We just returned from our first visit in Austin and we must say the Super 8 was the perfect fit. We needed an inexpensive option close to the airport and after reading the reviews on this web site we rolled the dice and booked with the Super 8.
We booked a king bed suite directly through the hotel. At a rate of under $100 a night we we're hesitant but we felt so lucky to have taken the chance. I read that people had difficulty finding the hotel but we had no issue. Check in was very quick and smooth. The lobby though small did have as advertised, DVD's for rent, 2 large screen TV's, couches to sit on, a counter for evening snacks, and a shoe buffer. Our room was spacious and very clean with plenty of drawer space, a mini fridge, microwave, DVD player and not to mention a 52 in big screen TV. The couch wasn't very comfortable but the bed more than made up for it with nice linens and an incredibly comfortable pillow top. Another nice touch was a radio/ipod dock. The bathroom had all the basics, marble counter, hair dryer, shaving mirror, hot water. The shower had a curved rod so the curtain bowed out which was nice because the curtain wasn't pressed against us. The one negative was the upper portion of the tub wasn't so clean.
Breakfast was on par with most hotels in this category, nothing special but enough to get your day started. Other nice touches were the free wi-fi and business center. Overall we were pleasantly surprised by this hotel and we see no reason to spend $60- $100 more to stay at a similar Courtyard or Hampton Inn.
