Hyatt Centric Congress Ave Austin
Property was under construction and was only there one night solo for work so didn’t get to check out all amenities but super friendly, helpful staff. Clean and updated rooms, but kind of small if more than more person were to be staying in one room.

The Code Hotel

Omni Austin Hotel
The Omni was great. The room was clean and everything looked bright and new. The property itself has a pretty bar/dining area downstairs, but we preferred to sit up by the pool for drinks as it was more relaxed and had music. It was an easy stay and also quiet. We stayed at another hotel in Austin ...

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Capitol / Downtown
The property is not family friendly. Does not feel safe. Staff is great, but the property is just not maintained. Location is awesome. Price is reasonable, but the facility is not.
