It was amazing! The pillows were too soft for me, but that won’t stop me from visiting again. Plus I got to admire some of the MotoGP riders from a distance.

Retirement Trip and Stay at Downright Austin...

My wife and I stayed at the Downright Austin, Renaissance Hotel on Sunday, March 30th and checked out on Monday, March 31, 2025. The purpose of the stay was to sign paperwork for my retirement at TRS - Teacher Retirement System located across the street after 41 years of service. It was a bitter/sweet moment for us.

Austin aesthetic

Absolutely amazing stay for my family and I. From the moment we arrived til we left after having breakfast. The aesthetics of the hotel were so beautiful, it put our whole family in the right mood. Staff was amazing and very helpful when we had questions. I would recommend this hotel to everyone with or without kids. Always be ready to snap a picture because you will have the best backdrop at every corner.

Almost great

Great location, clean, great service, very comfortable bedding. A/C was not functioning properly, ran continuously but was still warm and humid in the room. All the outlets & lights near bed did not work. Access to streaming TV not working. No hairdrier or makeup mirror (usual amenities at that price level).

Hotel is nice but could use a deep clean & restrooms are a little outdated. For the price they should offer more amenities. Also $49 parking per day is wild. Other than that everything was okay.

Great hotel that was central to a lot of major area. Walking distance to both Franklin’s and the Capitol. Very friendly front desk staff. The pool area is a really cute touch. It feels almost like Miami with the decor and vibes of the pool. Recommend staying here!

Misleading listing

The listing says pull-out/roll-away beds are available, which is the only reason I picked this hotel, but when we checked in, we were told thats it was only available for rooms with a king bed. Also, we booked a city view room type but the view was blocked by a huge ugly dome.

This is a great place to stay! The staff is wonderful, rooms are incredibly clean and comfortable, hallways are quiet and clean, water pressure is great and hot. There's a great outdoor space to enjoy the river and just to sit and relax. The restaurant staff was amazing and the food was really great. The managers kept checking on customers to ensure they were pleased. I've throughly enjoyed my stay all around.

I stayed at this hotel when it was a Sheraton back in 2023 and decided to return for another work trip in March 2025. They've done a great job updating the hotel and it looks fantastic and has a chilled vibe. The Swim Club is a great space and I loved chilling at the pool after a day of work. My only criticism is the lack of a safe in the room. Visiting for work, I had a number of valuables with me with nowhere to store them safely. (Incidentally, and with my lawyer hat on, the declaration of limited liability hanging on the back of the bedroom door is of no effect if the rooms don't have safes). Wonderful hotel, though. The staff were mostly really helpful and kind. I shall definitely return for my next work trip.
