Top Austin Hotel Reviews

Orangewood Inn & Suites Midtown

8/10 Good

"Nice. Clean rooms and cold ac."

DoubleTree by Hilton Austin - University Area

8/10 Good

"This is an older hotel but has had updates. Our room was nice, clean and bed was amazingly comfy. Nice add was the in room safe. The only complaints I have was the smell in the lobby and elevators. What ever it is they are using was very strong and hard to breathe. Our room didn’t have that smell. Also they charge you $39 to park which I thought was totally unnecessary when there is plenty of room to park on their property. This was not valet and not a parking garage."
