The motel had a perfect location close to the University campus and also reasonable rates. Room 210 had a valve problem with the cold water at the bathroom sink. The flow was very slow. Overall, a good stay with reasonable rates.

Motel is quite old. This is the cheapest option i could find to stay close to downtown. You get what you paid. I could not connect for some reason to wi Fi. Parking is free so that is a plus and TV has great channels. I struggle to communicate properly with personnel

Price didn't match the value. For that price or slightly more, I could pick up something with a limited breakfast, water bottles or something.

Quite possibly the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Room disgustingly dirty. Lights or WiFi did not work. Pool is green. While hotel is nothing like the photos, and the staff were outright rude when I complained. Avoid at ALL costs.

I booked a non-smoking room but the previous occupant smoked and left 2 butt’s in the trash. While the management was apologetic & did try to spray and clean, when I unreturned to the room hours later the smoke smell was back.

The hostess was a very kind person and very understanding. Place was not up to parr. Too many roaches, when taking a shower the water would land outside the shower area, the room had several lamps that didn’t work, pretty okay place for the price to reach downtown Austin.
