Hotel Van Zandt

10/10 Excellent

"Cool hotel in downtown Austin. Restaurant is fantastic."

Omni Austin Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Omni in Austin was a great choice. Location was excellent for us to get around in. The room was clean and a good size. The day staff is super helpful and friendly. Valet service was great, super courteous. The only thing that was off during our stay was check in. Our flight was delayed 2.5hrs so we got in later than we were scheduled. The night shift was not as friendly or inviting. It was 3:30am and we just wanted that Texas hospitality we have heard of. Night crew has things to learn from day crew. Overall though it was a great stay!"

The LINE Austin

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property in a great location."
