Great hotel with plenty of amenities to keep you from needing to wander farther afield. But if you want to check out local dining and bars that is easy as well.

My colleague made the reservation so I was not prepared for this property. It was quirky and fun, bright colors and interesting decor. I would stay again just for the Swim Club, a repurposed pool made into a restaurant with delicious culinary options. However, what really sets this place apart is the staff. They are attentive, friendly and all seem genuinely happy to be there. Their attitude was contagious and I didn't see a grumpy person in the lobby or in the halls. Try this hotel and enjoy your stay!

Came here a girls trip and it was perfect! I enjoyed waking up and heading down to morning bird to grab my chai. And the restaurant attached definitely fits the aesthetic of the hotel.

We had a fantastic stay at the Downright Austin hotel. The staff was friendly and was very accommodating. The pool was incredible and we had so much fun lounging in the pool and enjoyed some tasty drinks! Hotel is conveniently located next to the highway, which is very convenient! We would highly recommend this hotel!
