Nice hotel which was walkable to almost everything and not a long drive from the airport. Could hear some roadway noise as it's next to the highway but to be expected. Staff attentive, room size was good, bed had the right amount of firmness. Also liked the shower and soaps. Nice security feature to us the elevator and the lobby was large with plenty of chances to sit.

Hotel is excellent. The staff is super friendly. Our first room had something going on with the heat and AC. One quick phone call down to the front desk and they were able to switch our rooms right away. All the details and decor in the hotel Are so well-thought-out and creative. I really enjoyed my stay here and would love to come back again.

We like the retro vibe of the hotel. It was clean, nice beds and pillows, and I loved the shower. Even has the cutout to turn on the shower without getting hit with cold water. The hotel does show it's age a little, but these things were not deal breakers: the heat/cooling in the room was finicky, there is not enough storage in the room, and our fridge didn't work (we didn't use it and told the hotel). I was sad there was not a hot tub, but the outdoor pool was ridiculously warm, like bathwater. It was nice!

Great stay at downright
I took my boyfriend here for 2 nights so we could celebrate his birthday in austin. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and aesthetic of the downright hotel. the front desk service was very helpful and friendly the whole time as well. parking at the hotel (and anywhere downtown austin) was expensive, but most of what we did was walking distance from the hotel so it didnt damper the experience. We loved our stay and would be excited to visit again sometime

The property was excellent throughout - starting with the front desk staff - Muhammet was great at checkin and gave us an upgrade on both of our rooms. Jennifer helped us in the morning for the breakfast credits. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel - food and service were both excellent. The rooms themselves were well appointed and clean. The hotel is very close to the Capitol building and self parking with in/out privileges was very convenient.

Nice hotel but the staff need training
Booked two rooms for a family trip to Austin. Requested connecting rooms and was told they were. Got upstairs and they were not. Had to go back down to the service desk and wait in a long line to fix the rooms. Then the day of check out i needed a key replacement and the person working the front desk was very unprofessional when I needed a key replacement.
