesson."
