You can't pick a more central location....near 6th Street entertainment and restaurants, the Convention Center, etc. Nice quality accomodations, clean and well cared for. This property appears to be an older place that's recently undergone top to bottom renovations. The breakfast buffet is just average. Didn't try dinner in their restaurant because there are so many good choices nearby. I'll... More

To set the stage, I was down here for a weekend to go to a family members wedding down in San Marcos. However, I made a good weekend of it, picking my son up from his base in Fort Hood. Our goal for the weekend was to have a great time. We wanted close to 6th street, and I wasn't... More

We stayed here on New Year's Eve. The location was absolutely perfect for hitting Sixth Street! The room was good and the breakfast was excellent. We did not the outdoor pool - it was very small and exposed. Overall, I would recommend the hotel if you want to experience Austin's nightlife. More

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL! My wife and I were visiting for a nice weekend away... that didn't happen. This was probably the worst experiance I've had at a hotel.

Was a little concerned as we approached the hotel is right off the freeway, but actually very decent place. Newly renovated spacious rooms, prime downtown location, friendly staff and a good view of the Capitol. If you get a good rate here, it's worth it. More

This Hilton Garden Inn is in a prime location for walking to multiple eateries, bars, BBQ, and live music. Easy on-off access to the main North South freeway. Joquine, at the front desk, gave us a wonderful "partial" view of the capitol buidling which also allowed us sunset over the river. Room was large with fridge and microwave. Great made-to-order...

On 5th street in downtown Austin. Stayed at the hotel during a volleyball tournament -- pretty much the entire hotel was rented to volleyball families. Rooms are comfortable - clean - and modern, free internet, refrig, in room coffee maker, etc.... Only possible drawback -- valet parking only -- but that's pretty much the standard in downtown Austin. It was... More

Celebrated our anniversary this year by doing a staycation at the Hilton. We got a room on Hotwire for a good price.
