What guests think

Rooms are generally comfortable and spacious, but some feel dated, with noisy or weak A/C and minor fixture issues like shower doors and worn furniture. Many enjoy the rooftop pool and bar areas, though hours, cleanliness, or event closures can disappoint. Expect a lively, convenient base best suited to guests comfortable with nightlife noise.

I was hoping for a better pool experience. Especially in the summer. No bar service. Pool was dirty. Found a straw in water. Towels were available but not pool towels. They were very small. Had to use 3 to cover the chair. There was no music. Just felt low budget.

The hotel was just ok. The room was clean. It was a place to sleep, nothing more. The pool area was a bit run down. One day there were no towels and garbage laying around the pool area.

The hotel is in a good location for getting around downtown Austin. Check in wasn’t great, there was an issue with their system and instead of letting the line of customers trying to checking know this, they just ignored us until they were ready to proceed. Didn’t find them particularly friendly. The restaurant on site was closed for the duration and the pool was also closed for maintenance, we didn’t know this in advance. The rooms are nice and comfortable but overall I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Wonderful and beautiful hotel. Love the room. However please note that the hotel is valet only ($45 per night), there is no self parking. Nice pool but could be cleaner, but some pool furniture was torn. Love the pool bar.

Ended up at another hotel. At check in the room we paid for was not available. We were offered to remove some fees and remove the cost of the room we did not receive. That seemed ok. The staff at front desk and door were nice. Got to the room and the AC was making very loud screeching noises that was causing inner ear pain. It was cooling good though. But due to the painful noise we Had to turn ac off while We figured out what to do. Our phones got poor service in the building and there was also no internet available through the hotel. We called the front desk multiple times over a period of 30 minutes with no answer. So we had to make a decision to book elsewhere as the entire stay started off wrong. The floors were filthy and there was food behind the head board. Switching was the right decision. I would not choose the stay at this indigo location in the future.

Lovely property, great staff, VERY clean rooms. I could smell the cleanliness level, for me, that was my favorite part. One of the elevators had an issue but they have a second next to it and it was fine. Indigo still apologized by offering a free drink at the bar or a free appetizer, which was thoughtful even though we had no complaint. I also love the security level they use for entrance to the floors and your room, you must use your card in the elevator to get to your floor. We chose to stay here as we stayed a year ago for the first time and it was lovely, and close to the Moody and 6th St. It’s perfectly located near enough to eateries as Stubbs is directly across the street as well. We will continue to choose to stay here any time we are in town for a show.

The property was in a good location and easy to find. The Front Desk Rep and Valet Rep. were friendly and willing to help when needed. The room was okay but needed upgrades in certain areas (rust, chipped paint and peeling wallpaper). the Bar/ Restaurants were closing by time I got settled in, but the lobby had small food/ drinks available for purchase. I would book here again.

Booked and paid for 1 night at this property. The room itself was just ok, felt musty and damp, even with the AC on. Pillows were flat and lumpy. Shower pressure was weak. Proximity to restaurants and entertainment is great, though. Unfortunately, my son became very ill. We are from Corpus Christi, 3 hours away from Austin, and with an approaching tropical storm, I felt it best to check out and get him back home to get him medical help. Instead of leaving the key cards in the room and leaving, I took them to the front desk. I had paid $40 for valet parking and had to retrieve my car from the parking garage myself with a sick child in tow. Upon return home I noticed I was charged $75 for early departure fee, even though I had already prepaid for the whole night. I called and talked with Ryan, who after explanation of circumstances, agreed to waive the charge. The fact I was billed this additional fee in the first place is enough to deter me from ever staying at another IHG property again. The quality does not match the price.

The pool and pool bar were wonderful and there was nothing to complain about with the room itself. The service was the worst I've ever received. We stayed for 5 nights and only received housekeeping services once and that was on our last night, and service was only completed after 3 consecutive days of specifically requesting housekeeping. Fine for a day or two stay but don't expect to even be acknowledged by any staff except for the front desk clerks begging for your tips with their basic and poor food and bar recommendations.

The staff was incredibly friendly & helpful. There was parking around the vicinity of the hotel if you decided to not utilize the valet services offered. However, the housekeeping individuals never made our beds; they only ever supplied the restrooms with new towels each day, which I found surprising. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this place to others!

The room was clean and the valet service was well organized. There was not a self park option. The hotel was in walking distance of fun things to do downtown. There was street noise and music late into the night, so not a quiet location. The air conditioner was loud, but it kept the room cool. The phone did not work in the room and it was difficult to reach the front desk for assistance on our mobile .

The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, staff is very helpful and friendly, beds are very comfortable so overall it was great. But the neighboring bar Cheer Up Charlies played the loudest music Ive ever heard until they closed at 2am, so we did not sleep well until the middle of the night. If I were to book again I would try to get a room on the opposite side of the building at least.

My Husband and two boys stayed at this hotel for one night so my boys could go to a concert, I will say that it will have to be the only hotel available for us to stay here again. I was told check in time was 3pm. my husband and boys showed up at 3:20ish and were told their room was not ready and that they had to wait, 45 minutes later they were able to get their room, then was told there is a $40 parking fee that was not disclosed on the site ( only mentioned valet parking for $45 ) then the a/c in the room didn't work. The a/c was set on 68 and the room was still at 82 degrees, something was said to front desk and was told there were no other rooms for them, so they slept in an 80-degree room for the night. So needless to say, it was unbearably hot.

Wow, what a great experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and even let us check in early at 12:30 at no extra charge. The rooms were clean, and they kindly stored our luggage until our flight while we relaxed by the amazing pool. Jonathan was an absolute sweetheart, and the whole stay was truly a 10/10. The only downside was the area—it felt a bit sketchy, with a lot of homeless people around and a strong smell in some spots.

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.

We were not informed that the pool and roof top area were under construction during our stay. We purchased “free” breakfast with our stay. The restaurant was disgusting and covered with nats, service was the worst I’ve ever seen. Literally had to interrupt the one server from doing busy work to ask for waters a third time. Out of four mornings we went to the restaurant twice, first order was completely wrong and had something I am allergic to in it, server made it such an inconvenience to receive the correct order and told us to try again tomorrow.. The other time we left after 35 minutes of still not receiving water (server mentioned above) It was a nice, mostly centrally located area with walkability, but I would tell you to spend your money elsewhere.

It was very hot in the lobby as soon as I walked in. The first room I stayed in had an extremely loud AC, so I switched rooms, but unfortunately, the AC in the second room was just as loud and woke me up every time it turned on. The room also felt hot and stuffy, almost like there was very little air circulation. I honestly considered asking for a refund, but by that point, it was too late into my stay. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience, especially compared to the LA location, which I really enjoyed.
