The room was very shabby, no remote, hair dryer broken, dirty carpet and sofa, uncomfortable bed, lots of noise and people shouting in the hall in the middle of the night, light over the bathroom mirror not working so hard to see. This place badly needs an update. Great location and staff was friendly

The location is very convenient. However besides that, everything is terrible. First room that was given, the bath tub was rusty and has blood stains. Cigarette Smell of the room. Requested to change the room and was given far, close to the exit door which is fine but the room- bed and pillow were very uncomfortable. Water was cold, seems no hot water. Whilst resting for the night, someone opened our room door and was able to get in. The receptionist gave the same key card number. I called but no sense of apology for the mistake. It’s uncomfortable stay in totality. It’s just the location is close to the river and the bus stations.

won't stay there again.
when i arrived there were about 7-10 men hanging around in the check in area (on the floor, leaning against walls, etc.). it was late at night, so i don't think they were waiting for a room to be ready, but as a single woman walking up, i had to ask the front desk person if i was safe. the hallways were dimly lit. the carpet on the floor was pulled up in areas and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. there was a small roach in the bathroom area on the sink. the faucet in the shower ran nonstop and could not get turned off.

I would NOT stay here again. The entire place smelled like cigarette smoke. The attendants didn't attend to anything -- my sink was leaking/dripping all night. The shower curtain wasn't long enough to stop water inside the shower, and the yapping dog next door drove me nuts. Horrible experience.

Good enough for price.
Due to Grand Prix in town, hotel rates were INSANE. For the regular price, this hotel is clean and comfortable enough (though the pull out sofa was ridiculous—don’t plan on the suite sleeping more than 1 bed’s worth if you can avoid it). Nice having a full kitchen if needed, and the location was great—walking distance to moody theatre and downtown. If you want amenities, this is likely not the place for you. If practical and affordable is your goal, this will do it for you. Free parking for folks staying there , and pretty low priced for inner Austin. Can you get less expensive? Maybe. Can you get nicer? Certainly, but in my experience visiting Austin, you’ll likely pay double, triple or more—plus daily parking.

Entire room felt dirty
The room had an overpowering smell of Fabulosa. It was like someone just dumped a bunch on the floor to cover something up because the floor was still sticky in some areas and slick in others. The room and carpet were damp, and it felt very unsanitary everywhere. The towels had long black hairs on them, as well as on the toilet seat. Overall, I felt gross being in there.
