"Cleaning was insufficient, with hairs and bugs. Apartment smells of strong mold from HVAC. The HVAC is situated directly across from the headboard so air blows in your face all night and the mold makes you congested by morning. The furnishings and pillows are uncomfortable. I was overrun my roaches, gnats, and fleas. By the time I got home, my clothes reaked of mold and fleas were crawling on me. My wife wouldn't let me in the house. The maintenance and attention to detail is substandard; loose...

Hyatt Place Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"it was a good stay"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly, the staff and management are doing a great job here. Things were clean and orderly, pool was clean and maintained and the staff did a wonderful job. For a cheaper option hotel while traveling, I would stay here again 100%. Again, staff and management are doing a very good job."

Orangewood Inn & Suites Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"Decent place given the price. I came during an unfortunate time where there was a lot of road construction, but it was convenient enough to be outside of the downtown area but close enough to not worry about high uber/taxi prices. Recommended if you’re just there to sleep and shower, I spent most of the time in the downtown area"
