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

Worst Hotel in Austin

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.
