The hotel is showing its age in my room. Poor lighting for a handycap room. Parking was $55 per day. Housekeeping is really good. Mary Lewis did an outstanding job on my room. She was so polite and friendly. Stacy, who comes the omelets, makes the best omelets I have except eaten. She remembered me each time. She was so friendly. John is such a delite to see after a very long drive. He puts a smile on your face and makes you giggle. He greats everyone with that huge smile

"Seth and The Embassy Suites to the rescue!"

Me and my son had come into town and had a great stay. We left forgetting to print off some very important documents that we needed. We returned the next evening and Seth helped us out with printing the documents needed for our 6am appointment! He was so helpful and he saved us! The picture I added was a recreation of Seth’s moment. Thank you again!

"Good hotel, great location, awesome trail."
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed May 18, 2025
Great location downtown and practically on the river. Fairly standard Embassy Suites with 2 room suites, evening wine and breakfast and in decent shape. Seemed to be clean tho some stains on our upholstered furniture, tight bathroom but nice walk in shower. The breakfast and atrium areas were quite nice. Location is a plus for sure for this hotel. Easily walkable to restaurants, downtown, south congress area and a GREAT walking trail. The Butler Hike and Bike trail is awesome. A 10 mile loop trail on both sides of the river thru the middle of town. Sometimes you wouldn't even know you were in town with all the trees and river. Parts of the trail are actually over water along the river. It's a wide and well kept trail with plenty of room and nice surfaces, lots of joggers, walkers, bikers, dog walkers. It was the highlight for me of our trip. The hotel is at the base of the South Congress (bat) bridge and entrance to the trail. The hotel staff were quite nice and helpful. Shocking to me, there are waymo/uber driverless cars in Austin, very popular and many of them. It's a young and modern city and nice skyline. I'd return to this city and this hotel, and particularly the great trail.

"This is not what I expected from a Hilton property"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed May 15, 2025
Do not stay at this hotel! The rooms are run down. The shower head leaked really bad and sprayed on the ceiling, the towel rack was barely hanging on. The door knob in the room was falling off. The couch had a big rip in the material. The hotel has 3 elevators but only one was working. Another guest stated there has only been elevator for months. This is a one star hotel that charges $50 a day for parking that isn’t even connected to the hotel. Stay at your own risk and don’t stay in room 824!

"Good Location and Friendly Staff, But Property Needs Attention"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed May 13, 2025
I recently stayed at this Embassy Suites on Congress. The location is excellent, and the staff I interacted with were kind and helpful. The hotel also had a clean feel. However, the overall experience fell short — particularly given that Embassy Suites is part of the Hilton family of brands, which usually reflects a higher standard. The hotel property showed clear signs of neglect. I wasn’t even paying attention to these things at first, but they started to stand out — and quickly began to add up. Two of the three elevators were out of service, and the only sign about this was posted on the first floor — not on the guest floors. With the hotel nearly full, this caused long delays. Throughout the property, I noticed more signs of poor upkeep — a phone hanging off the wall that my friend tried to fix (unsuccessfully), broken tiles in the only working elevator, and non-functioning lights on the elevator buttons. My room also had several maintenance issues: a towel rack pulling out of the wall, something unkempt or stained near the shower base (unclear what was going on there), cracked and peeling surfaces, wallpaper beginning to come off the wall, and a very low shower head (about 5'8"), which made it awkward for my taller friend to use. The property overall feels worn down. Other guests were voicing similar concerns while waiting for the elevator, and the atmosphere felt more neglected than I’ve come to expect from an Embassy Suites. I hope to see improvements at this location to better reflect the quality typically associated with Hilton properties.
