Luxury Condo on its Own Private Island on Lake Travis
Relaxing & quiet property. The community itself is a little outdated but still beautiful nonetheless. Clean and comfortable room with view right outside the window. Loved the pillows too!

Hyatt Centric Congress Ave Austin
Property was under construction and was only there one night solo for work so didn’t get to check out all amenities but super friendly, helpful staff. Clean and updated rooms, but kind of small if more than more person were to be staying in one room.

Great hotel near Congress Street, one of the main parts of Austin. The staff was amazing & so friendly, always looking to help. I would definitely recommend the Omni Downtown. We had a great stay!

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Capitol / Downtown
The property is not family friendly. Does not feel safe. Staff is great, but the property is just not maintained. Location is awesome. Price is reasonable, but the facility is not.
