Top South By Southwest Hotel Reviews

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"I think this properties at the very good location for an apartment like hotel since you can walk to Whole Foods and Target in a few minutes and and it’s easy to walk into downtown from the location. It’s very close and even a beautiful nature walk to the central downtown. And located next to the place is a restaurant called Moonshine Grill. Good food and drinks. The gym is super good in my opinion. I love that there are fans in many places in the gym so the temperature stays cool. Apartment was very good. I would have liked having a few few more plates and bowls though and the kettle was really poor quality and actually became defective from attempting to pull off the lid. They were quick with bringing more coffee if you needed it and they even supplied detergent for the washing machine. Great place and I would stay here again."
