4/10 Fair

Nope.

Bless this hotel's heart. Pros: check in was easy and staff was super friendly. Fun vibe in the lobby with plenty of grab and go options. Cons: it's an old, musty hotel and no amount of paint is going to fix damp carpets, a dank AC system, and rusty vents. Irritatingly, the website lists in-room dining as an amenity (so does the phone in the room) but they don't offer any such thing. For the price there are way better options downtown.

Will stay again

The hotel was great, the upkeep is being done well for its age. The area was awesome, in walking distance to everything. I didn’t like the service I received from the on site breakfast restaurant. The cashier was not polite and she wasn’t paying attention to my order, which was incorrect causing me to wait for an additional 15mins, and she was rude as well. Housekeeping knocked on my door at 8am and again at 10am, when check out time is 12noon. Me & my wife actually wanted to sleep in before having to travel back home. Also, didn’t like the fact that they had a steamer, and no options for an iron etc. Sorry, but everyone doesn’t use steamers these days. But overall I will stay at this location again.

Excellent hotel but pricey parking

We took a quick trip and stayed only one night. Check-in was a breeze and they had a little bucket of complimentary beer at the front desk. Room was as advertised. Roomy, clean, chic. The only complaint is the price of parking whether self park or valet, but it seems all downtown hotels wherever you go exploit the parking. Valet was about $10 more than self park and after taxes and fees was about $70. Just something to keep in mind. Other than that the stay was perfect.

The staff were accommodating in the grounds were clean and well kept. There was not a microwave in the room, but once we requested it, they brought us one right away. Centrally located and reasonably priced. The pool was a very cute set up, but needs a little attention before pool season. Would stay here again!

Retirement Trip and Stay at Downright Austin...

My wife and I stayed at the Downright Austin, Renaissance Hotel on Sunday, March 30th and checked out on Monday, March 31, 2025. The purpose of the stay was to sign paperwork for my retirement at TRS - Teacher Retirement System located across the street after 41 years of service. It was a bitter/sweet moment for us.

Austin aesthetic

Absolutely amazing stay for my family and I. From the moment we arrived til we left after having breakfast. The aesthetics of the hotel were so beautiful, it put our whole family in the right mood. Staff was amazing and very helpful when we had questions. I would recommend this hotel to everyone with or without kids. Always be ready to snap a picture because you will have the best backdrop at every corner.

6/10 Good

Almost great

Great location, clean, great service, very comfortable bedding. A/C was not functioning properly, ran continuously but was still warm and humid in the room. All the outlets & lights near bed did not work. Access to streaming TV not working. No hairdrier or makeup mirror (usual amenities at that price level).

Hotel is nice but could use a deep clean & restrooms are a little outdated. For the price they should offer more amenities. Also $49 parking per day is wild. Other than that everything was okay.

Great hotel that was central to a lot of major area. Walking distance to both Franklin’s and the Capitol. Very friendly front desk staff. The pool area is a really cute touch. It feels almost like Miami with the decor and vibes of the pool. Recommend staying here!
