Moxy Austin - University

8/10 Good

"Rooms are a good size. Not too big; not too small. Did not realize it was a Marriott. Different feel and vibe was a good thing. Need to get this level of hotel in my regular mix."

Sonesta Select Austin North

8/10 Good

"No one was ever at the front desk! We had to wait 10 minutes every time we needed help. Only 1 of the elevators worked and it was very slow. The property is outdated. Breakfast is weird hours. I went down at 8:45am and it was already over. It was a cheap stay in a fine area. I would stay here again. Just know going in that it is outdated and you might need to wait a while every time you need help."
