Econo Lodge Austin North near The Domain

I chose the hotel because I wanted an affordable place to stay for a couple of nights in the middle of the week. When I arrived, I was told my room was on the second floor, which would have been fine if there had been an elevator. There wasn't. So they tucked me into a first-floor room around the corner from the parking lot and practically under the stairs. It was okay, except that 1) I discovered a small bug in my bed; 2) there was no shower mat and while washing up I worried about slipping and getting injured; 3) the "free breakfast" was only available until 9 a.m. and I'm a late sleeper. My first morning there, I had to walk to a nearby 7-11 to buy something. My second morning, I arrived in time, but all I found were a few sausages, some slices of bread that needed to be toasted, waffles that you needed to cook yourself, and too little jam for the toast. No milk or juice, either.

The location

This hotel is close to 183 in North Austin. The guests were mostly construction workers. It was convenient for getting a nights rest

Nothing it was disgusting, didn’t get a refund Everything and being disrespectful

The hotel had poor lighting, and I almost slipped in the bathtub.

Good

We really enjoyed staying here and will be booking again this weekend.

We arrived very late or should I say early in the morning around 2 am. Very tired, room did not smell, the bathroom was very clean and the bed was very comfortable, slept very well. The price is very good. Staff was very nice.

The room wasn't cleaned everyday.

I have to travel to Austin every 21 days for Chemo and for other Dr appts. My husband and I come up the day before and stay at Econolodge. It is clean, quiet and staff is very friendly. It is perfect for our needs

It was ok

Great for the price. Will stay again

Didn’t eat

Front desk was amazing and helped us! Will be coming back

Disappointing

It was absolutely false advertising the nastiest place that I have been in a very long time. The guy was rude and I did not sleep all night because I was scared to get in the bed.

There was no regular bread when I got there at 9 AM on a Saturday. There were problems with WiFi. The inside lighting was awful and I could hear the traffic from inside my bedroom, including a car screech on brakes that woke me up mid-sleep. The only saving grace was HBO.

The fact that the deposit was almost double the rate for 2 nights. They alow pets but it's apparently a $40 fee & $40 deposit so keep that in mind. & the fact that it takes 10 business days for the deposit to return seems kinda sketchy.

Non smoking room was horrible! We couldn’t breathe with the smoke penetrating the room. We stayed 15 min and left to find another hotel. Clerk was nice but room was horrible. Pictures were not what actual room was.

A

More attention needs to paid to cleanliness.

We stayed at the king bed accessible suite and The room was perfectly clean and accessible bathroom - only complaint is there was no door for the bathroom/toilet just a curtain and the water pressure in shower was very bad. Besides that great cheap stay

The hotel itself was fine. The staff was rude. Rude staff

Small tv ?

.

Went to take a shower seemed like no water pressure had to hold handle up to rinse off. No coffee maker couch was so old no padding

Toilet was loosev and wobbling, also the door was dragging on top , base tile need some work.

The bathroom vent/light/fan is open, rusty and has spray foam insulation sticking out. The toilet seat was loose and would shift sideways. The vanity light has no cover. The bathmat was stained. The sheets and bed cover had stains. Otherwise, the room was clean and neat.

Room was clean. Staff was friendly.

Run down. Had to change rooms due to odor. Sketchy neighborhood. No turn down service.

Easy check in and out, friendly staff, nice clean rooms. Great price

Friendly management

I didn’t expect much and got exactly what I expected.

Good

Was in town for the weekend with my kids. I always look for a hotel with a breakfast for my kids. This breakfast pictured and the actual breakfast are not the same. Only coffee, sausage and waffles. No juice, no water, no milk/cereal. Not ideal for kids. When housekeeping "cleaned" our room, it was subpar. They took the dirty towels but didnt leave clean ones. Beds were old and not comfy by no means. I guess for the price it is ok, but wouldnt stay again.

Room smelled like cigarettes, incredibly dirty couch and floors. Dusty, toilet made a strange flushing sound.

The breakfast was delicious

smelly and hot and gross!

This hotel is a bit dated but it was clean and comfortable during my stay. Having a hot breakfast was nice too so I would stay here again.

The property is good for the price it is offered on. The room was a bit dim and dated but is good value for money. the staff was good and helpful

Comfortable

There was a guy who was banging my door when I said them it is ok if my vacatting time is over but he keep on banging my door when i was in office. I had already informed them that I will be extending my stay. Misbehaviour and he was in angry mood

It's the kind of place where construction workers stay for a month. It's very run down, but it was clean, the bed was comfortable, and I didn't feel unsafe. The breakfast was just okay. The light over the sink didn't work and the toilet didn't work too well.

Mgr./owner? Patel charged extra 151. To my crew mgr. we had 2 rooms, 2 double beds for 4 guys for 7 days. He said we had 4 guys in one room and charged us for the 2 extra guys in one room. ? Makes no sense. This guy is trying to rip off customers. I’m still expecting this to be refunded. Hotels. Com how about helping out

Nice staff

Bad Experience. I will never go back to this place ever again!!!

Ive stayed in econolodge before so i was a bit disappointed when the hotel had no pool and the breakfast was sausage and waffles…

All is clean there but be careful because homeless people tend to be near

Worst hotel

Wear shoes in the room, my son was walking around room in socks & his socks were black as night when we went to take them off. Room smelt like urine. Sign was about to fall apart. Toilet & toilet seat was about to fall over. Pictures on website are overrated.

Gap under the door was big enough for a cat or any sized rodents to join ya in bed.

It was a nice lodge loved the pictures especially the one Welcome to Austin. Near a great seafood place hook and reel and Jim's home cooking. Good pricing for 3 nights. Would definitely go back if going to Austin. Wish I had some photos would share them

Nothing

I did not read reviews before booking this hotel which is a mistake I will NEVER make again. I checked in about 3:30 and went into my room where I ate something. Afterwards, I went into the restroom and there was mold on the ceiling. When I raised the concern with front desk staff I was told “it’s impossible for there to be mold but I will come look” the manager entered my room and said that it was just mildew and he could paint over it to kill it. At this point he said that he would come finish the PAINTING OVER IT in the morning without offering to move me to another room despite my telling him that I am highly allergic to both mold and mildew and there were now paint fumes in my room. Later I began having an allergic reaction so I called and asked to be moved to a different room (not even requesting an upgrade). I was laughed at and hung up on. About 30 minutes later just after 7:30 PM, they called me and gave me an ultimatum: stay to be dealt with in the morning OR check out and leave the premises. I chose the latter because I was already having an allergic reaction and I did not want to end up in the hospital. This morning when I contacted Expedia to process my refund they contacted him and he changed his story, now saying it was just a stain and not mold or mildew at all. When I called the front desk to complain he told me “If you are so allergic to mold and mildew you should just stay home instead of going to hotels” before very abruptly hanging up on me.

Staff was friendly, rooms clean, and the one time I had trouble getting back in my room, they were quick to help me get my card swapped

If you are looking for a cheap room in Austin, go with this place. It is decent. Not a great neighborhood, but the parking lot is fairly secure, they actually serve you a breakfast in the morning, and the staff is friendly. It is decently clean. This is a dive motel, but it is best in class for Austin.

Definitely a no-frills Motel. It was convenient to our activity in Austin. The room and bathroom were clean. The beds were comfortable however, the pillows seemed well worn and flat and uncomfortable. Price was reasonable.

Bugs everywhere, not a clean facility, walls are paper thin. Staff is not friendly. If you don't mind staying in an unkept property

The outside looks very rundown. And lots of people hanging outside, looked very sketchy. The room looked renovated but I saw a bug on the bed. We immediately left and went back to ask for a refund but we were told it was too late. We didn’t feel safe staying there just I was ok with losing my money.

The room was old, there were permanent stains on the door frames, the toilet seat had burn marks even though it's a non smoking room. The sheets were clean and the A/C worked fine. Not worth the price

The floor was extremely dirty seem like it was swept but not mopped. Multiple stains on the walls and some of the sheets you only get two pillows and they're very flat. Bedding was very warm but with weak AC you don't need to use all of them. Speaking of AC, they probably should clean the filter. It look like a rug sitting on top of it. Same goes for bathroom fan, toilet and tub was clean. Water pressure was nice. Decent hot water

One hour after we checked in, the owner informed us that on our second day of stay there would be no electricity at the hotel for five hours. They refused to change our booking or to give us a refund. We checked out of the hotel right away anyways. Seriously not worth it. There are much better hotels at the same price range in Austin. They’re probably not going to return our deposit too. Avoid this place!

Poor location to get in and out from. Near Interstate Highway

Smelled pot everyday, I’m allergic to the smell and the material! The management didn’t care, the female manager asked me if I put everything back and the room was cleaned. Like how rude!!!! The breakfast was horrible, the waffles are great but the sausage was awful, hard and over cooked!!

The hotel is full of people who are partying all night and the management is absolutely horrible.

The hotel is terrible room sofa was disgusting tore floor from room and bathroom was not clean odor was horrible bedding was ? Washed and wrinkle

just 1 bad towel that should no longer be in given to guests

Wonderful place

Staff very respectful and friendly

It was noisier than expected. My bad on choosing near interstate. Front desk clerks were all great.

As soon as we got there we wanted to cancel our stay go somewhere nicer but we couldn’t cause we missed the deadline for a refund, the room they had put us in originally was dirty, hot as hell, and had a smell in there that smelled like hot wood and paint, you could see where they painted over the wall with different color paint on the walls, you could also see a paint bubble the size of a tv from the paint not being applied correctly, and the ac unit was blowing hot air, had asked for a new room and we got moved to a cleaner room with a working ac unit and cleaner walls, I also had a friend come pick me up and they had been swatted by people staying there or people around there, if I were able to I would have cancelled my room and spent the extra money staying somewhere nicer, the pictures on the app were nothing to how it actually looks like.

The room was clean and very comfortable. It was excellent value for the price. The exterior is aging and it is not at attractive place from the outside. Staff was great. I left my credit card in the payment device by accident - and within five minutes the desk clerk personally brought it to my room. THANKS PERLA The free breakfast was not exciting - ther was coffee to drink, some pastries and an excellent waffle machine. There was sausage too. The neighborhood was kind of depressing - lots of not attractive small businesses. I think I more than got my moneys worth.

Goid value for money ut noy the best location. A bit rundown

Never there

The security swing bar lock was broken. Tiles were peeling off the wall behind the toilet. In general the property has aged and is in desperate need of complete overhaul, not a face lift.

Great for a football weekend.

Extremely rude hoteliers. No facilities. Broken coffee machines. The doors lockout every 24hours. Horrible management. Best to take it off your list. This place is terrible rundown and broken furniture.

It's mediocre but for the price I am not surprised. The room was spacious and had a fridge and microwave. There is visible wear and tear all around especially in the bathroom. Shower head was terrible and lacked pressure. It was likely because it was spraying out the side as it wasn't installed properly. The bed was comfortable but the linens not the nicest looking. The dog from other reviews is still on or near the property and barked both nights of my stay. I was able to sleep through it but light sleepers will have a difficult time I would imagine. Location is nice because there are food options within walking distance.

Room was clean, tv, Fridge, microwave all worked, bed was comfortable the restroom light was kinda sketch and the people next to my room too but other than that I think it was a good hotel

Just went to sleep didn’t really get to check the area out

The blanket was stained in multiple places Breakfast was very limited

it was a great stay!

It was really nice and quiet

Ok

We had booked 4 rooms via hotels.com. When we arrived we had a family emergency and wasnt aloud to cancel. When it came to paying, yet again another problem. We had to pay separately, when we had booked together. They were gracious enough to give us an hour after checkout. The overall experience was just awkward and unpleasant between waiting for manager to respond to front desk clerk to everything else

The room was large & it looked OK but the vibe is pretty sketchy. The couch was stained; I didn't even go near it. The bed looked clean but there was an odd smell in the room, like old dog pee & feet. I didn't plan to spend too much time in the room just to sleep which I didn't do a whole bunch of. Between being stressed & uncomfortable, I only got a couple of hours each night. My service dog was freaked out by this place too. She kept acting strange when we would walk to our room. The shower was nice, hot & had good pressure. The TV worked, which was nice. Most of the plugs didn't work, the door to the bathroom was stingy & look gross & the front door was difficult to open & close. I had to body slam it in order for it to shut. The noises that came from the bathroom sounded like someone was trying to get in. But I think the worst part was the fact that the bed made me itchy. I didn't see any bedbugs so I'm hoping there weren't any.

Friendly helpful staff. Clean and safe for a single parent with a child to stay.

Very clean for a bargain hotel. Good A/C. Clean bedding.

The place needs a good pressure wash bed sheets are stained, including the towels.

Roaches and leaking A/C.

It was a great price and good location. The inside was pretty clean. We had a great time and I felt safe with just me and my kiddos. We had Texas shaped waffles everyday!

This place is wild. Lock your door at night.

Rundown.

…

Good value

Check in was easy and Sunny was great! The rooms are really spacious with wood floorings. The beds are sooooo comfy and feels like you’re on a cloud!

Nothing

The bedding had stains and the pillows were flat. Otherwise our stay was pleasant.

I don't know how unsafe it was but the vibe wasn't great. I had room 120 which faces the street and is exceptionally noisy. The other rooms may be better, I don't know. The internet did not work for us at all.

Great! Clean and professional. Just wish the breakfast had more options, like eggs maybe. Everything else was perfect! 9.9/10

The desk clerk was very helpful. The rooms was clean and comfortable. The property was a little run down and not in the best area.

Horrible experience at this hotel. I couldn’t even stay I just left. Nothing like the pictures

To old and humidity in the room. Its need a remodelation! The personnel was gentle and friendly

Motel is old and beat. The area is ok to find food and gas. The motel itself has seen it's days. They are trying to give it better look in pictures. First the room door needs to be forced open and closed, it maybe just my room. The rust in tub drain and toilet very ugly. Toilet dances with your movement. A lot of damage on doors and walls and ugly patches. Staff were nice. The breakfast is really a joke and maybe just to fool people by saying a breakfast included. The breakfast is only waffle, sausage, and few slices of bread. Nothing else beside artificial juice and bad coffee. Oh maybe some tea bags....

I will not be back.

Booked the room through hotels. Com for $76. When I got to the hotel he tried to charge me an extra $200 for a deposit. No where on my conformation did it state that. I tried to explain that to him and he kept pulling up a website that wasn’t who I booked with. I left and booked somewhere else.

The staff was very helpful and the motel was clean. It is a neighborhood where there are quite a few homeless people and it did not feel comfortable even going out to the car at night. The lights were good though and none of the cars were bothered overnight. On Expedia we mentioned that we had a cat. When we got to the motel there was a substantial additional charge. It would have been useful to know that before hand.

Was very discriminatory against my employees, would not recommend if you’re on a business trip.
