They say "you get what you pay for" which is usually true, but there should be a standard for every hotel, even if it was free. The environment inside the room was immediately uninviting with the smell of cigarettes. The blankets had many cigarette burn marks which confirmed what we thought about the smell. Parts of the floorboard felt like we would fall down into the first floor. The shower area is very short, rather the shower floor is too high, so good luck if you're any taller than 6', you'll be kissing the ceiling. The TV we were provided was monitor-sized and had a broken screen, and within 3 hours of communicating that, they did replace it for a nicer, bigger TV, but I'm afraid they'll give the smaller broken one to the next "sucker" who books another room. Breakfast was an issue 2/4 mornings; their breakfast hours are 6-9 AM, and two times—both around 8:20 AM—they had already ran out of breakfast. The pool was definitely a nice addition, and the A/C was great at night. The fridge was decent in size and quality. Overall I wouldn't stay here again, but it was the cheapest hotel in Austin.
