    Our stay at the Scottish Inn in downtown Austin was extremely disappointing. I understand this is a budget hotel, but basic cleanliness, safety, and working amenities should still be expected. The toilet was ridiculously loud when flushing, yet somehow barely flushed anything at all, sometimes not flushing whatsoever. The shower constantly switched between hot and cold water. To make matters worse, there was a USED PIMPLE PATCH stuck to the wall. Clearly, cleaning isn’t a priority here. The office chair was broken, and when my boyfriend sat down, he nearly fell backward. The light near the desk was also constantly flickering. There was even a noticeable smell of gas in the front lobby, which was concerning. One evening, we returned from an outing to find three police cars blocking the entrance, which didn’t exactly make us feel comfortable. Breakfast was advertised online, but there was absolutely none available. The vending machines didn’t work either, meaning we had to go to the neighboring restaurant or gas station just to get drinking water or snacks. I wasn’t expecting a luxury hotel, but I certainly expected functioning plumbing, clean rooms, safe furniture, and the amenities advertised. Unfortunately, this place couldn’t even meet those basic standards. Save yourself the frustration and stay somewhere else.

    Upgraded bathroom fixtures, but not clean when arrived. Old style tub and shower. Weird TV backlight that can't be turned off and slow TV channel changes. Old style motel feel. Way overpriced for what is offered.

    The worst experience I’ve ever had! The cigarette smell was so strong that I could barely sleep. They don’t even provide a proper comforter, just a thin sheet. I honestly would not recommend this place to anyone. I feel like all my belongings absorbed that awful cigarette smell. Giving this place one star is already too generous for such a terrible experience! And to make matters worse, I only stayed for ONE night!

    My bed was infested with roaches although it appeared to be clean and made up. The room had a roach infestation. Apart from that, the rooms looked renovated, modern and good looking for the price.

    This place is awful. It looks nothing like the pictures and has a taqueria attached to it with bars on the windows. They refused to refund us When we tried to cancel and get a refund because we felt unsafe and the hotel pulling false advertising. There management and employees are rude. They had hookers in the parking lot. Do not stay here.

    They said the rooms were newly renovated. They also said it was nonsmoking but the room reeked of smoke. There were sketchy people walking all around the property. Stains on the bedding. We didn’t even stay. I felt very unsafe. We left and stayed at a different hotel.
