We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. Hotel is great, organized as small apartments, has free breakfast and “Happy hour” including meals and drinks in the afternoon. The rooms are huge and clean. Hotel is not located near interesting area, so you need to have a car. Parking is free of charge. More

For a relatively low price ($85/night) I got a huge one-bedroom suite with a full size refrigerator, microwave, maybe stove I don't know (sorry!), little desk, big couch, king size bed. Very clean. The bed was fine... not great. The whole place seemed a little worn, a little old. I didn't care, mind you, because it was a solo trip,... More

Second yes Highland Mall is vacant but this place is set back a bit behind a business park. It was quite and the room was... More

Habitat Suites is located in the (former) Highland Mall just off I-35. It is a gem: all rooms are suites with one or more bedrooms, plus living room with full kitchen. An environmentally friendly policy is followed. Plants and trees abound; the rooms facing inward look out on the pool in the open center courtyard. Full hot breakfast every day... More

I stayed here late April 2012 with all my family for a family reunion and wedding in Austin--included adults from ages 35-72 and kids from 4-15. I have mixed feelings about the hotel. The outside is beautifully landscaped, has close in open parking to your suite, has the incredible breakfast and generous happy hour, has a very family friendly atmosphere,... More

This was my first time in Austin and I have to say that I picked the right place to stay. The staff was extremely nice, the rooms were very spacious, and the fact that this place is a green hotel made it and A++ place to stay. It's a close drive to the center of town as well as the... More

Hello, We make the Lone Star Round Up every year in Austin. This time we stayed at the Habitat Suites. The parking lot allowed room for our trucks and trailers. The room was nice. This hotel was an apartment complex at one time. The room is actually an apartment. The room has a seperate bedroom and Kitchen/Den area. Plenty of... More

We had the pleasure of staying at this unexpected jewel by a mall in Austin. Upon arrival, we where greeted by a dapper gentleman who expertly checked us in, offered us their Happy Hour, which was FREE, not discounted. You can't imagine my surprise at being allowed a more than generous 3 free beers or glasses of wine, chips, salsa,... More

This unique hotel is off the beaten path, but very nice. The property used to be an apartment complex, so our suite was basically a one room apartment with very nice kitchen area and living room. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We were planning on doing activities in the downtown area and the hotel has easy access to... More
