Top Austin Hotel Reviews

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

8/10 Good

"Nice newer property. Very accommodating staff all around. Great location if you like the partying on Rainey st. Of not, know that it can be very noisy. We arrived on Sunday evening and even 11 floors up the street noise was very noticeable in our room. Loud bass and bar sounds plus some from the highway. The next two nights were much quieter. He hotel did provide a white noise machine which helped."

Aloft by Marriott Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for a quick family weekend getaway around Austin. Friendly and helpful staff, newly renovated and clean rooms with location close to Capitol, restaurants (including their highly-rated onsite restaurant, Carolines). We got a higher floor and had a nice view of the surrounding buildings. Note that this hotel is right next to and in the same building as their sister property (element Hotel which seems like a slightly lower grade hotel). Same entry way for both hotels but check in desks are on different floors. Cons were that valet parking was $65 per night with in and out privileges. Public parking across the street is about $35 but no in and out privileges. Also the first night we stayed, out toilet clogged but handyman cam within 15 minutes. Also no swimming pool. We would definitely stay here again!"
