We just needed a place to sleep and shower as we travelled. We have 3 priorities: 1) clean, 2) comfortable bed, not a board, and 3) everything works. Decor, age and breakfast are irrelevant. This place checked our boxes. We would stay again.

MUY MAL EN GENERAL !!!

Recorrimos todo estados unidos en 18 días y a todos los hoteles que llegamos nos trataron muy bien! Llegamos un poco tarde a este hotel, teníamos reservadas 6 habitaciones y nos trataron en recepción peor que si fuéramos delincuentes, muy mala actitud de la persona que nos atendió, por la hora ya no buscamos otro hotel, las condiciones del hotel eran malas, los cuartos con mobiliario viejo, tenia mal olor, el desayuno que se supone lo incluía fue inexistente solo café, al reservar era la única opción en verdad no reserven aquí,

Sketchy area, good night's sleep

Don't be fooled. The immediate surrounding area looks super sketchy, but the hotel was comfortable. The breakfast offering were a little thin, but the bed was nice and everything was clean and well-maintained.

Way over priced!

Not real happy! Room was suppose to be king size bed but ended up in a small room with a single bed. Place is old and dated. Cleanliness is not a priority. Hotel is way over priced for what your get. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Close to the Interstate Hwy

Very reasonable rates. New owner is working hard to please. The continental breakfast is a little sad but Kenny's Oak Grill is just a short drive downtown for a fantastic breakfast.

La réception s'est faite de façon rapide et efficace. La chambre était très propre et la literie aussi très propre. Le petit déjeuner est au stricte minimum pas de fruits, pas de yogourts, seulement de la gelée au raisin pour les roties. Pas de séchoir à cheveux ni de cafetière dans la chambre. Le lit est confortable.

Bittersweet honesty

Stayed here a few years ago and thought it would suffice again for our latest trip to Austin. I'm not a picky person, but I was disappointed this time around. The hotel is really looking run down both inside and out. Our room wasn't as clean as I'd expect (again I'm not picky). There were hardly any other guests at the place - which I take as a sign that people are no longer satisfied with it's current conditions. It would probably suffice as a place to crash for a solo traveler, but families should skip past this place. The location, which is hardly the hotel's fault, is very depressed and rundown, and sits on the outskirts of town. I hared writing this review because the owners are nice and like I said, the hotel was better during our last stay.

Good Choice

I have chosen this motel several times for my visits to the Austin area. The rooms are clean, the staff is great and the beds are comfortable. It is a bare basics motel, but it has served my needs for a good price. The only thing I wish were a little better were the breakfast. I like to have some protein or fruit with my breakfast, but they really only advertise a continental breakfast, so if you want more for breakfast, you can go somewhere else. The internet is pretty good also.

Typical Austin hotel

There's nothing adjacent to the hotel. The location reminded me if the beginning chapter of a Stephen King novel.
