Top Museum District Hotel Reviews

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great"

Hampton Inn by Hilton Austin East Side 5th Street

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and affordable stay for weekend trips to Austin area, within reach of downtown, public transit, and east-area entertainment hubs. Only blemish is that parking sits around $35/night, and you can find much better deals in city garages ($35 for a whole weekend) if you’re willing to leave your car."
