Top The Drag Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The front desk staff were so nice, friendly, and helpful—they truly made my experience even better. They went above and beyond with their excellent customer service. I would definitely stay here again!"

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."
