Austin hotellit Parker Lane

Miinukset: Dirty

Plussat: Our room wasn't huge or decked out with super new furnishings, but it was clean. Location was fairly close to places we wanted to go--most drives were only 10 minutes or so. Staff was polite.

Miinukset: Our toilet was running when we came in, and the carpet by the AC unit was damp. The AC unit blew directly at the bed--both my partner and I were constantly too hot or too cold at night from having it blow on us. Our room faced the back parking lot and we got a lot of noise from outside and the lot next door. Also, the room keys are electronic and get discharged really easily when they get too close to your wallet or cell phone. Every day we had to replace at least one of them, even though we tried to keep these items far from each other. When you go to staff to have the card replaced, they don't even check ID, they'll just give you a card for the room you say. This didn't make us feel that we or our belongings were terribly safe.

Plussat: The staff at this hotel were very polite. I didn't have any issues. When we called the front desk someone immediately came to our room to help. The bathroom was huge which I liked. And nothin was out of sorts with the bedroom. It was like any other La Quinta I've stayed at before. You get what you pay for. My stay was just fine.

Miinukset: Our toilet and phone for our room malfunctioned while we were there.

Plussat: How quickly I was changed rooms after we let them know we did not want a smoking room because the smell was too strong.

Miinukset: Even though we were moved quickly, the water was extremely hot could not shower, brush teeth, wash hands etc. Had to shower in the tub with a cup in order to keep water from burning.

Plussat: The location. That's it.

Miinukset: Very poor security. The first evening there, someone sat on the hood of my rental car resulting in a huge dent in the hood. It was loud, almost no security at all, the parking was terrible and it's apparent they have break ins in the parking lot. Maid service was practically non-existent, I declined my second day there as the room was very clean, the maid never came back for the next 3 days. The rooms were beat, stained, and in need of renovation. For $118 a night (I realize that's cheap by Austin standards) however, they could have at least made a modicum of effort in cleaning the grounds and rooms, which they didn't. All in all, I wouldn't stay there again.

Plussat: The roof over the walkways are rotted and leaking. Floors and furniture are stained. Noisy plumbing. If you're just looking for a place to stop and sleep, I guess this will save you from sleeping in a WaMart parking lot. Otherwise, there really isn't a lot to praise.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: The place was dirty and filthy. The worst Quinta I have ever been in.

Plussat: Staff was nice

Miinukset: Room was old. shower felt dirty. Towels were gross. Nothing good to eat in the area.

Plussat: Not much to like about this property. I do like that La Qunita is pet friendly.

Miinukset: The property is old and in disrepair. It has been "renovated" with new carpets that are grossly stained already. That's about the only thing I could see that was new, except maybe the flat panel television. All the doors barely closed because I the layers and layers of paint built up. The faucet in the dirty bathtub was on crooked and the shelf was falling off the wall. It's in a very shady part of town. I had a guy approach me while getting my kids out of the car after dark one night asking for money. The new La Quinta's are pretty nice but we will never stay at this location again.

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 :-)
