Giddings Vacations from $651

So let me start with a positive. It is a very clean hotel at least by 2026 standards unfortunately but it felt clean. Very no nonsense hotel elevator reeks of marijuana and the fire alarm went off at 4:44 AM on my first night there for some reason they just said we’ll fix it. TV has a mind of its own would turn off and on like another remote control was controlling it or something. I have no idea, but it was a stay as my new apartment I was supposed to move into had water damage so needed to stay somewhere else for a few days as I had already moved out of my other place, so it served its purpose should be about 20% less than what I paid though to be honest with you. Overall, a solid choice for a short day great location hard to access due to construction, but still, I know the area like the back of my hand.

Excellent location within walking distance of so many shops, restaurants and bars. Steps away from the Butler Trail and so many beautiful amenities including live music practically every night, a posh rooftop pool and excellent dining.

The hotel has a terrible smell upon entrance. Some may be ok with that, however this is a luxury hotel. It should have a luxury ambience. The other part is that the Tommie hotel also connects to it, so you should just book there for half the co. It’s literally the same lobby, bars, pool, etc. You can really just stay there for half the cost, the Thomas was not worth the money overall a 3 star experience

Visiting the Austin area was fun, but our stay at the Plantation house Inn was definitely the highlight. From the amazing host and her delicious breakfast to the gorgeous surroundings and perfect amenities, you will want to come back again and again, if only to visit Luey and Norris!! Not only did we have a very well appointed room and amazing breakfast each morning, but we learned all about the local cowboy culture, and my son even purchased his first authentic cowboy hat. Would give it 10 stars if I could. Best decision of our trip to stay here!!
