    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Everything is poorly maintained, stairwell smelled like urine, random graffiti on the walls. When I entered the room and turned on the lights, saw a couple bugs scurry away from the sink. Same thing in the bathroom, bugs scurrying away from the toilet. The air conditioning unit had mold visibly growing in it, and I had to turn it off because I could feel my throat becoming irritated by mold spores/mycotoxins in the air. A person with mold sensitivities could have been significantly harmed by that level of exposure.
