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.

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.

The photos on-line of the entire place are from the time it first opened, and everything now is so bad that me and my wife cancelled our stay and stayed somewhere else.

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.
