Omni Austin Hotel

Omni Austin Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at the Omni for a long weekend before a conference (at the Marriott). Wow! I loved being treated like royalty at the Omni. Let’s just say that was not the case at my next hotel. The Omni staff all the way around was caring, kind and had exceptional customer service. I’ll be back!"

Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG

Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG

8/10 Good
"Stayed 5 days. Location is the selling point, as we wanted the walkability and we got it. The hotel is old, but they make the effort to keep it clean. The staff was wonderful without exception. The free parking was convenient and easy to use. The bathroom had been updated to a walk in shower, which was fine - but the floor tiles in front of the toilet weren't attached. I expect the floor wasn't perfectly level when they did the remodel. Ceiling showed seams in drywall from expansion/moisture. Windows overlooking the lake were FILTHY - made it hard to justify the extra expense for the top floor with a lake view. Room fridge and keurig worked fine. Could use an extra outlet at the desk - the light and the fridge/microwave were using both outlets, so the lamp got unplugged. Lamp did have usb charger outlet, which was nice."
