I had stayed at an Indigo once in Nashville and a Kimpton in Denver. Based on those excellent stays, I decided to stay in Austin's Indigo. This hotel did not disappoint. In fact, it surpassed my expectations. The room was spacious and so was the bathroom and shower. I loved the swimming pool and view. The location was convenient and easy to get to all the major attractions. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. The nearby neighborhood restaurants were all great. The king sized bed was very plush and comfortable. The chairs in the room were also high quality and comfortable. The big bonus was the Lavazza espresso machine. This is one of my favorite coffees! I will definitely stay at an Indigo again because it offers high quality accommodations at a great value!

The bed was comfortable and the location was fairly convenient. The pool was closed and the laundry machines didn’t work. Luckily, the guy at the front desk arranged for someone to clean our laundry, which saved my review. The cleaning staff were wonderful and very helpful. The a/c was obnoxiously loud. We had to go next door to the Holiday Inn to get coffee in the morning, which was inconvenient and strange since Indigo is supposed to be a step up from Holiday Inn.
