Austin Motellit

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: A/C unit couldn’t keep the room cool during the day and struggled at night. Toilet leaked and ran constantly. Tub looked dirty. I don’t know how this hotel ranks an average of 7 out of 10.

Plussat: This was the cheapest accommodation available during graduation weekend. we still paid over 140 dollars a night. this is a motel where the rooms exit outside and you pay a fellow sitting behind bullet proof glass. Don't expect the Ritz. That said, everything was reasonably clean, the king size bed was just fine, and everything worked inside the room other than the lock on the door that seem to stick a bit, but that wasn't that big of a deal.

Plussat: Quiet, good location near interesting food places, cafes and bars. Friendly staff. Price.

Miinukset: Small

Miinukset: Its not a value for money stay

Plussat: Price

Miinukset: Makes sense how cheap it is. Between the random drifters and the cigerette burns in the blanks and desk, you get what you paid for. Drop another $15 and reasonable to stay there. And get stab insurance.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Staff that checked me in were very nice. The beds were comfortable.

Miinukset: No baby roaches in the rest room area and staff could be a little quicker when checking guests in and also if 1 person is busy, by all means the other personnel should quickly come in to provide relief and check guests in a timely manner.

Plussat: The location was the only good thing.

Miinukset: Rooms where too small. Had to pay for WiFi with a prepaid card, but they had sold out. Bathroom was gross, shower had no water pressure. Ice machine didn't work. We will definitely not be staying there again.

Plussat: Mattress was slanted

Plussat: Friendly Staff! I was greeted instantly and my room was ready right away. The room was clean and the ac kept the room very cool. It was close to UT and the highway. I will definitely stay here again.

Plussat: Nice Location, reasonable price. Clean.

Miinukset: Internet didn't work for our entire stay. Cable also went in and out. Pillows lumpy.

Plussat: Convenient with a family member in the hospital. Staff was very nice. Lots of easy parking.

Miinukset: Room was not clean - there was a definite odor. Fortunately the linens and towels were clean.

Plussat: Room was clean, bed was comfy, breakfast was good value.

Plussat: Price

Miinukset: You get what you pay for

Plussat: The front desk clerk Ms Gonzalez who was very customer focused

Miinukset: Personally I wish I could have stayed in room longer than the 11sm check out. That is company policy.

Plussat: The inside was clean and the free breakfast was great.

Miinukset: The outside is so sketch. Definitely looks like Bates Motel but the inside makes up for it.

Miinukset: Bugs got in the room.

Plussat: James, the courteous, helpful night staffer was wonderful. Even brought me a bike tire pump. Pretty room decor upon first appearance. Nicely updated, uncluttered design. Housekeeping management Maria did come to the room, and was very sweet and surprised by the bug issues.

Miinukset: Not joking. I awoke to 3-4 small and medium ROACHES + 1 small flying insect appearing between 2AM and 6AM, coming out in all different areas of this otherwise lovely looking room. Still cannot Believe it, but my pics confirm. Of course, I could not sleep in as originally planned and Had to vacate immediately/early before my full paid-for time. Feared for a while that bugs may have gotten into my belongings/suitcase. Could not afford any insects to appear during my business conference that day. Still shocked and grossed out. Have Never seen this before. Disappointed that I was lulled into a false sense of security by the remodeled look of room. Though I sprayed everything with Lysol disinfectant before falling asleep, as my momma taught me, I actually slept there. Did not discover a problem until I awoke about 2AM. Still can't shake how bold and comfortable these bugs were with light and humans. Manager did say I would receive a refund. When I inquired, he then offered a 50% discount on my next stay. (Wait for that.) He simply did not seem surprised. I am still waiting for refund past the 3-5 biz days he said it takes. Would have been best to refund me instantly, even if cash.

Miinukset: Everything you could imagine was dirty, from the bathroom with black mold in it to the sheets and pillow cases with someones hair and makeup stains. The mattress was wallowed out in the middle, the bottom sheet wasn't fitted and was to small to be tucked in

Plussat: location cheap

Miinukset: internet cannot be connected

Plussat: The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Noise, both because of the thinness of walls resulting in the noise and the highway.

Plussat: Good value for money; very friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: Some rooms do not have windows. Breakfast is very basic (no meat or cheese, for example)

Plussat: Fair staff, near 24 hour restaurant, comfy bed

Miinukset: It is near the highway, so if you are bothered by sirens, try another hotel

Plussat: Rooms excellent for the price. On par with much much more expensive rooms elsewhere.

Miinukset: A bit of a walk from University campus (I had business at the AT&T Conference center) and 6th street (heart of downtown) rather far away

Plussat: Room quality, cleanness, location

Miinukset: The hotel is located close to the highway, so there is quite noisy even during the night

Miinukset: This place needs to be inspected by the health department because the room was fithy, everything you touch was sticky. Wr wanted a none smoking room but the room we were in smells like smoke. The AC was not working, they have a ceiling fan. I am.writing their corporate office.

Plussat: NOTHING ABOUT THE STAY AT ALL NO HELP FROM THE FRONT DESK THERE SHOULD BE A SECURITY GUARD PATROLLING THE AREA,

Miinukset: ROOMS HAD A BAD ODER PEOPLE PARTING TILL 4:30 IN THE MORNING PLAYING VERY LOUD MUSIC ALSO FIGHTING AND YELLING GOING ON DRUG USE GOING ON OUTSIDE I WILL NEVER PUT MY FAMILY THROUGH THAT AGIAN.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. Room was dirty. Electrical outlet hanging out of the wall. The pictures on the website look nothing like the hotel itself. Holes in the bedspread. The furniture looked like something from a garage sale. I have see better looking rooms on an episode of cops. I would never stay there again and would not recommend this to anyone.

Plussat: Gross. Mold in shower. Cracks in floor. Wood floors made your feet or socks black. Was not worth my money. Would never go back.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Run down, looked like blood on curtain, laminent floors were cheap, first room door lock didn’t work “because of the rain” and poor location.

Plussat: Room was clean, quiet, comfortable.

Miinukset: Outside was dirty, too many people just hanging around outside does not feel safe.

Miinukset: Registered as family of 3, got 2 towels. Floors had not been swerved.Shower curtain would only cover mid area of rod=cold shower. Breakfast? Yucky eggs. Very loud. Lots of construction workers whom leave at all hours. Lots of men loitering. Saw police and security engaging with men 3x within 48 hours.

Miinukset: I didn’t like the way we were checked in I asked the women behind the desk a question and they began to laugh when I asked. People we’re knocking on our door all night. Also, the water in the room was cold the whole time so we were unable to take a shower.

Plussat: It was close to downtown area

Miinukset: Tiny roaches in restroom

Plussat: Beds were very comfortable and rooms were quiet

Plussat: The beds were nice, the bathroom was spacious for two people. I really enjoyed fan in the bedroom, they were very accommodating and let us have extra keys when ours stopped working! Would stay again!

Miinukset: the breakfast was disappointing.

Plussat: Hardwood floors were nice

Miinukset: Nowhere near university or downtown, next to loud freeway, holes in bedding, no towels upon arrival, MOLD IN BATHROOM, breakfast food was gross, staff was unfriendly, elevator was broken/under repair, ice machine not working

Plussat: the hotel was close to my destination

Miinukset: didn't like the hotel's over all appearence

Plussat: Friendly staff. Close to downtown area and target/walgreens in case of an emergency need (e.g. toothbrush, etc). Breakfast was filling.

Plussat: Probably the location and the cleanliness of my room. It was very clean and the staff were very friendly. It is not a luxury hotel but for the price I would suggest to everybody to stay here

Plussat: The price

Plussat: The price was unbeatable. We were in a convenient location, and the service was fast and friendly. The room was what we expected, but what's most important is that it was clean and comfortable. The room had great cable and even had a microwave. I've never stayed in a Super 8 before, but I would definitely do it again.

Miinukset: The furnishing are cheap, but it's what we expected. The room was quite loud since we were placed next to the office.

Plussat: the staff was very helpful

Plussat: it is ok for 1-2 nights

Miinukset: Internet didn't work with my laptop and it was a little bit cold in the room, AC didn't help

Plussat: Moderately close to downtown

Miinukset: The towels and sheets were not changed anytime during our two nights. Our room was also right next to the ice-maker and very loud.

Plussat: Cheap room close to downtown

Miinukset: The hotel is very close to the highway, the sound insulation was not good and it ended up being very noisy, I will recommend you bring earplugs

Plussat: Room was clean. Easily accessible to downtown via Highway 35.

Plussat: I liked that I didn't die or get hurt.

Miinukset: It's in a sketchy part of Austin. There are roaches everywhere. The bathroom floor was literally mushy, because water had gone under the stick-on floor laminate. Beds were far from comfortable, had a dip in the middle of the mattress. Pubes on the pillow (!!!!). No fridge or microwave. No closet. But the people were the worst part. Other guests were so seedy the motel has a security guard at night and a CURFEW. I witnessed a fist fight and the police showing up. I heard a very loud verbal fight outside my window the first night, then the second night was worse: someone kept yelling, "NO PLEASE DON'T!" over and over, then I heard what sounded like physical struggle, and then a lot of human whimpering. I literally couldn't tell if they were male or female. It was horrifying. I called 911. I will NEVER stay there ever again.

Plussat: Not a thing at all!

Miinukset: The drug deals in the parking lot with plenty of thugs lurking around. The room itself was very stinky muggy and hot with cockroaches already living there permanently.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Bed sheets stained, water pressure super low, very flat pillows, remote control for TV not working, requested to change rooms and not help with that

Plussat: Room was clean and comfortable. It was definitely on the small size for a room and was a little cramped for the 4 people we had staying there but for the price it was certainly acceptable.

Miinukset: Found 7 roaches in the first hour! Water pressure wasnt enough to get the shampoo ouf of my hair. There is only sheets on the bed so if u get cold suck It up. Worst motel I have ever been to!!! Will not stay here again. Would rather sleep in my car.

Plussat: The location is good. Close to the airport and interstate.

Miinukset: The towels were very rough. The bed didn’t actually seemed clean and the mattress dipped in the middle. There were tiny roaches crawling around the floors as well. The drain in the shower moved off the hole while showering. Wa wonky given 2 pillows for 2 people. The floors looked like a job done by a 2 year old. The black out curtains didn’t black anything out so light was coming in. There was a lot of outside noise from other neighbors and from cars and construction.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Felt unsafe.. Looks like a hotel that rents by the hour. Suppose to stay 4 nights, stayed 1 night and went to a nearby wyndam for remaining 3 days of our stay.. We normally not very picky because we don't spend much time in a hotel room but this was a miserable nights experience..

Plussat: Nothing at all. My entire stay was upsetting. Unfortunately I actually had several windows open and thought this was the correct hotel I wanted, but I booked the wrong location. I have stayed in their two bed rooms and had no issue.

Miinukset: Floors were sticky and dirty when we arrived. Seems like the cleaning crew probably mops 30 rooms with the same water. If they mop at all. Bed was literally THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE bed I have ever slept in at a hotel. It was lumpy and the springs were not good. Sleeping on a board with clean sheets would have been more desirable. Non-smoking room smelled like a smoking room with the heavy attempted mask of a bad air freshener. It smelled like a bathroom stall at a truck stop. Low water pressure from the shower made it near impossible to shower. However, the pressure from the sink was stupid high...like a jetstream. Rude front desk staff who were incredibly unprofessional - Check in was prolonged as they sat and laughed with a customer about his signature. - Tried asking for two pillows, they stated they had no extras. - Asked for shampoo/body wash and was told they had none. - Called to see about switching rooms because of how unbearable ours was along with the upstairs neighbor who sounded like they were moving in and rearranging furniture until 2am, and then as early as 6am when loud dragging nosies woke us up.... Was told at 11pm they were booked full and was hung up on. I've stayed at this location 3 years ago, in a room with two double beds and had no issues. The room was clean and the bed was pretty average. But the single double bed room I stayed in was absolutely unacceptable. I try to stay in Motel 6 because generally, I have no issues with their rooms.... But I will be calling their main office and reporting my stay. They need to definitely do something about the service at this location.

Plussat: The Donns BBQ was in same parking lot as my car outside my room door.

Miinukset: The staff can be more educated in the policies and not treat everyone as if they were prostitutes and drug dealers . It's a disgrace. Disgusting place.

Plussat: We didn't get at time, because our flight was late twice, so i called motel 6 to said that we arrived late, at 8am and then didn't refund our money because we didn't stay there.

Plussat: Room was cool and the shower hot and relaxing.

Miinukset: Road construction - but hey this is I35 there is always construction :-)

Plussat: Bad front desk service. The charge for everything

Plussat: The room and bathroom were fairly nice looking for such a low-priced motel on the freeway. Breakfast was fairly standard carb-loaded "continental", but they at least had Belgian waffles, fruit and microwaveable sausage biscuit sandwiches.

Miinukset: The room had a slight odor that my wife described as "stale popcorn", despite its apparent cleanliness.

Miinukset: That we asked for a cab it took 20 min because the lady at the desk must have a deal with him. It cost 20$ . The bedroom looked like it had mold and the toilet paper was wet??? Wouldn't stay again

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: It took me 1h to get check-in due a reservation issue Bed sheets, covers, old.

Plussat: I like the microwave, fridge,etc... that's in the rooms also the big beds.

Miinukset: That its very noisy, can't sleep bcuz dope dealers and addicts knocking on your door all night long. Waking you up bcuz they have the wrong room number to where they are going. Go outside people are smoking weed in the open like nothing it was horrible. This is all at the Austin, Tx location off E.Koeing lane by the IHop.

Plussat: We left after 2 minutes of being in the room. There were roaches crawling all over the place as well as filthy. They were charging by the hour to some people and you could tell that people where living there not just renting a room. They gave us a smoking room when we requested non-smoking as well as the fire alarm was chirping and they said just take the battery out. No help what so ever. We requested our money back and they said no.

Miinukset: EVERYTHING

Plussat: Great location. 5-10 minutes from university/downtown area. Breakfast had waffles, danish, cereal, and sausage.

Miinukset: Poorly maintained. There was notable mold on the bathroom ceiling, a crack in the shower that allowed water between the plastic and wall, the lights flickered and didn't work well, the door didn't close completely. There was a cheeto bag in the entertainment center upon arrival. The staff's response to a 2a.m. call about disruptive guests was that they already asked them to be quiet and didn't know what else to do.

Plussat: Perfect location near downtown, right off expressway. Especially given the location, it was a good value for the money. Room was decent, basic.

Miinukset: Poor insulation on the doors mean you hear everything going on outside. My husband, who is a light sleeper, couldn't sleep. Rooms need some updates, looks like they were halfway remodeled. New shower would be good, light fixtures. Breakfast had few options, no space, and items ran out like fresh fruit. All in all, I'd probably be back if I were in a bind to find a room again.

Plussat: the beds were very comfortable

Miinukset: there were roaches and crickets inside the room. the air conditioning didnt cool the room. the fridge did not stay cold. the room was not cleaned thoroughly after the previous tenants as there were belongings and trash left in the room. the pool was tiny. we were attacked by a swarm of bees on the stairs. the only vending machine was located in the lobby. the only access to the second floor was one set of stairs on either side the building, forcing us to walk far with all our luggage.

Miinukset: Room could have been painted there was writing on walls and ceilings burn marks all over furniture and bath tub door stains on pillows and sheets

Plussat: I was surprised with the free breakfast and the friendliness of the staff, both checking in and checking out (which happened to be the same gentleman both times). Even at the end of the breakfast, staff members were still refilling waffle batter and cleaning up after guests.

Miinukset: We would have liked more television options, as only local channels were offered in our room, but for the price we paid it was a great value for what we needed! And with wifi available, we didn't really need tv anyway.

Plussat: Price

Plussat: One of the few hotels with rooms available the week end of acl festival. not too far from downtown.

Miinukset: the Neighbors.

Plussat: Great price, good location - easy access to downtown and ACL Music Festival

Miinukset: Room not that clean. Locks on door get stuck and sometimes hard, if not impossible to get into the room.

Plussat: Good rates and service. Rooms clean

Miinukset: Bad location (did not feel safe staying alone) and hard to get to because of construction.

Plussat: It was very clean and the staff was very helpful..

Miinukset: No all and all it was a good stay

Plussat: Laundry facilities, modern and clean bathroom.

Miinukset: No spring water available out of the coke vending machine inside the inn during my stay.

Plussat: Close to highway.

Miinukset: The morning lady at the check out.

Plussat: very friendly staff, breakfast nice, rooms clean

Miinukset: no

Plussat: easy to find that location.

Miinukset: Not comfortable

Plussat: everything-close to highway

Miinukset: The lights didn't work in my room

Miinukset: I had to ask repeatedly for clean sheets, and even when we did get them there were weird stains on them.. We ended up getting a blanket and sleeping on top of the covers because they were so gross.

Plussat: It had a bed and a shower. We were just stopping in on a long road trip and needed a place to sleep and refresh. In that aspect, it delivered.

Miinukset: The location is very shady, the staff is slow and seem to be annoyed to even check you in. The decor and facilities are very outdated. Only stay here if you need a cheap place to close your eyes for 8 hours.

Plussat: Only the shower, nothing to pinpoint because there was nothing in the room to make stay comfortable

Miinukset: wifi No freezer No microwave No breakfast It was overall a bad experience. At least a hotel should be able to provide a level of comfort, even tea will be much appreciated or hangers in the rooms for guest. Also need to sign for a TV control at check-in. Not a good place to spend the night if on business trip, even leisure

Plussat: Flat screen TV, mini fridge, and micro wave

Miinukset: I was not able to get more towels. There were crack heads and people who looked trashy. Not a safe place to stay at by yourself. There were several cops.

Plussat: Price

Miinukset: No iron, or blow dryer. Towels weren't available upon request.

Plussat: Nothing at all stay away.

Miinukset: Everything!!!

Plussat: Central Austin Location

Miinukset: Drug-infested Homeless have over-taken the Motel. At 3:30am, one of them banged on my Motel Door...I call the Office and they ran him off. However, at 5am he called my Room wanting money.
