  Outstanding Customer Service and Genuine Care

  09 Mar 2026

  I had a really wonderful experience with this hotel and their team. During my first stay, things did not go as smoothly as I had hoped, but what truly stood out was how understanding, professional, and helpful everyone was afterward. Instead of dismissing the issue, their team handled it with genuine care and offered me the choice of either a refund for the stay or another stay completely free, wh… Read moreI had a really wonderful experience with this hotel and their team.

  Great hotel, amazing price

  06 Jan 2026

  One of the top ten hotels I've stayed in, ever. We got the king upgrade for just a few $ more. The super-friendly staff helped us check in quickly and gave us all the details.

I took two or three showers daily just because it felt so nice. 6th St… Read moreOne of the top ten hotels I've stayed in, ever. We got the king upgrade for just a few $ more.

However, in a competitive market like Austin, there is no r… Read moreThe Stephen F Austin Hotel is in a great location. It has amazing history and is a local institution.

  Could be much better.

  01 Nov 2025

  The namesake of this hotel within Texas is almost without equal: The Stephen F Austin. The location on 7th street is near perfect. This property could be among the finest in Texas and perhaps the world, yet they accept mediocrity. From the postage stamp size rooms and airline-sized bathrooms to the surly front desk staff and old furniture mediocrity abounds. It’s shocking given the potential of th… Read moreThe namesake of this hotel within Texas is almost without equal: The Stephen F Austin. The location on 7th street is near perfect.
