Full of cockroaches. The room was super dirty and had fecal matter on the toilet seats, with multiple cockroaches. After complaining multiple times, the hotel staff did not accommodate. Would not recommend staying at all.

You definitley get what u pay for. Avoided the massive upcharge for F1 wkd, however I would pay anything other than staying here. $20 for earlier check, place could have accomadated for the condition of his hotel. Room had a gross smell, everything was dirty, I thought I was in a third world country. I barely slept. Slept on towels and did not use the sheet. kept lights on, had eye mask. Never again.

The room was extremely stinky, as if everything was cleaned using a single cloth like same cloth for toilet and whole room. There was dead rat smell near the sink which made it unbearable to stand and use it. Also the air conditioning didn’t work, furniture was broken and bedsheets weren’t clean.
- 1/5
Don't try and ck in before 3p or you will get yelled at. The tub had hair in it, there was dead cockroach on the floor and we found 2 bed bugs on the comforter. Toilet seat was broken, ceiling was pealing, tub handle came off in my hand and the inside of the microwave stunk and was caked with old dried food. It was discussing. By far the worst hotel I have even stayed in

Honestly, the room was so much better than the last time I stayed here. The room was clean, the air conditioner worked properly, my door had all locks present+functional, the bathroom even clean enough that I was able to take a nice long relaxing bath . There was no drain stopper for the bathtub, but I'm resourceful and just used one of the extra bags from the trashcan The room didn't have any particularly offensive odors, the fridge was pretty clean, and the bed was sufficiently comfortable. Unfortunately, immediately upon exiting my vehicle to check in I did spy with my little eye a hypodermic syringe or two just laying on the ground in the parking lot right next to the office. After checking in I moved my vehicle to the parking spot in front of my room. It was was at the very end of the building, right by the dumpster, which 2 men were verymeticulously digging through. There was a staircase directly next to my room which definitely creeped me out as it was completely pitch dark, and that's really saying something as I do not scare easily and am a card carrying (and concealed carrying) NRA member.

Unbelievable

The sheets were clean and the ac worked which is the only reason I gave this place stars. They aren't cleaning the area around the toilet on the floor so it smelled terrible, urine was very visible. The ceiling above the shower was completely falling apart and had mold. The toilet wouldn't flush very well. There was broken glass on the floor so I was afraid to take my shoes off. The comforter had huge burn holes all over it. The TV didn't work. I'm never staying here again.
- 1/5
My room was infested with roaches. The toilet was broken in half, the blanket had blood on it, I arrived back to the hotel after a night out on sixth street in downtown Austin and when I got back to the Village Motor Inn at 3am it was so infested with roaches that I just drove 2.5 hours straight back to Houston.

The room was very clean and had very nice room. Staff at the motel was very helpful, despite my very poor understanding of what was said. Overall good experience.

El cuarto era una porquería, fue una experiencia desastrosa , las fotos que publican no se asemejan nada a la realidad, mi habitación tenía más de 100 cucarachas, incluso cuando trataba de dormir salían cucarachas en la cama, el techo del baño se agrietó y empezó a caer un líquido que espero halla sido agua, si pueden nunca se queden aquí a menos que estén dispuestos a ser mordidos por una cucaracha y les salgan ronchitas como me salieron a mí .

The walls had holes and there were markings on the walls like spray paint. The room smelled like stale smoke even though it was non-smoking. There was a toothpick in my bed that I found after I'd slept in it and there were bugs in the bathroom. Staff was nice enough and the bed was good, as was the a/c.

Room was very unclean.
- 1/5
Rooms disgustingly dirty. Indian guy running the building made me leave from 11-3 for 4 hours after I extended another 2 nights and I was trying to explain how I stayed at at 50+ hotels and never had to check and and come back. He said I was wasting his time and yelling at me and when I came back he put me in a different room when I could’ve just stayed in the same room like every other hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I stepped on a sharp object so don’t walk barefoot in there and there was blood and god knows what else was all over the walls. Pillows were as thin as my wallet. Parking was fine bc no one was there probably dude to the behavior of owner and lack of cleanliness. The bed you could just feel springs no mattress and woke up with severe back pain. I HIGHLY recommend staying away from this motel. It’s cheap but pay 20$ more and get a nice motel. Worst experience in Austin I’ve ever had
- 4/5
Good decent place for the price. Great location in south austin yet near Don town aswell

Upon arrival, I observed roaches and a cracked toilet, among other issues that negatively impacted the habitability of the unit. As a result, I am requesting a full refund for my stay. I have video evidence documenting the condition of the property and can provide this documentation upon request. I respectfully ask that Expedia review this matter promptly and process a refund based on the conditions encountered. If you are submitting this directly to Expedia, I can also make it more assertive and consumer-rights focused while remaining professional.

Mold growing on ac. Mold on bathroom towels. Bathroom floor dirty. Broken sink and tub. And the room smelled. Horrible. Staff does speak English well. The worst experience ever.

The first time I checked in was wonder the lady was very friendly and helpful but the second time was actually a nightmare not only did I lose 94.00 but I lost the room because they wanted a 50.00 deposit which I did not have when I asked where it said I needed a deposit was a small printed paper than no one would see if they have bad eye sight. You should take the off immediately

This place is the worst place to stay at. Not higyenic at all. Barely any service and super rude people. The place it’s nasty and smells bad. There was even blood marks in the floor. The towels were dirty and no security at all. When checkout was close the recepcionist opened our room door without any permission while we were in bed still. He was literally screaming at me telling me to get out already. DONT STAY HERE.
- 1/5
This place is the worst. I stayed there maybe an hour after checking in. I was walking to the bathroom and where the carpet meets the tile stepped on a nail or staple and punctured my foot the bathroom had mold all over the place.
- 1/5
The toilet seat was broken. The sink was broken. The carpet was dirty and full of hair! The walls were dirty—smeared with food, I think! The microwave was filthy; it even had spoons left inside. The drawers were disgusting and also contained spoons. The lamps were all rusted and covered in grime, and the curtains reeked of cigarette smoke. The bathroom towels were of very poor quality and stained. The bedding smelled terrible, and the sheets were stained. The internet wasn't working. The hot water in the shower didn't get hot enough. And the showerhead sprayed water everywhere, soaking the entire bathroom floor! The refrigerator didn't cool sufficiently; our drinks stayed warm. And the air conditioner was very noisy and didn't cool the room enough! I complained to the staff and voiced my grievances, but they offered no solution. They told me I could go to another hotel if I didn't like this one, but that they could not issue a refund—and that they didn't have any other rooms available anyway! I believe this hotel does not meet the necessary standards to provide hospitality services! A horrible experience. I always book my hotels through Expedia, and I have never—ever—had such an outrageously bad experience as this one!

The room had a terrible mode problem. The first room they tried to put us in. They were kind of rude when it came down to understanding my frustrations honestly charge for a $50 deposit that should not have been charged if you ask me with the conditions of the room overall I have no idea how they’re still open.

This is not suppose to be used, very dangerous, the whole place is falling apart and nothing I mean nothing is clean. Got sick from molds, cuz the whole place is to be tear down. Just stay in your car if that's the last place.

They took my money and made me pay for a deposit then keep me out a hour later because I had a guest over and then still called the cops on me and Expedia refused to help me in anyway I would never rent a room from them both Expedia or village motor inn.

When we went to our room, it smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. The bed sheets had cigarette burn holes, there were hairs on the toilet seat, the sink was broken, and there was dust everywhere. It was clearly not cleaned properly. After we complained, they reluctantly agreed to change our room, but the staff seemed annoyed by the request. The second room was slightly better, but still far from acceptable. It was still dirty, and the sheets had an unpleasant odor, almost like urine. Overall, this was a very poor experience, and I would not recommend staying here.

The absolute worse place to stay full of homeless and problematic people coming and going in and out of property all the time, up until 3:00 am in the morning

Don't stay here. Everything about this place is disgusting. EVERY SINGLE THING IS DISGUSTING. The manager, the property, the other people staying there, the room, the smell, the walls, the bugs, the hair everywhere, the stains, the shredded cheese in the already slept in sheet. And they force you to sign a paper saying there are no refunds no matter what. DO. NOT. STAY. HERE.

Heat and ac worked which was a pleasant surprise. No blanket. Just 2 sheets. Tv was over the air not cable. Ceiling was falling apart. Stuff from previous resident left in drawers. Broken glass all over outside the room. Black out blinds were decent. Hot water was sporadic. 50 dollar deposit was refunded quickly. Holes in doors. Door lock was broken. To make it worse as we were leaving we watched the guy from the front desk go in our room and remade the bed with the same bedding we had just used (unwashed). We have stayed here before. They do have rooms in better condition. Also worse. Stayed a couple years ago and microwave and fridge and heat did not work and they did not help me out. But this time seemed better. Until watching the bed made reusing my sheets I would have still stayed again.

Yes very very upset! I was placed on the 3rd floor in a stinky dirty room,, I asked for non smoking and got a smoking room. It was horrible

Fast check in and check out. Room had all light fixtures working just needed an additional bulb above bathroom sink. I love that the room had a microwave and mini fridge that worked properly. The complex was very quiet and 3 minutes away from transit bus stops. Cornerstore was next door along with a restaurant.
