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.

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.

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

DONT STAY HERE!
Rooms were not cleaned on a daily basis. Rooms are nothing as in the photos. Room smelled dirty. Swimming pool was filthy. When checking out, the attendant was very rude. There were stains on the sheets.
Stains on the carpet.  I had to spray the room down to get it smell pleasant.

Dishonest business
These idiots said they were going to put a hold on my credit card. This "hold" turned into a posted charge which I did not authorize. After calling numerous times for the return of my money these morons gave me only $40 of my $50 saying I stole a towel from the room. These people are very dishonest and will NEVER do business with them again. Will be contacting my credit card company to start a dispute.

I had to put down a fifty dollar deposit. that I was not aware. No breakfast, which didn't matter, I was going for tests and could not have food or drink after midnight. Toilet bowl did not have a lid. There was only one small container of shampoo, no other soaps at all. Bathtub did not have any non-slip protection or any other protection from falling. It was convenient to where I was going.

The desk service was good, the place itself is what you would expect. Its just a cheap place to stay. Don't expect any cleaning of your room or a pool you would want to go into.
