2-Sterne-Hotels in Austin

Das Hotel war neu, so dass alles frisch und sauber war. Die Lage ist etwa 15 Minuten langsam zu Fuß zum Hauptteil der ”East 6th”, es war günstig in der Nacht(wir hatten zweimal um Mittag nach dem Abendessen) aber natürlich wie in allen Städten immer wissen, Ihre Umgebung. Ein kurzer Spaziergang führt Sie nach Downtown und viele heiße Punkte. Das Frühstück war sehr schön, mit frischer Kaffee. Das Front Office Team war wirklich hilfreich. Insgesamt war v zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt.

Very functional hotel with basic breakfast and a nice quiet park nearby, 20 minutes from Downtown Austin. I stayed in both a basic room with a queen bed, and a suite (they turned out to be identical), around the Texas Eclipse in April 2024. Pros: * Even the most basic room is very functional: desk and ergonomic chair for computer work, mini-fridge, microwave, couch, comfortable bed * Basic breakfast until 9am: microwaveable burritos and biscuits, hard boiled eggs, milk and cereal, apples, oranges, coffee, juice * Very helpful staff (held onto my luggage, received packages, printed labels, extended my reservation several times) * Nice quiet park to walk or jog in, 3 minutes away by foot (the MetCenter Hike & Bike trail). Hardly anybody there every time I went. * Small fitness room with 3 cardio machines * $8 shuttle service to the airport, plus free pickup from the airport * The elevator now works Cons: * The WiFi was extremely fast in the lobby, but on the 3rd floor - unstable, and would disconnect briefly several times per hour. Like most other hotels, WiFi also kicks you out 2+ times a day, and you have to login (with the same password). I don't really get the point of this, and if the logout happens during a video call, you're screwed until you reconnect 💥, OR if you're on your phone, it goes on data and chews up bandwidth to handle the video. Microtel, please stop this dumb practice. * The TV's WiFi worked only on day one (so other devices could connect and cast to it), and never since then. * The area doesn't have anything interesting within a 5-minute walk, but is a ~15-minute Uber ride to downtown Austin. Ubers take ~5 minutes to arrive. So consider 20 minutes to get to Downtown. * Walls aren't the thickest so I could hear the neighbors bumping things into them, but overall both rooms were quiet. * The mattress was a tiny bit squeaky * Breakfast ends at 9am. Other places have breakfast until 10am. * The suite may be slightly bigger but I didn't see ANY advantage vs. the basic room. Really not worth the price difference. Exactly the same layout and furniture. Not sure why they charge more for it.

I stay here because it is very close to the VA Clinic. I live more than a 100 miles from Austin so when I have an early morning appointment I stay here so I do not have to fight the early morning traffic in Austin. It is much easier to spend the night and then go to my appointment. The rooms are very clean, the beds are comfortable, very close to the VA clinic, nice staff and pricing fits my budget.

Dieses Hotel ist gut unter allen Moteln, die ich kürzlich reserviert habe. Sauber und hat einen schönen Tisch, um meinen Laptop zu verwenden.

Preisqualität. 15 Minuten zu Fuß zum Zentrum. Großer Parkplatz

Check-in was a breeze and Veronica at the front desk was very pleasant. Once in the room, because I cleaned up water spilt on the floor, I found the white toilet paper turned absolutely black AND with ***** hairs on it to boot. All this within 1sq ft. I called the lobby and asked how often the floors were mopped. I was told “every day.” I related what I had found to the contrary and was asked if I wished to change rooms to which I said “yes!”. When I went down to retrieve the new key, I took the wadded toilet paper with me and she took a picture of it before throwing it in the garbage! There were two very large, well lit, vending machines in a hallway off the main lobby, and the ice machine was in good working order and the ice, clean and solidly frozen.  I decided I was too tired to check and see if the new rooms’ floor was dirty or not so I proceeded to not ever walk on the floor with my bare feet. The day manager, Mari, was very nice and the coffee was hot fresh out of the thermos on the side table…hot water and tea bags also available. If you detest “sweet ‘n low” bring your own natural sugar. I ran into the head of housekeeping and happened to mention how disgustingly dirty the floors were in my first room, and I informed her that the night manager had taken a picture of what I had wiped up on my piece of toilet paper and she said she would go and ask to see it. I later learned that Mayra had indeed done so. So that was good attention to detail. Everything in the room worked fine including the remote and TV, the microwave was spotless and looked brand new and it even had a childproof lock on it for those families traveling with curious offspring that haven’t internalized the meaning of “NO” yet 😵💫. The refrigerator was spotless and new looking as well. WiFi was strong and reliable. I walked by the pool, which I noticed was closed (understandable for this time of year!). It was full of water, but I must say that it looked the equivalent of a Louisiana swamp and I was prepared to see a ‘gator come climbing up those darkened, slimy stairs at any point in time.😆 The parking lot at night is VERY well lit around the entire property which is a very welcome sight! Being right off the interstate doesn’t provide for any exciting venues to walk to but there IS a wonderful grocery store (HEB) .7miles away straight down Rundeburg on Lamar/Rundeburg. Other than that there are a plethora of food trucks doling out South American ‘cuisine’ just yards from the front of the hotel as well as across the street. I didn’t try any of them so cannot opine. I hope this was worth the read, if indeed you got this far! Cheers!🥂

The towels were very worn out. There were tears in the sheets of the bed. Looked like some sort of red splatter on the ceiling and black stains in the bathroom ceiling. The mattress was super worn out, even had a massive indention in the middle. You could hear the springs every time you moved or sat on the bed. The TV channels were not working and the door was missing the extra safety lock. The desk chair was super worn. Nonetheless the AC/Heater worked, there was a running microwave and fridge. It did the job!

Die Annehmlichkeiten waren sehr gut, die Annehmlichkeiten waren sehr gut und das Personal war sehr gut zu Hause und hat sogar mein Zimmer ohne Ausgabe verändert, was sehr schön war.

Solo Reisende. Sicherlich willkommen für kurze Aufenthalte. Sie erhalten, was Sie für dieses Bereich bezahlen. Die Reinigkeit ist nicht da. Der Boden ist begabt... und es gibt einige Ölstänge, die seit Jahren aufgrund ihres Aussehens dort waren. Insgesamt ist es ein wirklich erschwinglicher Aufenthalt mit ausreichenden Einrichtungen für kurze Aufenthalte.
