Home2 Suites By Hilton

Need a place by The Domain? Stay here. It’s brandy-​new (I’m writing this in December 2015), everything is spotless and working great. It is 73 billion times better than the Fairfield Inn I stayed at last week on the MoPac service road where the water smelled like wet dog and the hot water never worked. Here at the the Home2 Suites, you get a nice, spacious, eco-​friendly suite with a kitchen (full-​size fridge, microwave, plates/​silverware, etc.; a cooktop is available at the front desk) and a very comfy bed. The low-​flow shower head actually doesn’t feel all that low-​flowy, so it’s pleasant. Bathroom is great, with an enthusiastic fan… room has great ventilation… everything rocks.
My only complaints, which were easily remedied with a quick call to the front desk: They only give you one bar of soap (for your hands) figuring you’ll use the dispenser of body wash in the shower. I asked for a second bar of soap, got it, so it’s all good. Also, I was cutting some veggies in my room and the sharp knives in the room’s cutlery drawer is about as sharp as a butter knife, so I got a nice, sharp knife from the front desk. Easy.
Will *definitely* stay here again.

Fairly new hotel across from Top Golf. We had to input the GPS address of top golf in order to get to the hotel. of the domain. We came to Austin for the weekend as I was the «au pair» for my nephew as my sister attended a wedding. I found this place on Google that would be family friendly. So glad to have found it. The place is so new that 3^rd party search engines have not included the hotel in their search.
We had a party of 4 adults plus a baby. Plenty of room for all of us and a pack and play for the baby. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We were greeted upon entering the hotel. Even in the elevator we were offered assistance if needed. Our room wasn’t quite ready so we got the 406 one that had a view of the pool and patio below. Too bad it was a hurricane weekend when we were in Austin so wasn’t able to enjoy the pool or outdoors. The hotel is clean, sleek, and very modern with lots of pops of color. Loved it. Lobby has plenty of space to mingle and eat. Continental breakfast in the morning that is hidden behind a curtain during the day. Plenty of TVs as well. Juices (orange and apple) and even strawberry kiwi water. Fresh fruits, cereal, oatmeal, bagels, coffee, and microwavable breakfast sandwich and omelet.
The room, as mentioned, is spacious. 2 TVs in the room, kitchen with fridge/​freezer, microwave, and even a dishwasher. No stove but they said they can bring a conventional/​portable on if requested but we didn’t need it. Under the sink they had a sponge and dish soap. Plenty of dishes (plates and bowels, cups) and silverware. It was really a home away from home. The bathrooms or toiletries of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body wash are of the Neutrogena line. Shampoo and bodywash are in a nice dispensing container in the shower. Plenty of towels. A little comment is, I thought the toilet paper was a little far from the toilet for one to reach. Just saying. They do not have daily maid service but can be provided upon request. It’s on the bathroom mirror on when they do room cleaning. No weekend service unless requested by noon. Cleaning every 5 days of your stay regardless if it’s a weekend.
There was a hiccup with our stay but it wasn’t their fault. Corey took care of the complaint right away. It was. Saturday evening and I had my nephew sleeping at 7 and suddenly he wakes up at 8 pm crying like a banshee because he was woken up from the shrieking screams next door. I could hear the females coming to the room next door. Occasional scream or loud noise but too many shrieks and the little one was not having it. I finally calmed my nephew down after 20 minutes to get him back to bed. Still… shrieking next door. I called the lobby and Cory informed me of a birthday party going on next door. I didn’t want to ruin the fun but we selected a hotel that would accommodate the little one with minimal disturbance. However, shrieking should should not occur at any hotel in my opinion. Cory went to the room and addressed the noise right away. I’m not sure if they moved them or just quiet up. I know they were not there the first day we were there so… yeah.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay. We are definitely come back on our next visit. Close to the domain and shopping. Clean, friendly and best value for the stay. I recommend this for people with families or large groups. We saw a lot of families and even wedding parties staying at the hotel. Btw, pet friendly! Love seeing all the dogs walking thru the lobby after a walk. I will definitely be looking to staying at other Home2suite locations.

Stayed here during Labor Day weekend this year. We had a great time but the stay was super short, so our needs were very minimal. Pool looked nice but we were heading down to 6^th street for the night. You get a complimentary bottled water and snack during your stay along with a pretty nice spread for breakfast.

Online check in/​pick your own room was spectacularly convenient as traffic had me running later than expected. Upon arrival, we entered the lobby. It was really loud. Some peeps in the lobby just visiting and watching a game on tv. Seemed «echoey». The front desk clerk was welcoming and smiling. She was multitasking. Giving me my keys, answering her phone, another guest waiting to talk to her. Didn’t try the «saline pool» but the concept sounds intriguing. No chemicals. Sounds like a good idea. The room is squeaky clean. A large refrigerator and dishwasher but alas, no bath tub. A shower awaits. Love love love the room darkening window blind. Lots of plugs available so that is always a plus for phone and iPad chargers. I usually have to unplug something like the alarm clock! All in all a spacious and CLEAN room. The king size suite is comfy. I can easily recommend his establishment so far. A hearty «oh yeah baby» to the IN shower shampoo and body wash. I loved loved loved it. Good product (neutrogena) and very convenient… no teeny bottles and no bar soap. Do bring your own conditioner if needed. Also please note a cool wheeled table that can be used for various functions. It’s hidden demurely under the desk… almost didn’t notice it. Very functional. Free wifi as well. Quiet room. Will see how the continental breakfast stands up to my scrutiny. ;)

4.7 stars. See my check in status. Great parking. Close to top golf. Laundry, kitchen, gym. Only bad thing is hot water takes a while.

Others have explained the hotel pretty well.
I’d also add that this location shares a parking lot with Top Golf. That can be a negative or a positive, depending on your interest. Top Golf is a lot of fun, but there’s a lot of traffic and they play music surprisingly loudly.
As for the hotel, it’s pretty new, so everything is fresh & looks very nice. It’s very spacious and comfortable. Lobby is attractive & has a lot of seating. There’s a fire pit outside and seating areas outside as well.
I’ll add that they only do housekeeping tasks by request on the weekends. I always forget that about Home2 Suites.

I’ve stayed at a couple of Home2 Suites (SLC and the North Austin ones) and as they build them, they keep improving them. I love the setup with the kitchenette.
What puts this ahead of the other kitchenette brands is they manage to keep the room very bright (love it!) with a giant window, privacy screen & shade that allows you the amount of light you want. Springhill Suites tend to be on the darker side, as do Embassy Suites.
Laundry is, astonishingly, free (whuuuut?) with new large load washers and dryers. They put the washers in the same area (with a dividing wall) as the exercise room (smart!) so while you wait you can get in some steps.
The only drawback to the free laundry: people tend to use the washers more since they’re not feeding a cupful of quarters into them.
The bathroom at this one is almost too big — not a good use of space, they could’ve put less room in the bathroom and made the living area even more spacious. There’s a ceiling length curtain between bed and living area you can draw across for privacy if needed — personally, I don’t.
The rolling table is a great idea and every hotel room should have one. I use it for extra counter space in the kitchen, as a work desk, etc. The counters/​storage run the length of the room.
The only drawback is the lack of a second chair so you could have a meal at the rolling table if there’s two of you.

Average but new hotel… still working out the kinks. My hot/​cold water was switched, so I had a cold shower before I figured it out. Hair conditioner is a premium so make sure to bring your own. Kitchens include the basics but no stoves (I didn’t need this, just thought it was odd).
