Hotels Near Austin–Bergstrom International Airport in Austin

This hotel has one specific purpose for me - it's the most affordable hotel close to the AUS airport to get to an early morning flight. It has about an easy entrance to the airport as you will find at this price range. Otherwise, I can't imagine staying here. The hotel is just barely maintained at an acceptable level. The TV's are small with fuzzy signals. The area of town is not a place one would stroll about. The desk clerk that checked me in was a vast improvement over my prior stays. She was actually pretty nice and engaging.

Unfortunately my husband and I will not choose to stay at this hotel again. (We stayed recently overnight in late March, 2023, before catching a plane the next day.) Pros: the staff working the Night Shift upon our arrival was courteous and tried to be helpful, and the morning breakfast was acceptable. However this did not make up for the hotel’s shortcomings which were numerous—as I will outline here. Cons: (1) the microwave had no plate and was therefore unusable until shortly before we checked out, when at last someone located a replacement plate. (2) the carpet was dirty with visible stains (3) the window shade would not open properly (4) the very heavy dishwasher door fell open unexpectedly several times, once hitting me (hard!) on the leg. (this was especially concerning since the dishwasher is installed in the entrance to the room and one must walk past it to enter or exit the room) (5) the dishwasher leaked water onto the floor, posing a slipping hazard (the water was hard to see ) (6) there were unsightly yellow stains on the bedding of one bed (7) no toaster was provided (8) the water coming from the two faucets smelled and tasted like mold. After returning from our trip we outlined all of these problems in an email message to the manager on duty, but we have never received any sort of reply from him. (We tried to reach him several times by phone before we left the hotel, but he could not be reached)

Big clean room, comfy bed and the breakfast was also good. Nightshift-staff was really welcoming. But it would be good to mention in the hotel description that the airport-shuttle stops at 11pm. Anyway we can recommend and would book this hotel again. :)

In the words of Bette Davis, “What a Dump.” In its favor, we had a nice view of Lady Bird Lake from our window, which was pretty to wake up to, and the water pressure in the shower was great! The bathroom seemed partially updated and was pretty decent. Free parking, too. There were a few HBO channels on tv. However, the hotel is very dated and not very clean looking. The indoor parking garage was filthy and was dimly lit. Didn’t feel very safe in there, so we parked in the outside lot whenever possible. No greeting from the night time desk clerk when we came back from dinner, as she seemed to purposely be avoiding eye contact with us (she wasn’t on the phone or busy with someone else). The elevators were very smudgy and too dark, also. The beds slumped a bit in the middle, the linens were old and tired looking, and the chair in the corner looked worse than some I’ve put by the curb. An old leak on the ceiling was poorly patched up, and there were stains on the desk chair, carpet and walls. The door to the adjoining room didn’t provide enough sound proofing, as I heard our neighbor’s phone convo loud and clear. The pool area didn’t look very inviting, as there were no umbrellas or trees to block the strong sun. We wanted to stay in downtown Austin to be within walking distance to things, so this was the least expensive option. But not much could be walked to from there, and the area it was in was a bit sketchy, so we ended up taking Ubers, anyway. We had booked our last night at a hotel in the Arboretum area, because this one went up to a ridiculously high amount for Friday night (music festival in town), and it ended up being just as convenient to take an Uber from there (15-20 mins) to downtown. Plus, the hotel was much nicer and way less expensive. Live and learn.

Legitimately my favorite hotel I've ever stayed in. I stayed here because it was reasonably priced and in the middle of the city, but I wasn't expecting to find my favorite hotel in the United States. My room was relatively small, but had everything you need in a hotel room in exactly the right place down to the smallest detail. For example, some of the outlets were turned sideways to accommodate Mac chargers that often fall out of loose outlets (mine being a major culprit). They also had easy streaming options through Cast so I could watch shows from my phone on the large TV in the room. It's very clear that someone who has stayed in MANY hotel rooms over the years designed this room, because every annoyance I've ever had didn't exist here. There was even a golf simulator I didn't know about! I will stay here every single time I come back to Austin

I have stayed at some of the nicest hotels in the country and this was right near the top. My only critique is the homeless population overwhelmed the area. Maybe work with the city to clean that area up. Otherwise this hotel was the epitome of old world elegance in abundance.

It’s a little far from downtown but very convenient to the highway, so it’s not a dealbreaker. Super clean. Price was right.
