"Perfect stay! Breakfast was great and super convenient location with plenty to do and see. Rooms were clean and modern. Would definitely stay again!"

Omni Austin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at the Omni for a long weekend before a conference (at the Marriott). Wow! I loved being treated like royalty at the Omni. Let’s just say that was not the case at my next hotel. The Omni staff all the way around was caring, kind and had exceptional customer service. I’ll be back!"

Fairmont Austin

8/10 Good

"Bed is very comfortable. You have to request for an empty fridge, which isn’t a bad thing."

AT&T Hotel & Conference Center at the University of Texas

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here to attend a concert, and not our first time. The check-in process was quick and the rooms are nice but typically small. The hotel bar does a good job of taking care of concertgoers before and after the show. The price fluctuates, we have paid $250 nt up to $500 nt another time. Hoping the next time it’s the cheaper rate."

There is a Starbucks 1 block away, Texas Chili Parlor is nrxt door. We did walk a couple blocks to a restueant that was really good. My only complaint is the lightong in the hotel is bad. Even in the bathroom lights are dim. Otherwise a great centrally located horel."
