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.

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).

Misleading listing

The listing says pull-out/roll-away beds are available, which is the only reason I picked this hotel, but when we checked in, we were told thats it was only available for rooms with a king bed. Also, we booked a city view room type but the view was blocked by a huge ugly dome.
