Top North Central Austin Hotel Reviews

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Cambria Austin Downtown. The hotel is beautiful, clean, modern, and very comfortable. The staff was excellent, warm, friendly, and genuinely accommodating, which made the experience feel even more special. It has a classy, welcoming atmosphere, and I would highly recommend it."

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

8/10 Good

"The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The AC appeared to be out in the lobby and they had a make-shift unit (so that was okay). The worst part is that on the same street as the hotel are a couple of bars that had live music that played late at night and it was hard to sleep with the noise level. Other than that, it was a good stay."

Holiday Inn Austin Midtown by IHG

6/10 Okay

"This property is just tired. Our first night, there was a strong smell of weed on our floor and we presumed a guest was smoking in the room. On our second night, the ceiling in the bathroom collapsed and made a mess. The front desk was very understanding and immediately put us in another room and offered free breakfast the next morning. We noticed the ceiling in the replacement room also had evidence of ceiling issues and repair. Based on their response, we got the feeling this may have happened before. Again the staff were very friendly, helpful and understanding so I don't want to take anything away from them. My review really pertains to how tired the hotel is."

Sonesta Select Austin North

4/10 Poor

"Tried to checkin at 3:30pm, that was a mistake as the lady at the front desk told me it was an upcharge to check in 30 minutes early, even though there was no one else there. The shower had mold and the air conditioner could even drop the room 5 degrees in the 2 days we were there, also very sketchy parking lot."
