Orangewood Inn & Suites Midtown

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for five nights for a MotoGP weekend. Hotel is clean, staff was very good, breakfast is okay. Location is okay, but there isn’t much that you can walk to, especially during construction on the frontage road (Mar 2026). I’d stay here again if I were visiting the area."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG

4/10 Poor

"Was a hassle walking through the maze to check-I which involved multiple elevator banks and winding hallways. Decor was dated; staff was friendly but would not stay here again. The additional deposit of $100 that was not mentioned on Expedia which was taken out of my account and not refunded for 5 business days was a joke. "

ROOST Rainey

8/10 Good

"Rainey street is very loud at night. Club music and live bands Th-Sat until 2am. We faced Rainey street on 15th floor. Dohm sound machine didn’t help very much. Room was excellent otherwise. Women’s sauna could’ve been better designed-not much seating and ceramic tile floors were hot hot hot. Otherwise gorgeous pool area etc Ease up on the scented air-it’s a bit much. Oh - and pillows were way too stuffed and big for sleeping. Just being totally honest. "

Holiday Inn Austin Midtown by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean. The bathroom was very small. The air vent in the bathroom did not turn off so we heard it the entire time of our stay. Quite obnoxious unfortunately. The staff member that checked us in didn’t seem very talkative or a people person at all. The person who checked us out was much more kind. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable sadly. Over all it was worth the money for the stay, but not my favorite place I’ve stayed in the area. "
