In reference to all the "bad" reviews that came before me - they are completely unfounded. We were greeted by the friendliest woman upon check in. She was personable and quick to get us checked in. Is the hotel outdated, old? Yes. Is the furniture, carpets, walls, etc. stained from the passage of time? Yes. But the bathrooms are clean, the beds are clean, there are NO BUGS and you feel absolutely safe there. This is a perfect and cost effective place to lay your head, and is only 5-7 minutes from ANYWHERE you want to go in Austin. I highly highly recommend. You want Hilton? Go stay there. This isn't Hilton. But it's perfectly acceptable.
