Top Museum District Hotel Reviews

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Our stay was pleasant, except our room was on the west side of the property adjacent to the freeway. Very noisy at night, hard to sleep. The staff was great, helpful as they could be, but the hotel was at full capacity and we couldn’t get a different room. Others in our party had a great experience there. My advice, request a north, south or east side room."

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The property is very nice and well maintained. The room was modern with a big bathroom and huge shower. The bathroom also had a Bluetooth mirror to connect your phone to. It was a really great experience. The valet was professional and quick with our vehicle, both coming and going."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG
