I thought the reno was imaginative and the people who worked there very nice but the large encampment of unhomed people felt very comfortable strolling the property. My husband thought it felt shabby.

OK for one night. Pretty good location.
An old Sheraton hotel updated on a low budget. Nothing special but nothing terrible either.

Wonderful and Happy Staff
Beautiful room with a great view of Austin! Super comfy beds, too. I really like how you have to use a key card on the elevator, for added security.
All staff members we encountered were super helpful and friendly.

Great stay at downright
I took my boyfriend here for 2 nights so we could celebrate his birthday in austin. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and aesthetic of the downright hotel. the front desk service was very helpful and friendly the whole time as well. parking at the hotel (and anywhere downtown austin) was expensive, but most of what we did was walking distance from the hotel so it didnt damper the experience. We loved our stay and would be excited to visit again sometime

Girls trip
Hotel is excellent. The staff is super friendly. Our first room had something going on with the heat and AC. One quick phone call down to the front desk and they were able to switch our rooms right away. All the details and decor in the hotel Are so well-thought-out and creative. I really enjoyed my stay here and would love to come back again.
