Top The Drag Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Austin Downtown/Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast buffet was excellent"

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel. Was an apartment complex until the Hilton bought it. Rooms are like luxury 1 bedroom apartments (I think they have 2 bedroom units as well). Clean, fresh and up to date. In our unit was an under cabinet combination washer dryer that worked very well for a small load. My only complaint was there were some people smoking weed in one of the rooms and the hallway smelled like it."
