5/5 Excellent

"It was nice and unique. Close to places to grab food and drinks"

A verified traveler stayed at Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

Posted 2 days ago

5/5 Excellent

"This is a very convenient and comfortable property. Breakfast buffet was basic but good, at least for me: protein yogurt, huevos con chorizo, fruit including strawberries, bread and breakfast pastries, coffee, milk, good raisin bran, bacon. The only negative was that the front desk was unmanned when we showed up around 7:15pm to check in and we had to wait 5 minutes for a clerk to show up."
