Austin Proper Hotel reviews
Likedexcellent hotel, one of best I've ever stayed at.
“The best”
LikedBeautifully designed, super comfi, wonderful staff, great facilities, perfect location - just perfect
LikedThe beds. The quiet rooms. The coffee and muffins in the morning!
DislikedNothing! We loved our stay!
“We would stay again at the Austin Proper due to its location, room amenities, and restaurants.”
LikedThe location was wonderful for our short 2-day business trip. We were able to walk around the downtown area, walk down by the river and across to the park. There were plenty of restaurants, night life, and shopping. We felt safe in the area around the hotel.
DislikedThe room size was a bit cramped. This was offset by a nice view and lovely amenities within the room (e.g., automatic blinds, wonderful shower with strong water pressure, nicely scented soaps, and Apple TV enable TV). There was plenty of storage, plus a comfortable bed and pillows.
“Convenient Austin downtown hotel has 2 wonderful restaurants & a large fitness center for guests.”
LikedThe hotel's restaurants were outstanding, offering exceptional dining experiences. The room featured modern, tasteful decor that created a comfortable and stylish atmosphere. The spacious fitness area was well-equipped with a wide variety of machines, and the spa was a delightful bonus that added to the overall relaxation.
DislikedWhile the hotel had many great features, cleanliness was noticeably lacking. The floors, particularly in the bathroom and along the edges of the room, felt sticky, and the bed sheets were uncomfortably rough. The fitness center was especially unclean, with a visible layer of dirt on the floor. Before using the exercise mats, I wiped them down with the provided disinfecting towelettes, which came away black—clearly indicating they hadn’t been properly cleaned. Although the front desk staff were friendly, they offered minimal guidance regarding the hotel’s facilities and directions, which made navigating the amenities a bit challenging.
“Nicest hotel in Austin that I have stayed in.”
LikedBeautiful and comfortable hotel. Everything is of good quality
DislikedThe food in the hotel was good, but not great.
