Friendly staff, room was adequate, and a good view of downtown. but the wifi in the room only worked 1 of the 4 days we were there. And there were no glasses in the room, only paper cups that were tucked away in a cupboard. Within walking distance of Downtown and UT.

Beautiful clean and tastefully decorated hotel with fantastic views. Rooms were large and bedding was very comfortable. Location was good but required a walk or drive to local amenities. Hotel had a restaurant with meals that were tasty but very expensive. Limited options for me as a gluten free guest. The Wifi was not working throughout our stay either in room or lobby area. But, overall, this hotel was very comfortable.

called the police, otherwise awesome
It was a lovely place, but there was a very loud fight in the room next to me and I had to call the police at about 3:30 in the morning. I went downstairs and requested a new room and was offered a complimentary breakfast. The staff was very kind and friendly and ordinarily I wouldn’t complain about something that was outside of anyone’s control but I was up most of the night and didn’t get to enjoy my stay really at all.

Nice hotel which was walkable to almost everything and not a long drive from the airport. Could hear some roadway noise as it's next to the highway but to be expected. Staff attentive, room size was good, bed had the right amount of firmness. Also liked the shower and soaps. Nice security feature to us the elevator and the lobby was large with plenty of chances to sit.

Girls trip
Hotel is excellent. The staff is super friendly. Our first room had something going on with the heat and AC. One quick phone call down to the front desk and they were able to switch our rooms right away. All the details and decor in the hotel Are so well-thought-out and creative. I really enjoyed my stay here and would love to come back again.

We like the retro vibe of the hotel. It was clean, nice beds and pillows, and I loved the shower. Even has the cutout to turn on the shower without getting hit with cold water. The hotel does show it's age a little, but these things were not deal breakers: the heat/cooling in the room was finicky, there is not enough storage in the room, and our fridge didn't work (we didn't use it and told the hotel). I was sad there was not a hot tub, but the outdoor pool was ridiculously warm, like bathwater. It was nice!

Great stay at downright
I took my boyfriend here for 2 nights so we could celebrate his birthday in austin. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and aesthetic of the downright hotel. the front desk service was very helpful and friendly the whole time as well. parking at the hotel (and anywhere downtown austin) was expensive, but most of what we did was walking distance from the hotel so it didnt damper the experience. We loved our stay and would be excited to visit again sometime
