Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Good informative service, the room was fine and clean, the bed was on wheels and would pull away from the wall, given the room layout and design it appears it used to have a king mattress but has since been downgraded to a queen . This led to the room feeling bare with just a table and two chairs. A small coach would have been nice to have since there was plenty of space available. Location seemed kinda sketch , but stayed in worse ,we still felt safe in the area. We were able to see plenty of Austin from this location being semi central Not bad for the price per night. Side note the "hot breakfast" was nothing more than a Texas shaped waffle , the only options available was cold cereal . Pretty limited.”
“Cathy and All The staff are excellent. Dont let the 3 star fool you. They are 4.5 to 5.0 all day! i stay in hotels 125 plus days annually and rarely if ever do a review. They were so wonderful i had to shout it out. And David the security guard keeps place safe with a kind but firm presence the 3 stars is.not fair this is 4.5 all day”
