My new husband and I got married in Hot Springs and The Austin is the hotel we chose to block off rooms for ourselves and our guests to stay in while we were in town for the wedding festivities. We chose The Austin primarily for its location (it was a block and a half from our reception hall) and for... More

After reading a lot of differing reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect. The room was a bit shabby but clean. I believe they are in the process of remodeling and obviously hadn't gotten to this room yet. The beds were comfortable. The lamps were newer and they had electrical plugs on them for easy charging of electronic items, which... More

Stayed the weekend of 5/4/12/thru 5/6/12 for a dance competition. If you are looking for a comfortable, better than ok hotel, look else where. We selected The Austin for accessibility to the convention center where the competition was held. Upon checking in on Friday evening the front counter staff was not friendly or helpful. The lobby is misleading compared to... More

Good location and friendly staff but the rooms seem tired and old. The room was clean but the curtains in 801 have a hole in them. If you need to be close to the convention center, it's a safe bet. If you're looking for luxury, go elsewhere.

Dear 823Happy, Thank you for your review. We corrected the hole in the curtain, which was unfortunately left from another guest. The room has also gotten new carpet as well. We hope to see you again soon. Have a great day! Sincerely, Sarah McNeese Front Office Manager More

I was very scared about what to expect before I arrived at The Austin. I will say that the best thing about The Austin is the staff. All staff members we came in contact with were especially nice and helpful. The room was clean which is always a good thing. The room furnishings are old and need replacing, but the... More

I just stayed at the Austin Hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and couldn't have had a better experience. I looked at the reviews at Priceline and was a little worried, but it was nothing like others had written. The rooms were very comfortable. The staff was excellent and the location was perfect for downtown activities. It is a $10 cab... More

My mom and I stayed in the Austin Hotel for a pageant! Two nights and 1 day. The staff was amazing and helpful and seemed to always remember who we were. Our room was clean and quite spacious. We had an awesome time with the Austin Hotel being located right off Cleaveland Street (downtown, near the bath houses).

A surprisingly "tired" hotel for a convention center in a resort town. Room was clean but looked like a small town motel from the 1970's.
