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.

6/10 Good

The hostess was a very kind person and very understanding. Place was not up to parr. Too many roaches, when taking a shower the water would land outside the shower area, the room had several lamps that didn’t work, pretty okay place for the price to reach downtown Austin.

Balling on a budget

The room was dated but you can tell it’s under new ownership and they’re working to make improvements. The pool is out of commission so don’t be fooled. But the location is really convenient and the woman in the front office was super kind and always available. I was a little shocked at first by the condition of the property overall, but it was safe and the stay was fine. I would stay there again if I ever was looking for a budget room.

Great service, location, parking - horrid building

If you're in Austin to see a show at the Moody Center, this hotel is walkable, has FREE parking (most hotels charge $30-50 a night) and the family who runs it are very, very nice and hospitable. So when I say that the hotel itself has seen much, much better days, it's still a decent option if you just need a safe clean bed and parking. The building itself is in very poor repair. Some of the rooms looked permanently closed. While you could tell the bathrooms were cleaned regularly, the moldy grout, peeling walls and water stains told a different story. The carpet, walls, curtains etc. were in terrible shape. The fire alarm had been ripped off the wall, the hole plugged with yellowed paper towels. But the sheets were clean, the bed was comfy enough. And as the parking lot was well lit, and the family seemed to live onsite, I never felt unsafe. If I'm ever in town for a show at the Moody Center, traveling alone and just need a place to park and snooze, I would return.
