Aiden Austin City Hotel
Wanted to find a hotel with free parking that was close to downtown and all our other planned activities, and honestly this place was perfect. It’s so close to drive anywhere in Austin I would recommend it for the parking and location alone. Hotel rooms were clean and I have a VERY high standard ...

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown
I liked this hotel for its location, friendly staff, and pretty good breakfast. My room, however, had sheets stained in what I hope is wine and our microwave and coffee machine did not work. I talked to the staff and they helped replaced the sheets!
