You get what you pay for with this (somewhat) inexpensive motel next to I-35 (across the highway from downtown). The rooms are clean, and the cleaning staff is top notch. In-room fridge and microwave are nice. The pool is small and not very inviting, and the free breakfast is pretty average (no eggs, but plenty of carbs). The front desk... More

I needed just one night stay and to basically sleep so I didn't really need to splurge at a nice hotel so I chose this one (since all the other ones were 150 and up or were all booked up). It is close to downtown without being right in the middle where it can get congested driving in and out... More

Being that we were not too familiar with Austin, this was just right for us, it was located away from major confusing loops, offering easy access to downtown, plenty of Wal-Marts, HEB groceries, and a Whataburger just across I-35. The staff is friendly, I was very impressed with how clean it was, no moldy smells in room, Super 8 internet... More

Awesome location, the staff; especially Ms. Kirsten Brown were very helpful, and the bed comfortable, decent size room w/micro & fridge. Breakfast also as expected ~ simple but adequate. The price allowed me to stay within my budget. More

The hotel is only a short (c.10 min) walk to the main area of Austin (ie 6th Street / Downtown), is perfectly clean and comfortable and staff are helpful. The free internet/breakfast is a bonus. Sure, it's not the fanciest hotel, nor is it in quite the ideal location, but it was about a quarter of the prices I was... More

I chose this hotel because of the price and location. It is a little further walk to places downtown, but at half the price. The desk staff was helpful and quite nice, and there was a friendly security guard there at night. Most of the staff was great at offering information and suggestions. They had a computer you can use... More

Truly the worst motel I've ever stayed in. I didn't expect the Ritz, but come on. The walls are dirty and paper thin. The beds are dirty and paper thin. The mattress was slanted to the point that I had to hold on while I slept so as not to roll off. The room smelled and looked like it hadn't... More
