La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Austin Near The Domain
"Priced low for a reason. The entire property smelled like mold, and even our rented rooms had a strong mildew odor. The smell was persistent and made our stay uncomfortable. We checked out 2 hrs later and went to another hotel. Would not recommend!"

Archer Hotel Austin at the Domain
"Everyone was helpful and provided excellent customer service. Loved the location of our hotel in the domain because it was central to dining and shopping. The restroom floor was a bit dirty and there were carpet stains but everything else was great. We loved the shower."

Hyatt Place Austin / Lake Travis / Four Points
"Nice place. Very clean. Small but treed little walking loop for a dog walk area. Good sized parking lot but no real place to park a trailer if you have a boat or something. I enjoyed that right across the road was a food truck area that was dog friendly."
