Hotels near Jessica Hollis Park, Austin

Listen, I don’t usually mind Fairfield Inns. I appreciate the lower cost for a standard good restaurant. But I had a pretty terrible experience here. The staff was friendly and helpful and try to accommodate me but the problem is that there was no cure for the problem. Let’s just say you need to stay away from the 2nd floor. The first room I got smelled like mold and the mini fridge made an awful hissing noise, which I knew would be a problem for a light sleeper like myself. But the smell was the worst. So I asked to get a different room, which the gentleman helping me was kind enough to search for but could only find a room on the same floor. So I went to my new room hoping it would be better. But nope. It was a 2nd floor issue. The room smell was just as bad. But at this point there were no other rooms open, according to the front desk. So I settled in that dreadful room, with a splitting headache from the awful smell. I even brought some co-workers to come smell the room and make sure I wasn’t going crazy. They were staying on the 4th floor and had no issue with smell, but immediately recognized that my room smelled awful. Now, the rooms were fine, although there’s barely any decor (maybe because they ended up putting me in an accessible room and they might not decorate it as usual there), but it was sterile and I felt like I was staying in a hospital. To make matters worse, my 3rd night there my mini fridge started making a hissing noise in the middle of the night. So loud I had to just unplug the fridge from the wall. Please get higher quality mini fridges! So, no, I don’t recommend this hotel. The breakfast was fine. I always enjoy the waffle maker but you can get those in most similar hotels.

The scenery is very good, and the corner windows are very satisfying, especially at night when the lights outside the windows are very impressive. The room is clean and tidy, a little small, but the view is good, these are not important

Our stay at the Hyatt Regency on our wedding night was phenomenal! We were hoping for maybe some champagne or something special since it was our wedding night, but it was still a great experience overall. We had an amazing view and great service throughout the night there. Would definitely stay again!

We were just visiting Austin for the weekend. We booked 2 rooms with our friends and well it was the best experience ever. The stuff is so friendly specially Sonva. She knew it was my birthday and also the birthday of my friends so she treated us VIP and offered us drinks on the house. Thank you 💜

In the words of Bette Davis, “What a Dump.” In its favor, we had a nice view of Lady Bird Lake from our window, which was pretty to wake up to, and the water pressure in the shower was great! The bathroom seemed partially updated and was pretty decent. Free parking, too. There were a few HBO channels on tv. However, the hotel is very dated and not very clean looking. The indoor parking garage was filthy and was dimly lit. Didn’t feel very safe in there, so we parked in the outside lot whenever possible. No greeting from the night time desk clerk when we came back from dinner, as she seemed to purposely be avoiding eye contact with us (she wasn’t on the phone or busy with someone else). The elevators were very smudgy and too dark, also. The beds slumped a bit in the middle, the linens were old and tired looking, and the chair in the corner looked worse than some I’ve put by the curb. An old leak on the ceiling was poorly patched up, and there were stains on the desk chair, carpet and walls. The door to the adjoining room didn’t provide enough sound proofing, as I heard our neighbor’s phone convo loud and clear. The pool area didn’t look very inviting, as there were no umbrellas or trees to block the strong sun. We wanted to stay in downtown Austin to be within walking distance to things, so this was the least expensive option. But not much could be walked to from there, and the area it was in was a bit sketchy, so we ended up taking Ubers, anyway. We had booked our last night at a hotel in the Arboretum area, because this one went up to a ridiculously high amount for Friday night (music festival in town), and it ended up being just as convenient to take an Uber from there (15-20 mins) to downtown. Plus, the hotel was much nicer and way less expensive. Live and learn.

The check-in and out was smooth. Our stay is ok, the room is quite small but bed is comfy. The breakfast option was nice but the next day, we woke up a bit late, we joined buffet breakfast at 8:30AM but most of the food were gone and was not replaced. The location is good, near N. Lamar Ave and I-35 which is accesible to Downtown Austin.

Perfect

We pulled in about 2:00 am. We were tired and pleased to find a place near the airport at a reasonable rate. Our plan was to relocate to a better/different place in the morning. It turned out that the staff and facility were so good, we extended our stay for a few more days. A huge THANK YOU to the staff at the Wyndham Airport location. A great value because of the great staff!
