“A comfortable place for visitors”

This was close to my office, close to highways like 35/183 and really cheap. I felt fine here. Not so royal Not too cheap.

“Best rate hotel”

The hotel is at a location that is very easy to commute, with best rate.

“Good for the price”

The staff was friendly and helpful. The condition of the hotel is kind of hit and miss. The first room I checked into was not in good shape (shower rod coming loose, missing knob on bathroom sink) but the staff was friendly about moving me to another room which turned out to be much nicer. The location is good, with easy access to I-35 and 183. For the price, it was a good place to stay; if you're just looking for a place to sleep, I would recommend it.

“Great price in North Austin”

We went to Austin for the Republic of Texas motorcycle rally and made hotel reservation only 1 month before the event. This hotel stood out since the price was about 60% less than other hotels in the same area. Since price was one of our primary considerations, we booked it. Although the location is easy to find on a map (I-35 and I-183), getting into the hotel was difficult as one would have to get on the I-35 service road north of the I-183 exit. If coming from I-183 north, then you would have to exit for I-35 north and go through the neighborhood to get into the hotel entrance. Other than figuring how to best get into the hotel, the rooms were spacious and clean. The is a buffet breakfast included in the price. The small gym had a couple of treadmills and a weight machine that was not working. It also has a pool and indoor jacuzzi.

“Austin visit”

The room was great with a beautiful location. It had a sliding glass door looking out on the lush, green lawn, large trees, and the swimming pool. We had our own patio with outdoor chairs. Overall, the room exceeded our expectations. The service was sometimes spotty. After a visit to the whirlpool, we asked to exchange our towels for fresh ones and none were available. I asked about the laundry facility and was misdirected as to its location. Then I asked to buy laundry soap, and none was available. They were at least able to make change and provide quarters. The pool was not available because it had been "shocked" and when I asked how long it would be unavailable was told "I don't know". The spa and exercise area were in good working condition. The breakfast was fine. I would stay there again.

“IT WAS AN OK HOTEL FOR THE PRICE WE PAID”

Well first off to begin with there was no HOWARD JOHNSON sign, we spent about an hour looking for the hotel, it turned out to be a diferent name, NOT Howard Johnson. The breakfast was OK for it being free, can't complain, room was nice, and it even had a slidiNG door INSIDE the room, never expereinced that before so that ws inteestng. Also there was a INSIDE jacuzzi, very nice.

“Convenient”

Somewhat confused by name of hotel. Did not see the small Howard Johnson sign until we pulled into the parking lot to ask for directions.This used to be a very classy hotel (15-20 years ago) but has gone through a variety of owners and now the lobby is being remodelled so no restaurant and the checkin desk is off to one side. The continental breakfast was sparse compared to others in the city (even smaller variety than at La Quinta!) but then the room rate was MUCH lower. The room was comfortable but the description of being "close to lobby" was misleading and it was VERY inconvenient for handicapped people. (If using a walker or crutches it's a LONG walk up and down ramps.) BUT the bathroom with the roll-in shower was well built and good sized. Comfortable King-size bed. A/C temperature hard to manage, but that is typical of motel rooms. POSITIVE NOTE: Although they don't have a bell boy, as such, or even a rolling luggage cart, the night watchman helped us into our room with our luggage.

“Pleasanty surprised”

The area where this hotel is located was actually pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised. It was clean and i had no problems at all checking in. At no time during my stay did i feel uncomfortable or unsafe. The beds were very comfortable and i enjoyed my stay. The maids came in and cleaned the room periodically and everything was pretty accessible as far as towels or any other necessities.

“Okay”

Our room was very clean & we had no interference what so ever, we enjoyed that our room was close to the pull.

“Good for what I paid for.”

Hotel was a lot more than what I expected from the price I payed. Hotel was very clean, staff was very nice and helpful. When entering my room i was also impressed. Clean sheets, clean bathroom, and slept fressh. Only flaw was one of the drawer was broken (but really wasn't that big of a deal) and the lounge chair was also broken on the handle. As for the bathroom, the shower head didn't give much power, took me forever to get all the shampoo out of my hair. When i checked out, staff made sure my experience went as planned, which it did. I plan on staying here again!
