    Es la primera vez que dejo un comentario negativo. Voy a empezar por la cama. Estaba muy dura el pasillo del hotel. Olía bastante mal a humedad. El desayuno estaba fatal. El huevo estaba crudo. Tenía bastante agua. Las papas estaban muy duras. Le pregunté a la señorita que si estaban listas, ella dijo que sí, y que si estaban duras, tenía que meterlas yo al microondas para que se ablandaran cuando llegamos. El muchacho que nos recibió no nos saludó todo estuvo mal la verdad no no le doy ningún buen comentario y solamente leí dos estrellas, pero no volveré a quedarme en este hotel. No lo recomiendo y hay bastantes homeless afuera del hotel y alrededor

    Everything looked very nice and presentable. Only thing was the TV was a bit dated and all the HDMI port were disabled. I could use the TV for a travel computer or a streaming device I would have with me.

    First of all, this place is an utter scam. The managers are thieves and basically lied and wouldn’t change my reservation one day later because my flight was cancelled. They jumped at the opportunity to take my money for 1.5 nights and make me pay $240 for 33 hours in the hotel (as opposed to 3 full days). They are scumbags. Also, the hotel is dirty and the breakfast looks like it was from a horror movie in the 90’s. Think: Texas chainsaw massacre meets the grinch’s school lunch. I would not recommend staying here.

    Not one thing was positive about this stay This was easily one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had, and I travel often enough to have stayed in plenty of hotels over the years. The mattresses were so thin and uncomfortable that getting a decent night’s sleep was nearly impossible. The hotel keeps the building extremely hot, and the air conditioning in the room barely worked, making an already miserable stay even worse. The pool was unacceptable. The water was murky, and parts of the pool surface were damaged with sections missing, leaving rough and sharp areas exposed. It looked poorly maintained and did not feel safe or inviting. The location was also very misleading. The hotel is tucked behind a gas station in an industrial area, and there were multiple homeless individuals outside the property. There was constant activity and noise outside throughout the night, making it difficult to relax or feel comfortable. The biggest disappointment, however, was the customer service. The manager was rude, unprofessional, and more focused on finding ways to charge extra fees than providing hospitality. I was told I would be charged additional fees for my daughter, who was simply waiting for a 2 a.m. flight. This made no sense considering I had rented a room with two queen beds and a pull-out couch, and not all of my children were even staying overnight or eating breakfast. For the price charged, the condition of the property, the uncomfortable rooms, the poorly maintained amenities, the questionable location, and the lack of professionalism from management are completely unacceptable. There are far better options available. Save yourself the frustration and stay somewhere else.

    If you are looking for a less expensive hotel, and you don’t care what is in the area around you, this is a great place. The staff was always smiling and rooms were clean. However, it wasn’t really near anything as far as walking distance. Also, the free breakfast every morning was nowhere near fancy if that’s what attracts you. It was extremely minimal. The gym also left a lot to be desired. It just depends on what you were looking for when you come to Austin. If you’re looking for a non-expensive hotel and you’re just going to take Ubers and get away from the area, then it’s great. If you’re looking for something, a little fancier, this won’t be for you. I’d stay again if the former was my reasoning for Austin.

    We chose this hotel because it was close to the Sips & Sounds Music Festival. We saw the good reviews but were surprised to see the hotel in bad quality. Specifically, the room. The walls were so thin. We heard the couple next to us having sex that lasted 30 minutes. We went to see if the front desk could ask them to keep it down, mainly because it sounded like the woman was dying from her screams. He told us if it continues for 20 minutes, he will do something. When I came back to the room, the man finished a few minutes later. As well, our room was oddly situated right outside the front lobby. It just seemed so close to everyone. For a cheap hotel, go here. But if you want somewhere better, look elsewhere.

    If they give you a room on the second floor, demand to be moved. The owner lives on the south end of the 2nd floor. Rude man. Gave me and my partner dirty looks in the parking lot when we were coming back from our dinner date. Our room was next to his, and he made his employee call our room while we were trying to sleep. I've stayed here twice now, and he's always been unpleasant. Last time, I booked directly with Choice and he refused to give me the bonus points I was entitled to as an elite member. He lied that he would make the change in the system. He's lucky I couldn't leave a medallia review for his behavior.
