Party central right in the heart of downtown Austin. Nice place but BEWARE, they charge $26 per night for PARKING! I got a great deal on Hotwire but in the end it wasn't that great of a deal. More

This hotel is in the vicinity of the convention center, but it's not one of the ones right across the street from it. You can walk in 5 minutes. The neighborhood within a few blocks of the hotel it totally dead, and it backs onto the Interstate. I did not feel unsafe - it's just dead. Three or four blocks... More

Stayed three nights in the Hilton Garden Inn last week and must say the hotel was perfect for what we were looking for. Super close to 6th Street for restaurants and nightlife and only 20 minutes from the airport. Linda at the front desk was amazing. Upon check-in she pointed us in the direction of a great place to eat... More

I went to Austin on business & choose this hotel. I knew that it was close to a number of restaurants. (I had no car & needed to walk to dinner.) This was a great hotel! Perfect location, great ambiance, rooms were clean & seemed newly renovated. The staff was a riot; when I checked in the desk clerk &... More

The hotel is what 'what you see is what you get' - a Hilton Garden Inn near the heart of downtown.
