Super 8 by Wyndham Austin North/University Area

Good for money

Very cheap and basic but a comfortable clean place to stay. Good value, though room smelled a bit funny. Nice quiet place for a couple hours before heading into the city.

Very basic, neighborhood a bit sketchy, and breakfast was a joke.

Dirty & rude

Nothing!

Popcorn, bottle caps, trash in the room. The beds were like boards. Super hard. Condom packages all over the parking lot. Mary at the desk was rude and incompetent.

Rates were pretty cheap, staff was very nice.

Facility is old and not well kept up. Definitely in need of renovation. Area surrounding is not great, as an example, the parking lot is fenced in and there are security patrols at night time. In addition, the main lobby entrance is closed at night and a side one requiring card access is the only one open. Hallways had musty smell, rooms were slightly better. Bathrooms showed their age (peeling paint, gaps in the shower stall), though were generally clean. 1 of 3 bath towels was extremely dirty, like someone used it then put it back and it never got changed. Overall would only stay here in the future if budget was primary concern, otherwise would pay more to stay somewhere nicer.

room was clean but did have a weird smell. also, the 15% tax added onto the bill at checkout didn't make as good of a deal than I initially thought.

the only problem we had is that when you book a room on line and request a non smoking room they do not guarentee it and we ended up with one, the hotel would not change it. We are not smokers and it was not a pleasant experience sleeping in that type of room.

Women walking across the street. Add protein to breakfast.

I liked that the room was clean.

I thought the room was a bit shabby. A light bulb didn't work and I removed it and put it in an ashtray hoping they would take the hint and replace it. Three days later it was still in the ashtray.
