About the Hotel
6.5Average Rating
Standing at the crossroads of everything that makes Austin worth visiting, Downright Austin puts you within easy reach of the city's best neighborhoods. The Red River Music District is just steps away, and if you feel like wandering toward the University of Texas campus, that's also a short walk. For those coming into town for events, the Austin Convention Center is roughly fifteen minutes on foot, as is 6th Street for an evening of shopping or bar-hopping. The hotel manages to feel genuinely connected to the city rather than just occupying space in it.
The guest rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with modern furnishings that don't try too hard to be stylish at the expense of comfort. Cable TV, a proper work desk, and an in-room coffee maker make the space equally suited to business travelers and those who simply want a comfortable base between Austin adventures. The fitness center and outdoor swimming pool round out the practical amenities, and on-site parking is available for anyone who drove in or plans to rent a car to explore beyond the city center.
Morningbird, the hotel's walkup counter, deserves special mention — and not just as an afterthought. It serves the kind of morning coffee and breakfast tacos that draw in locals alongside hotel guests, which is always a reliable sign that a hotel restaurant is doing something right. The on-site bar is equally worth your time in the evenings. When a hotel attracts the neighborhood crowd rather than just its own guests, it tends to mean the food and drinks are genuinely good.
