Interesting
As I was attending the inaugural Formula 1 race in Austin, I was trying to find something relatively cheap with good quality and convenient location. The location was near a poor, bad area of town, which was not what I expected. Also, I got put in a 1-star motel-like room down by the pool in the beginning (horrible room - hair in the sink, dirty, no kitchen utensils, weird vibe, motel 6-ish, damp floors, you get the idea), then complained and got moved up to a four star room, modern and pretty nice, with a lamp that didn't work. I think, given the experience, it was generous to give 3 stars, but the Formula 1 race was great. Probably won't stay here again, but it was not terrible. Just don't try out what they call "suites"... they are only known as suites because they are bigger and have a kitchen area... they are renovated Motel-6's.
