Austin Hotels in North Loop

Price was cheapest in town.

The details on Kayak listed "Entertainment - Wi-Fi and satellite channels" but they charged $2.99 for Wi-Fi (it's the principle not the cost). Additionally even though I had the room furthest from the Freeway, the traffic noise was constant.

It was bad.... Bugs everywhere

I didn't like rooms, smell bad in the room! Bugs on the floor!

had fridge

clean inside the rooms but dirty outside and all around the building. Also somewhat of a rough crowd, people shouting and arguing loudly in the parking at fairly late hours.

That it was right off the freeway.

The bathroom was falling apart, had holes in the doors, and the towel holders were hanging by just a few threads. The bed was miserable, the pillows were basically non existent and the mattress even had holes in the sides. Didn't realize that our booking was for a smoking room and boy did it stink. All of our clothes had to be washed. The AC unit shut off and on all through the night. Worst sleep ever!! This hotel should be no more than $40 a night!1!!

The staff was very good, friendly and responsive.

The hotel is under construction. Half of it was blocked off whoch is fine but it should not have construction starting at 8:00 a.m. on a holiday weekend in the room above us. Also there were problems with hot water.

While the website stated that they had "shuttle" service, we were told simply that they would be happy to call us a taxi - for $30. Our fare, after getting our own taxi, was $14.00. The shower head was barely attached to the wall. The water temp changed when other people in the building used the water. Breakfast was watery, crap eggs, grease on the bacon, and way over priced. But the worst was when I came downstairs with wet hair and told them that the hair dryer in our room doesn't work. "Her" response was: "Oh, ok." - SERIOUSLY??? Customer Service 101 = "I'm Sorry". Apparently, she never got that training.

The king bed was great and comfy. The breakfast was good. Most of the staff was friendly. Everything was clean and in good order.

The variable rates!! I didn't know such thing existed and we were charged extra for our last day. Didn't like that! Also the little book in the room said they had complimentary airport transportation and found out that was at that Fairfield Inn. So we had a $50 cab fare which we hadn't counted on. They should edit the book and I let them know that but they didn't seem that concerned. I wouldn't stay there again for those 2 reasons.

Liked the bed, having a fridge & microwave, pool, tv, tub.

Lights were sketchy, proximity to the highway isn't great but nothing bad really.

The room and bathroom were fairly nice looking for such a low-priced motel on the freeway. Breakfast was fairly standard carb-loaded "continental", but they at least had Belgian waffles, fruit and microwaveable sausage biscuit sandwiches.

The room had a slight odor that my wife described as "stale popcorn", despite its apparent cleanliness.

I like the microwave, fridge,etc... that's in the rooms also the big beds.

That its very noisy, can't sleep bcuz dope dealers and addicts knocking on your door all night long. Waking you up bcuz they have the wrong room number to where they are going. Go outside people are smoking weed in the open like nothing it was horrible. This is all at the Austin, Tx location off E.Koeing lane by the IHop.
