Nice but music from outside was very loud. I wish that would have been told to me ahead of time. Also having to valet and being given a choice was difficult.

Everything was smooth from check in with Andrew to check out! The staff are super friendly and accommodating. If you don't like loud music than this is not the place for you. Stubs Backyard bar b q had bands each night. We enjoyed the music but others may not. Perhaps ask for a room on the opposite side. The only other downside is the parking rate is quite pricey at $45 plus tax USD per night. However, I would highly recommend this hotel.

You won’t sleep!

Located across from two bars with live music. Very few rooms where the noise is muted. Friends could not sleep for the noise, light shows, or the vibrations from the live bands! Two rooms had flooded floors that never got addressed even after multiple requests for service.

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.

Beautiful Hotel in Great Location

Hotel Indigo is a great place to stay in downtown Austin! The staff was all super helpful and friendly, the hotel was beautiful, the breakfast was great, and the location was perfect! You are next door to some great restaurants, and within a short walk to the Capitol and much of downtown. If bars are your thing, Red River Street is full of them, but we walked around the area at night without feeling very uneasy. Even though parking costs a little extra, we were so glad to not have to worry about where to park our truck. We parked it when we arrived, and we walked and Ubered during the stay. We enjoyed our stay greatly!
