Aiden Austin City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fifth stay and always great. It has become my go to hotel to be near my daughter while she attends UT."

Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG

8/10 Good

"Room is definitely a little dated , but the room was clean. Everyone we encountered was very nice. The location is awesome plus the free parking can’t be beat. The view of the lake from our room was lovely and hotel is a short walk to Rainey street. The ac was a little weak but fine. I would stay here again if in the area because of the location."
