Staff went above and beyond to make our trip great! We were there for the solar eclipse and they opened the roof up for us to view the eclipse as well as provided glasses and drinks! Awesome!

The views were nice at this property. I was on the I-35 side of the hotel on the 17th floor. I had a great view of the sky and the city. Also, the 18th floor restaurant had nice views. The hotel is downtown near 6th street, so it’s kinda dirty in the vicinity, but the location is good. You can walk to plenty downtown spots within minutes.

Thank you for your review. It is great to read that our location made it easy and convenient for your travels and to the numerous attractions in Austin. We’re thankful that you shared your appreciation for our facilities and the friendliness of our staff. The local and state Lodging Associations continue to work the mayor and city council to address the homeless issue within our city. I can understand your concerns as certainly this is not in line with the experience our city strives to and consistently provides to our visitors. We hope you will consider us for future visits, so that we can better deliver upon the guest experience you deserve.

Everyone is exceptionally nice at this hotel! I was greeted by front desk and valet team members each time I would arrive and leave the hotel each day. Great amenities, quiet places for working, and located in a great area! Definitely will be staying here next time I'm in Austin.

Won’t be back to this Hilton!!
I’ve stayed in many Hilton hotels before for both business and personal travel, but this one I will never stay at again. The first room I was given upon check-in smelled moldy, like a sweaty locker room. The staff did change my room after request, but was pretty irritated in the request to do so. The next room still had an odor, although better than the first, but I still had to check the sheets and pillows before I laid down. The beds make so much noise with every little movement, the temperature couldn’t be regulated (at least in my room), and the noise was so loud until after 2am from the street and a nearby club that it made it impossible to go to sleep. My coworker also stayed her the same night and had the cleaning crew take her dirty towels but never provide new ones. Overall very smelly, old, and dirty with not so great staff.
