About this hotel
Hampton Inn Austin East Side 5th Street sits on the corridor's East 5th Street strip, seven minutes on foot from Lazarus Brewing Co. and the East 6th restaurant and brewery scene, closer to that nightlife stretch than the university or downtown hotels covering this station. Free breakfast is included in the rate, a genuine cost saver against the corridor's paid-breakfast properties, and the pool is a rarer amenity among the East 5th Street hotels than it might first appear. The fitness center rounds out the practical amenities, and the building is marked pet-friendly, kid-friendly, accessible and smoke-free. With an 8.8 rating across 208 reviews, it holds up well against the corridor's other hotels despite the smallest review count of the group.

Our take
Hampton Inn Austin East Side 5th Street is the easy East Side base I would pick for a short Austin stay: breakfast is free, there is a pool and a fitness center, and rooms are pet-friendly, kid-friendly and accessible. Parking is paid. Lazarus Brewing Co. on East 6th is seven minutes on foot. An 8.8 rating from more than 200 reviews confirms a well-run three-star.
- Walk the seven minutes to Lazarus Brewing Co. for dinner and a drink, it's the standout local option in this part of the corridor.
- Use the free breakfast every morning rather than paying elsewhere, it's one of the clearer value amenities at this rate.
- Compare against Home2 Suites next door if a kitchen matters more than the pool, the two properties trade off on that amenity.
Why we love it
