The motel had a perfect location close to the University campus and also reasonable rates. Room 210 had a valve problem with the cold water at the bathroom sink. The flow was very slow. Overall, a good stay with reasonable rates.

Motel is quite old. This is the cheapest option i could find to stay close to downtown. You get what you paid. I could not connect for some reason to wi Fi. Parking is free so that is a plus and TV has great channels. I struggle to communicate properly with personnel

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.

Close to stadium; keep expectations low

We had 3 rooms. 215 and 219 had leaky bathtubs. The door to the 3rd floor room was open when we arrived. All 3 rooms had an uncomfortable smell (almost like clay). 219 also had a moldy shower curtain, two of the lights didn’t work and the deadbolt didn’t lock. The only reason we stayed there was that it was walking distance from the stadium.

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.
