This was easily the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. I have stayed at hotels all over the world too. I'm not a prissy snob who has to stay at the Hilton , and I've stayed at Super 8 hotels as well.
I only ended up here because I wanted to book a last minute trip to Austin and the alternative hotels were upwards of $300 a night. This hotel charged $89/night + tax with a AAA discount. I was surprised to see that the hotel was asking for $200 a night to people who came without a reservation. Frankly, this is highway robbery.
The first thing that will strike you when you enter the hotel room is the smell. Its a combination of smoke, mold, mildew. I noticed a candy wrapper next to the bed so it's obvious it's not cleaned, and I can only imagine the filth on the bedspread and under the bed.
There was NO HOT WATER any morning after 10 AM. That is just absolutely intolerable.
The breakfast is just plain bad. Better off spending $5 at McDonalds for a hot breakfast.
The location is pretty good. Its walking distance to 6th street. However, the walk along the way is quite sketchy. I saw drug deals going down and there are tons of unsavory characters hanging about.
In the future, I will never stay here again. I would rather stay at a comfortable hotel a few miles out of town and take a cab. Especailly if you are out late, you need a good night sleep to have the energy to party some more.
To summarize, the biggest rip-off I have ever experienced. but hey, it made for a great story. Oh and don't even think about if if you are with your family. There are too many drunk people making loud noises.
