I’m visiting from San Antonio and had the pleasure of meeting Maria C. while she was working in the hotel lobby. She was so friendly, hardworking, and attentive to her job. We had a nice conversation about San Antonio since she mentioned her daughter lives there. Her positive attitude and pride in her work really stood out to me. I also loved seeing the staff having their daily morning huddle—it was nice to see everyone coming together as a team. I loved my stay at the Hilton, especially the convenient location within walking distance of the Moody Center for my concert. I had a great experience and would definitely stay again!

Martha was absolutely wonderful during our stay! She went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed, comfortable, and taken care of. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail really stood out and made our experience at the hotel even better. It’s not every day you come across someone who genuinely takes pride in making guests feel appreciated, but Martha definitely does. She was friendly, helpful, and had a great attitude every time we interacted with her. Thank you, Martha, for making our stay special! Employees like you are a big reason guests choose to come back. You deserve to be recognized for the excellent service you provide!

\⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Over the past year, I’ve stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Austin - University Area once a month for my required onsite classes in my doctoral nursing program. Since I live 5 to 6 hours away, I usually fly into Austin early, and every stay has been smooth because of the wonderful staff. I especially want to recognize Martha, who has been amazing since my first visit. She always goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome and valued. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail have really stood out to me and my classmates. Knowing Martha is there gives me peace of mind because I know any questions or concerns will be handled quickly and with real care. Miguel has also been great and is always ready to help make sure everything goes smoothly. Thanks to both of them, staying here feels more like coming home than just checking into a hotel. One thing I really appreciate is how the hotel tries to let me check in early whenever they can. After an early flight, having a room ready means a lot. I never have to worry about where I’ll stay, where to park, or if things are set up, because the team always takes care of everything. Breakfast is another highlight for me. It’s convenient, fresh, and a great way to start a long day of classes. As busy healthcare professionals and grad students, having a good breakfast before heading to campus is a big help. is within walking distance of the University of Texas and the nursing school, making it incredibly convenient for students attending classes, conferences, or university events. Being able to walk to campus instead of dealing with traffic and parking stress is a major advantage. My classmates and I are really grateful for the hospitality we’ve received this past year. Even when there’s a mix-up, it gets fixed right away and always with professionalism.ike to thank Michelle Gil for helping make these arrangements possible for our group. Her support has played a huge role in making our monthly trips stress-free and enjoyable. The DoubleTree Austin - University Area really feels like my home away from home while I work on my degree, and that’s mostly thanks to great team members like Martha. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Austin for school, business, or fun. Thank you for making every stay so positive! 🌟

Stayed here to attend Eric Clapton’s CrossRoads Guitar fest and it’s so convenient to the Moody! Had the breakfast buffet at the DoubleTree in Austin and was pleasantly surprised. Good selection, everything was fresh and hot, and Jennifer was so kind to|Me. She did a great job keeping everything stocked and clean. The service was so friendly and attentive. It’s a hotel breakfast buffet, so there’s only so much you can say, but this was definitely one of the better ones I’ve had. I’d absolutely do it again.

Great experience here for a few days. Coming in with 5 tour buses can be overwhelming to get parked. Hotel had out spots saved and made the job easier for us. All staff were polite and accommodating for our group. Martha and Gab at the front desk really extended a warm welcome to us helping us with various things during our stay. Definitely would visit again.
