The hostess was a very kind person and very understanding. Place was not up to parr. Too many roaches, when taking a shower the water would land outside the shower area, the room had several lamps that didn’t work, pretty okay place for the price to reach downtown Austin.

Balling on a budget
The room was dated but you can tell it’s under new ownership and they’re working to make improvements. The pool is out of commission so don’t be fooled. But the location is really convenient and the woman in the front office was super kind and always available. I was a little shocked at first by the condition of the property overall, but it was safe and the stay was fine. I would stay there again if I ever was looking for a budget room.

Terrible location right underneath the freeway, so quite loud. The floors, carpet, bathroom and walls were stained and dirty. Sheetrock falling off the walls, surfaces to countertops and in shower area were peeling off. Sheets felt stiff and didn’t smell great. Yes it was cheap. I wouldn’t stay here again. Not worth it.

There are roaches, as soon as we walked in. When I went to try to cancel the rest of my stay she came in and looked and killed it, flushed it and then said well it was only on 1 bed, we can still use the other. We left got an embassy suites down the road for about $30 more a night, but it was a great big clean room and a wonderful free breakfast. Save yourself the headache and just spend the little extra for a clean safe room

RUN!!
This place was AWFUL! Toilets didn't flush, bathrooms were falling apart, stains everywhere and bed linens were ripped. Had to have room changed due to plumbing issues and never got the full attention of the property manager who was on her cell phone the entire time. This place should be condemned, I cannot believe it is actually in business. Hotels.com should not be listing this as a viable stay option.

Run down
Cheap but still not good value. I’ve stayed in many motels across the USA and this is one of the worst. Only stayed as I though it was better than sleeping in the airport… I was better sleeping in the airport… Sheets had rips in, shower head hanging off the wall and bathroom flooring disintegrating. Very loud noise from the road outside, exasperated by an antique aircon unit. Obvious it’s not been updated for 25+ years and looks it. Not worth anyone’s money.
