Hotel Magdalena

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully designed hotel in the most wonderful area. We enjoyed the central location and being able to walk everywhere. The rooms and common areas have a unique and very creative interior design aesthetic. The large balconies outside the rooms provided a wonderful place to sit with coffee in the morning surrounded by nature. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. The pool is magnificent! We look forward to staying here again."

Colton House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a great, little-known secret hotel. Don't judge by the lack of curb appeal. The rooms are great, large, open, full kitchen and even tea kettles. Real coffee cups and silverware and plates. I would absolutely stay here again."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Oltorf

8/10 Good

"Ok"

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!"

Hotel San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"So much fun !! Amazing location . Beautiful hotel !I would stay here next time I visit Austin . LW"
