Home2 Suites by Hilton Austin East Side 5th Street

Everything in the hotel is good but a little bit far away from downtown

Great place to stay. Location is perfect for East Downtown accesibility.

We stayed in an accessible suite here at Home2 Suites East Austin. It was excellent! Very roomy, walk-in shower (which was essential), shampoo/conditioner/body wash provided; a hair dryer; couch with an ottoman; a curtain divider between the couch and bed; a desk with rolling chair; full-size refrigerator, some dishes, microwave, sink, etc; the bed was comfortable and not too high off the ground, so it was easy to get in; a large tv with remote; a closet with hangers; drawers for clothes; a spot for the suitcase(s); the air conditioner could be controlled with the thermostat and was very cool; the curtains on the window were blackout so the morning light did not disturb us. The front desk staff and others were very helpful, pleasant, and friendly. We asked them to clean the room while we were out, and they did a great job each day we stayed. The complimentary breakfasts were very good—a large variety of options for almost any appetite, including the most delicious & adorable waffles in the shape of Texas. On Monday morning there was an omelette station; each morning had some slightly different breakfast options. Two things were a bit confusing at first—you needed to use the key card to operate the elevator (they didn’t mention it at check-in) and also in the room, a key card was needed for the bathroom & hall light (also did not know about this until we figured it out in the room). The front desk said it was to save on electricity. A bit of a walk to the room from elevator.

We recently stayed at this hotel while visiting our child at UT Austin, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! The breakfast offered was exceptional. The front desk staff, particularly Dominik, along with the entire team, were incredibly friendly and greeted everyone with warm smiles. Jorge, who oversees the pool area, also provided excellent service, ensuring the pool was clean and well-maintained. Additionally, there is a dedicated app and website for UT parents that offers discounts on room rates. The lady managing the Boots on Forty was exceptionally kind and took the time to decorate the front desk for the arriving UT students. The rooms were spacious and equipped with a full-sized refrigerator and a dishwasher. Overall, I can only describe this experience as amazing!
