    Great Room for New Years

    The bed was huge and soft. Our room as simple, but provided everything we needed. The view could have been better, but that was not really the hotel's fault. The staff was very nice. Walkable to all of downtown Austin, or just take a pedi-cab if you're lazy.

    Great hotel

    For the price of this hotel they should include free wi-fi. The lobby access was free but not very good. If you plan on self parking it's more expensive than letting the valet park your car. Other than that the resurant Was awesome and the room was nice too.

    Can't beat the location - right off IH-35 and walking distance to 6th street. Also, the hotel is modern, clean and is attached to a great restaurant.

    Great Stay at downtown Austin Hilton

    The staff here was super nice - valet and concierge folks went above and beyond. The breakfast was pretty amazing for hotel food - the chef was friendly and helpful.
