Value10 mentions · 1 filmed
- “ay was $130.01 per night including tax. That means we got 2.6cpp (cents per point) of value by booking the stay using points which is good value for World of Hyatt points.” 5
- “The staff gave her lots of loving and she liked having so many places to walk around. She also appreciated the lower pet fee as it means more treats for her.” 5
- “Paying $73.29 per night including tax for a stay in downtown Austin was therefore an amazingly low cost stay, especially seeing as the room we booked (even before the upgrade) had a full kitchen.” 1
- “I was therefore excited when I came across the new Hyatt Place Austin/Round Rock. It's a category 1 World of Hyatt property which means it only costs 5,000 points per night. That's great value, especially given how much a paid stay would've cost.” 5
- “The water pressure at the HP is next level awful. Good location. Decent product for Hyatt place. Overall decent value.” 7
- “The reason they didn't get four paws is because the pet fee for our stay would've been high at $175.” 1
- “🙂 There is a ton of seating in the lobby and plenty of room to space out. There is also the "H Market" that has various overpriced dinners, snacks and drinks.” 6
- “so overall really great room at the Hyatt Place Austin airport and a great deal if you're flying in late into Austin” On camera41:24
- “Decent product for Hyatt place. Overall decent value. But my goodness I have never in my life had to work so hard to wash my hair before.” 7
- “Overall a good hotel and reasonably good value. For a stay in February you will pay between about $230 and $360 per night depending on room and date.” 3
Bathroom12 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The bathroom is well-lit with tons of counter space.” 9
- “and then the bathroom has that sliding door one sink and a nice step in shower” On camera41:18
- “There was a spacious walk-in shower, with doors that closed all the way (you'd be surprised by how many hotels don't have this). The water pressure was good and only took a couple of seconds to get warm.” 5
- “The bathroom is a bit on the small side. Only 1 basin and the toilet right between it and the shower in the bath.” 3
- “The bathroom was small but functional. The water pressure was excellent.” 6
- “Bathrooms have roomy glass-doored stall showers and long vanities with plenty of storage space, though the sliding bathroom doors may compromise privacy for some guests.” 11
- “And it's a better location for ACL than the Hyatt House and I really dislike the Tommie due to the incredibly small rooms and terrible wet bathroom situation.” 7
- “There were two features I didn't care for when it came to the bathroom in our suite. First of all, the sink and vanity was in the bedroom area rather than the bathroom itself. This meant having to use the sink in the dark at night or by the light of my phone.” 1
- “One minor problem was that it was almost impossible to not spill water all over the floor due to the way that the door and shower head were positioned.” 6
- “The water pressure at the HP is next level awful. Good location. Decent product for Hyatt place. Overall decent value. But my goodness I have never in my life had to work so hard to wash my hair before.” 7
- “Behind a mirrored barn door, a bathroom with copious amounts of counter and shelf space makes laying out your toiletries a neat possibility.” 8
- “The bathroom itself had a fairly large walk-in shower. The water pressure was good, but not as amazing as the shower at the Homewood Suites Houston-Westchase we'd just come from.” 1
Service18 mentions
- “Staff was friendly and everything seemed well kept. I did not eat breakfast as I had a very early meeting.” 7
- “In addition to the power outlets on the wall next to the table, the table itself had power outlets (including a USB port) built into it which was a nice feature.” 1
- “Service at the Hyatt Place Austin/Round Rock was fantastic. All of their staff members were friendly, they'd say goodbye as we were leaving and greet us when we returned, they loved on Truffles and everyone seemed to work hard.” 5
- “"Great hotel, wonderful staff, family friendly location."” 2
- “The rooms exude old-school Texas elegance: think vintage crown molding, calming desert gold and tan linens, and pearly white accents.” 8
- “The people at the check in desk were very pleasant. They acknowledged my status, gave me free water and offered me a late check out.” 3
- “Again, there were plenty of outlets, both in the wall as well as on the light fixtures which is nice.” 6
- “The staff gave her lots of loving and she liked having so many places to walk around.” 5
- “I was checked in quickly and efficiently and went to my room even though it was a few hours prior to normal check-in time.” 9
- “Staff was friendly and everything seemed well kept.” 7
- “Overall in a good area. Nice rooms, if you are globalist they give you free valet parking or they did for me.” 7
- “Shae and I had a great stay at the Hyatt Place Austin/Round Rock. Our room was very comfortable, breakfast was great, there were some good amenities (including free guest laundry which saved us a few bucks) and service was excellent.” 5
- “Rooms and suites are significantly roomier than Hilton's all-glass neighbors like the new Marriott and have understated ATX quirks that nicely balance professional with fun lovin'. They're also ultra clean, well kept, and well stocked, including mini-fridge and hot beverage amenities, workspaces, and full bedside tech.” 8
- “The limited amount of service that we received was good. We declined housekeeping throughout our stay, so it was pretty much only when checking in and out that we had interactions with the staff.” 1
- “Room was clean but there was zero character. Staff were good.” 7
- “One thing which wasn't a nice feature was the fact that they hadn't put together the chair properly as it was missing a wheel. Thankfully Shae noticed this before sitting down, otherwise she'd have toppled backwards.” 1
- “The guy checking us in was very friendly.” 1
- “The breakfast staff kept everything well-stocked, although things were a little less smooth both Sunday mornings we were there. The hotel seemed to be much busier and so their staff were much more rushed trying to keep everything stocked.” 5
Room20 mentions · 2 filmed
- “The cabinet behind the desk contained a mini fridge. This had an adjustable temperature knob which I appreciated.” 5
- “While I don't love the desk chair there's plenty of space on the desk and plugs just about everywhere.” 9
- “so this is just a standard two queen room find these at Hyatt places all over the United States but everything felt really fresh and new” On camera40:55
- “Shae and I had a great stay at the Hyatt Place Austin/Round Rock. Our room was very comfortable, breakfast was great, there were some good amenities (including free guest laundry which saved us a few bucks) and service was excellent.” 5
- “One, the location by Lady Bird Lake (literally, steps to) makes it one of the most scenic hotels, not least if you have a lakeside room or suite.” 8
- “so overall really great room at the Hyatt Place Austin airport and a great deal if you're flying in late into Austin” On camera41:24
- “Room was clean but there was zero character.” 7
- “The 296 rooms are larger than many in town, and the modern decor looks fresh, with an abundance of gray and taupe alongside mid-tone wood-veneer furniture with clean lines.” 11
- “Please check our partner sites when booking to verify that details are still correct. This large mid-range hotel isn't necessarily hip by Austin standards, but decor is bright and contemporary, with a bit of personality that's expected from the Hyatt Place chain.” 11
- “The view from our room was OK - we've certainly had worse.” 5
- “Opt for a Lady Bird Lake view room for the best indoor sunset experience, though you won't be disappointed come curtain close with 48" HD LED Smart TVs, super soft bedding, and calming earth-toned bathrooms for company.” 8
- “The living room was a little narrow, but we still had plenty of space for what we needed.” 1
- “A nice size room with a full settee for sitting on, as well as a desk with lamp and chair for working on. A pleasant space.” 3
- “Despite all that, Shae and I enjoyed our stay. It was in a good location for walking around the city, we received an upgrade to a one bedroom suite and our suite was a good size and was clean and comfortable.” 1
- “One of the nicer perks of the rooms is the partially separate living area composed of gray sectionals, sharp red pillows, an ottoman, and work desk.” 11
- “All in all, I really liked our bedroom. I was a little disappointed initially that we didn't have one of their larger corner sofas, but in the end it didn't bother me.” 5
- “Overall, we did like our one bedroom suite. It felt new, was stylish and comfortable and had plenty of space for us and all our stuff (we travel full-time, so we have more stuff in our hotel room than your average person).” 1
- “393 guest rooms fine-tune attention to detail, outfitted with commissioned unicorn sculpture as an ode to Austin's startup companies, spacious walnut work counters wired up with smart tech (and flawless WiFi), and sumptuous bathrooms lit photo-studio-style and NEST products.” 8
- “Room was clean but there was zero character. Staff were good.” 7
- “I got a room on the top floor (the 18th) which is unusually high for HPs but there was no view, it was just looking at the sides of other buildings.” 7
Location11 mentions
- “We liked the location and enjoyed the suite we were upgraded to, but it seemed like they hadn't paid enough attention to all the finishing details when constructing the hotel, even though it seemingly opened five years ago.” 1
- “The hotel is also within walking distance of stores, restaurants and the rest of downtown Austin.” 1
- “It's the same category as the Hyatt Regency though a slight bit better located for walking downtown. Frankly, unless you're really lazy, downtown Austin is walkable from lots of places.” 9
- “The water pressure at the HP is next level awful. Good location. Decent product for Hyatt place. Overall decent value.” 7
- “All in all, my Hyatt House Austin/Downtown hotel review is that it was a pleasant stay. It is conveniently located and a good redemption on points or on cash.” 6
- “The_Valuist • 1y ago 2 stays in the last 6 weeks for work - same experience each time regarding water pressure. It's a bummer because the hotel is honestly pretty good but for the water pressure. Very walkable to the trail systems and around downtown.” 7
- “One of the nice things about where the Hyatt House is located in downtown Austin is that there are several grassy areas within a few blocks, including a section right outside the hotel on the other side of the road.” 1
- “And it's a better location for ACL than the Hyatt House and I really dislike the Tommie due to the incredibly small rooms and terrible wet bathroom situation.” 7
- “WiFi is complimentary at the Hyatt House Austin/Downtown, and I found the speed to be okay.” 6
- “Another top location if you want to be based by UT, yet stay within walking distance to all the big attractions downtown.” 8
- “I stayed at HP Austin a few months ago. It's perfectly fine but nothing special. Close to most of downtown but not right in the middle of anything interesting.” 7
Food13 mentions
- “Overall though, we had a good breakfast experience throughout our 11 night stay at the Hyatt Place Austin/Round Rock.” 5
- “Lovely breakfast is enjoyed by all who choose to use it. It is free and available from 06h30 till 09h00.” 3
- “Big Samsung LCD TVs, musician photography, and guitar pick keys add to the rockstar feel. It's worth checking out their notable farm-to-table dining experiences at TRACE (including drag brunch) and excellent AWAY spa (by their massive gym) for when you need to detox to retox.” 8
- “The beloved on-site restaurant, Geraldine's, is a must for any itinerary-with live music, brunch, and a happening roof sidebar.” 8
- “Breakfast is very meh and I usually just get something else nearby or pack some granola bars to eat until I get to ACL.” 7
- “Breakfast is standard Hyatt Place fare, again something I think they lead when it comes to free breakfast at a limited service property.” 9
- “The free breakfast is really good.” 7
- “Shae and I had a great stay at the Hyatt Place Austin/Round Rock. Our room was very comfortable, breakfast was great, there were some good amenities (including free guest laundry which saved us a few bucks) and service was excellent.” 5
- “Breakfast was generally as blah as most US HPs are, although one morning they had gravy which I put on my potatoes and that was mildly interesting.” 7
- “Always get a small welcome amenity such as a plate of (truly delicious) cookies. The free breakfast is really good.” 7
- “Smart TV, fridge, Keurig, and a microwave are also included (you can heat up meals from their on-site mini grocery store). That's if you have not already opted to dine at Analog Bar, or tried the breakfast buffet on floor two. Spoiler alert: it's delicious.” 8
- “The Hyatt House Austin Downtown on the other hand had one of the most disappointing breakfast selections we've encountered in the past year. It consisted of granola bars, yogurt, fruit and fruit juice - that's it.” 1
- “I pointed out a few flaws in our stay earlier in the review, like the ridiculously loud bathroom door, a dishwasher which wasn't installed properly, a poor breakfast selection, etc.” 1
Noise3 mentions
- “The Hyatt Place is a very generic hotel. There's nothing special about it, the vibe is "This is a hotel to stay at for your conference", and there aren't any particularly good views - it's just other tall buildings across the street.” 7
- “Be aware that room walls are thin, and noise travels throughout hotel interiors.” 11
- “Truffles gives our stay four paws out of four - pawfect! She loved being in a corner room on the top floor as it meant our room was nice and quiet.” 5
View2 mentions
- “Its 319 rooms are outfitted with dark woods and patinated bronze fixtures that add intrigue, and soaker tubs overlooking the cityscape make your stay that much more special.” 8
- “It's the kinda place your company would put you up in for a conference. You can get some decent views but its really just of other buildings mostly so there's not really a preferred view.” 7
