I was sceptical in the beginning due to some bad reviews but it ended up being better than expected. If you’re ok with not-the-newest hotels/motels this can definitely work. There were no bugs in my room, it was clean to an ok level, but the best thing about it is the location. I walked from there to everywhere in Austin basically, so easy and I did not feel unsafe (walked during the day). And just 12ish mins away on foot there’a a food Park with a lot of different foods, I tried the Rollin Smoke and would come back to Austin for it.

Older property however staff were super friendly, bed was comfy & room was clean! We felt safe, great location able to easily walk around Austin!

Pool wasn’t open

This is a perfectly good motel, like I have stayed at in many small towns in an unexpected location - pretty centrally located in Austin. I enjoyed my breakfast waffle and the eclectic people I dined with - a German who spoke excellent English and was studying Spanish (as I am); a British comedian who had chosen NYC, Austin, and LA to visit in the US (all internationally known for their comedy venues I learned); and a young man who builds hot rods.

Once I understood that this is a motel, rather than the much more expensive nearby hotels, I found little to dislike.

One: The hotel had waffles. Two: A lot of the reviews said it needed some repairs, which is true. The baseboard was messed up, and the paint chipped. DON NOT LET THAT STOP you from here. That is minor. Three: The shower had good pressure and was warm. Four: The room was clean. No bugs. No smell of smoke. Cleaner than most hotels. Five: The host were very nice. Six: They offered three beds!!!

The sitting area for breakfast is small, but it seems like people get food and go.

The motel was as expected, and the room was nice. The location is great and its very close to several interesting locations in Austin. Breakfast was small but had the basics and was restocked quickly, and staff was friendly.

The neighbours a couple of rooms down were smoking a lot of weed in the morning outside their room, and it stank a fair bit. They did try to hide behind some stairs but its a fairly noticeable odour. The walls of the room was also quite thin and you could hear the other people in the motel move around.

The room was clean and the staff was pleasant. For the price, the location was great. On Fridays and Saturdays after 9:00 p.m., the "action" in downtown Austin is centered around 6th Street and is walkable from the motel. It's maybe a ten-minute walk at a reasonable pace. Breakfast was available at the motel and I was surprised at its completeness--the best I've seen since covid came through. On the downside, it IS on I-35 and I-35 is a busy road. It can get noisy, but overall, it isn't bad.

It could use a brighter light for reading. And I couldn't get onto the internet (which may have been the fault of my computer).

I really appreciate and loved the customer service ❤️ I got from the girl who received me on Sunday and Monday she was the night manager for those two nights. I didn't get her name, but she greeted me with a whimsical smile a beautiful attitude and a true caring ❤️heart. Thank you for your excellent service! Thanks for all you do!

I didn't appreciate the unprofessionalism I heard on the phone today Tuesday, she definitely needs to get,at least some leadership skills, you do not question your co-worker's decision of why a decision was taken with the costumer on the phone you don't ever bash a member of your team,they are to valuable to try to question their judgment again with a customer on the phone.

Location, location, location. Hard to beat this place's location without spending a lot more money. I felt my room was clean and the bed comfortable-although I must admit I was quite tired when my head hit the pillow-speaking of pillows, there was a nice selection of them on each bed, from soft to firm.

I tried to tell them the coffee at breakfast was weak and not very hot-I couldn't see any steam coming up from the cup. I think they took care of the temperature but not the taste. I tried two little cups of whitener and two sugars, but that didn't help. I have had coffee at other motels, and I've never tasted anything as bad as theirs.

Great location, within walking distance to the downtown/Capitol building areas. It's not the most fancy place to stay, but honestly it works perfect if you're just looking for a place to stay for the night.Room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable. The wifi was actually decent. Plenty of onsite parking, at least when I was there. The staff were very fast at check-in and check out. Decently priced, especially if you book ahead.

The shower drain had to be positioned a certain way to drain, but I was able to make it work. Navigating the tv channels is is a bit annoying, but they have wifi and everyone has their devices now anyway, so not that big a deal. Also a heads up: they charge a $50 deposit on your card that you get back a few days after your stay.

I almost didn’t stay here for the bad reviews, but I’m glad I booked. Don’t expect a 5 star hotel, it’s 2 stars but a GREAT deal in downtown Austin. Breakfast was good enough, room has everything you need. It’s an old hotel and staff has no hospitality training, but it’s comfortable in a good location.

Staff obviously didn’t want to be there or help at all.
