Top Central Austin Hotel Reviews

Aloft by Marriott Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Maria was the best & super helpful! She made me feel welcomed. I would definitely be coming back again!"

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was cool, it’s been my first time ever on a rooftop pool hotel. The vibes were cool and some of the staff were great and welcoming, some acted like they didn’t want to be there. Valet service was excellent, the hotel cleanliness is exceptional, if you’re okay with being on high floors, this is your hotel. The rooftop restaurant Limestone was a 1/10 experience. The ambience was great, the bar looked nice and clean, seating was incredible and the views were spectacular. However, the bartender that night was horrible, greeted us as we walked in and then ignored us for 15mins when there were only 6 people there, including me. After waiting so long, we stepped out on the rooftop balcony and that was cool but their big 75inch tv had no signal, WHILE NBA FINALS GAME 6 KNICKS & SPURS were playing. Didn’t want to stay there so I left and went to a restaurant. Only certain front desk employees took their sweet time refilling the towel bin with fresh towels, unfortunately my wife had to walk up the room with no towel fresh out of the pool. Overall 5/10, coolest part is the pool sadly and there aren’t even fresh towels ready. And the drinks are overpriced starting at $16, Go check this place out if you can 👍"
