Dirty and Smells Musty
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, and I will not stay here again. I stayed here on a recent business trip and did not change hotels only because my days were so long and I didn't want the hassle of dealing with moving all of my belongings. Here are the issues:
1) Front desk staff was there to check me in and nothing else. She said maybe five words to me during the entire check-in process. She gave me the feeling that she did not want to be there and I was a burden to her. The only thing exciting about check-in was the basket of free apples and bananas for Priority Club members.
2) Hallway carpet and lobby tile were dirty and needed cleaning. It looks like the carpet had not been cleaned for quite some time.
3) I immediately noticed a musty smell when I checked into my room. It was the kind of smell that makes me think there is mold or mildew somewhere. The carpet was very dirty and worn. The carpet has not been cleaned recently or replaced for quite some time. The AC unit in the room could use improvement. It took over two hours for my room to cool down to a comfortable temperature. Also, there is not a constant fan setting for the AC unit, so it turns on and off all night about every 10 minutes. It was very busy outside throughout the night, and the walls of this hotel don't do much to keep sound out. I woke up several times to people closing doors, talking outside and walking in the hallway.
The only thing good about this hotel was the price at the time. It was about $50 cheaper per night than the other hotels in/around Austin. I guess this is proof once again that you get what you pay for... Buyer Beware!
