Top South River City Hotel Reviews

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Austin South – Airport.

8/10 Good

"Convenient location, lots of parking and clean room. Only complaint would be that the towels are not clean. They were gross."

Orangewood Inn & Suites Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The front desk personnel gave us recommendations for places to dine. The property is very clean and quiet. The location is very close to the shops and restaurants. The complimentary breakfast was nice. I would definitely return when in Austin,"

Omni Austin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Trash left on tables by the lobby, security guard on his phone doom scrolling and didn’t look attentive at all. This makes the entire experience look and feel sloppy. We ordered room service and their breakfast was wonderful, but without any warming plates and no microwave, you better make sure you eat as soon as it arrives. We valeted and the attendance were great, attentive and remembered to offer us water on the way out. That was very appreciated. Overall, the feel felt less high-end and more Holiday Inn."

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I just want to give a shoutout to the friendly staff. I was greeted with warmth and kindness from the staff along with a refreshing cup of lemonade. Most importantly, I wanted to give an extra shoutout to the front desk and housekeeping employee (Gri***** & Jim***) I have to redact their full names as per hotels.com policy. We left some jewelry (engagement ring/wedding band/gold earrings) behind during our stay. I called and the front desk immediately provided her support and reassurance. She contacted the cleaning department and she was the one that found the jewelry hidden under some face towels. She placed all of our belongings in lost and found. To be able to have such trustworthy staff makes me confident in my future stays. Going over the top is priceless nowadays. May those two get the recognition they deserve."
