Hyatt House Austin/Downtown
"Room was very well clean , staff were friendly. The only thing is the parking was on the street or pay for valet which I have no problem with but it is $45 a night. It would be nice to just pay for parking in a garage but the stay was very nice."

Hyatt Centric Congress Ave Austin
"It was good. Staff were extremely helpful. Pillows were a bit too soft for my liking. Blankets are limited to a comforter or throw blanket, which I had to blast the AC to not be sweating every night."

"Currently road construction currently, so hidden gem. Room clean, staff great, breakfast great. Curtains only went in one direction. So when cracked curtains for morning light, the bright light from apartments lite up room on bed side."
