Very nice hotel. Very close to 6th street, nice bar downstairs, pool is nice. Parking cost is crazy! And Valet is not much of a valet when you have to get your car on your own when the staff is not around.

This hotel is perfect to experience the downtown Austin experience in a great location for a great price. The entire staff was outstanding from checkin to checkout. Jonathan at the front desk was extremely helpful and friendly and made me feel very welcome. Kayla at the front desk was also extremely accommodating, kind, and helpful. The bartender, Kristine, was super cool and made having drinks at the bar more enjoyable. The GM and the F&B Manager were also extremely welcoming and friendly. The room was perfectly clean, comfortable, and had an awesome view. I've stayed here twice already and will definitely stay again and I highly recommend it to anyone! Great job Hotel Indigo staff, thank you!

I've stayed in Austin many times, I won't stay here again though. I also know I can't be the only one who has complained about this issue, the hotel is directly located next to an outside bar and when a woman shows up with her children it may be the considerate thing to not put them directly next to the bar with it's very loud music that does not stop playing until 2am. We thought the noise machines were a nice touch when we arrived but little did we know they were given to you to try and cover up the screaming techno music that would be played until 2am when you and your family had to be up at 5. The squealing A/C system also didn't help. Maybe this is more a review for the employees, take some consideration into the people that are checking in and adjust the rooms accordingly. Just, do better.

Upset that we paid for parking prior to our arrival only to be charged again. That's even after discussing with the front desk and both confirming that we had free parking. It's a convenient location.

Walkable to concert venue was great. What I didn't like was every time you first walked into the room it smelt like dirty mop water. Beds were very hard. We called for valet headed down to the lobby. After a waiting a while we asked how long and there wasn't anybody on staff yet but luckily someone came on shift soon after. If we had not of asked how long would we have stood in the lobby waiting???
