The location is excellent and the pool is perfect for relaxing with a view. Besides the noise from the adjoining room, the only other notable annoyance was having to tap my room card repeatedly in the elevator every time I went up to my room.ĭespite these faults, I'd stay again, but I'd ask for a space without an adjoining room. At a hotel of Hotel Indigo's caliber and price range, being able to clearly comprehend neighbors' conversations isn't acceptable. The thin door between the room and the adjoining room was more of a noise concern than the nearby concert venues. My room was comfortable, and despite being on the bottom floor overlooking multiple bars and concert venues, I only heard and felt the bass from these venues on two nights - and wasn't kept awake either night. The staff generally didn't engage with guests but were friendly when I asked for anything. The Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown-University is perfectly located for many types of visitors, especially those in town for a downtown conference, sightseeing, SXSW or a concert at Stubb's BBQ. There are public parking lots right next to the hotel. The Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown-University is in the eastern section of downtown Austin, flanked by the legendary Stubb's BBQ to the east and popular Red River bars to the north and south. So, our entire stay cost 60,000 IHG points, worth about $360 according to TPG's latest valuations. Since I had the new IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card, I saved 15,000 IHG points on my five-night stay, thanks to the card's fourth-night-free benefit. Cash rates start from around $150 per night, although many nights I checked were much more expensive than that. Unfortunately, the PointBreaks nights sold out quickly here, so if you want to stay here in the future on points you'll need to pay the normal 40,000 IHG points per night, which TPG's values at $240. When the spring IHG PointBreaks list went live, I was thrilled to find this property available for 15,000 IHG points per night. Across from iconic Stubb's BBQ, this Hotel Indigo is well-placed for sightseeing, live music, SXSW, conferences and visits to the state capital or the University of Texas at Austin. For this visit we decided to stay at the Hotel Indigo Austin Downtown-University in the Red River nightlife district. After living in Austin for eight years, my husband JT and I returned for our first visit since leaving in June 2017. Regardless of your reason for visiting Austin, Texas, you'll likely want to spend some time downtown.
