citizenM Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The vibe of CitizenM is more adult friendly especially with the rooftop pool and bar. Definitely a great place to stay for an adult getaway."

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The only complaint I had was that they had parking available and so we paid for that— but after getting back from a late Austin FC game there were no longer spots available in the lot (likely because some people had parked very poorly and taken up more than one spot— so I don’t blame them for the situation— but it was pretty frustrating, unfortunately I don’t have a suggestion to help alleviate the situation, but I had to mention it.) I was thankful that they refunding the parking for me. So I appreciate that. The room was lovely- very clean, we took advantage of the weather/drier. It was great!"
