Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms floor was a little dirty when my kids walked barefoot their little feet turned brown. But other than that we had a great overall stay! We left for dinner and came back to our beds made and trash cleaned up. The valet was quick however we had one of the valet employees ask us if we were even staying at this hotel for us to be parking valet on our 3rd day of being here, which was weird lol because why would we bring you our vehicle for valet if we weren’t staying here? But overall the hotel was in a good area near a beautiful park and a lot of food trucks and nice restaurants!"
