The privacy and hospitality from staff Wired people walking around outside and the $100 deposit

The staff was nice and pretty friendly. The smell was awful! The whole hotel smelled like cigarettes. The mild inside the a/c unit was so bad it looked like Dip n Dots! Bathroom floor clearly wasn't mopped with footprints and pubic hair on it. Just an all around gross hotel.

Breakfast was good & receptionis was friendly. This hotel needs to be shut down. It is very rundown & smells awful. The elevator jolts, the carpet & walls are grossly dirts, the non-smoking room reeked of smoke and the bathrooms made you cry out for lysol.

Staff was friendly enough. Door had 2 locks. ROACHES. Smelled like Black n' Milds. No hot water. I'm not a picky person, but I only stayed one of the 2 nights I (over)paid for.

The young man at the front desk, and any other employees we encountered were friendly and helpful. The facility is very old and hasn't been kept up very well.

Nothing. Well let's see. Crack heads. Cigarette Holes in the bed. ROACHES. AS SOON AS WE WALKED IN THE ROOM THERE WAS A ROACH ON THE WALL. When I booked the hotel, I read the reviews and thought "it can't be THAT bad" maybe in just that one room there was roaches or cigarette burns. NO. My friends and I got two seperate rooms and both had roaches and cigarette burns in the bed. The Windows had no screens to it and when we came in the room they were wide open. Check out said 12 when we reserved the room but house keeping knocked on our door at 10am saying check out is 11. Complained to the front desk but they acted like they didn't care because they didn't. Lol. I didn't expect a 5 start hotel but I didn't expect cock roach inn and cigarette burns in the bed either.

Roaches in the restroom, cigarette burns on the comforter. Tiny bathroom. Staff was very friendly. Creepy parking lot. Homeless man hanging out by the door. Would only stay again as a last resort.

Location was great for our needs. The beds were comfortable. the entire hotel stunk. My bed comforter had cigarette burns, and this is a smokeless room. The shower head leaked and sprayed off the side. The vanity light only had one bulb working. we stayed in room 206. I guess you get what you pay for... Meh. Most likely will never stay at another Howard Johnson. Parking Lot was very dim and we felt uneasy the entire time.

Close to downtown Austin and the highway. The area wasn't too great, did not feel secure. You could hear people above/next to your room. People loitered in the parking lot. Staff not professional

We reserved a room and the front desk didn't even know what we were talking about and asking what kind of room we wanted. This was also after he helped the people behind us first while we were clearly waiting before them. Also, in the background for comforting music was hard rock which is just unprofessional for a hotel to play. The room itself was something out of some scary movie. The deadbolt in the room was busted so there was no way of even feeling a sense of security in this place at all. Only reason we didn't go someplace else was because there wasn't a refund.

The room itself was fine- quiet, normal smell, decent bed. Very helpful staff. So, they overbooked online and we had trouble checking in. There were prostitutes in the hall and the place strongly of smelled of pot. We checked in while the police were doing a fraud bust. The bathroom ceiling was moldy, which wouldn't have bothered me if it hadn't been leaking water onto our clean towels. And the breakfast was just cereal.

The price and location is the only thing going for this hotel. The bathtub was dirty and the room smelled. The fixtures and painting was not finished (wires hanging from the ceiling and patches in bathroom that were not painted) There was a loud party going on above our room until 4am.

Shower faucet difficult to operate, possibly calcified. No plugs for sink nor tub. Windows very dirty. Large hole in bedspread.

Location between airport and downtown Austin was perfect for my purposes. Cost was low. Parking was good. TV and shower were very good. A washer and dryer were available, which was a very nice surprise and put to good use. Continental breakfast was just fine. There was a slight but noticeable smell when I walked in -- air conditioning helped disguise it, but I'd only come back if traveling alone again. It wouldn't be acceptable if I was staying as a couple. I loved the availability of a laundry room, but when I asked the staff if there was detergent available to buy, I was told "no." I found out later they had it for sale in the vending machines a few feet away -- after I already spent more than I needed to at the convenience store next door. The staff should obviously know this stuff. Also, it was noticeable how sloppily some of the basic maintenance was there: fixtures that weren't properly mounted to the walls, sloppy painting of walls and doorways. It doesn't cost a motel owner a penny more to do this stuff right, but it makes a huge difference in how nice a place is.

The workers are very nice and friendly. The room was clean. When I first pulled up to the hotel, four shirtless men were being arrested in the parking lot. Lot's of beer cans and trash in the parking lot. No less then six times, a homeless person came up to me outside the hotel to ask for money. No hot water. NONE! Awful breakfast. Very scary people just hanging out in the parking lot. There's a gas station and liquor store next door. Never again without armed security.
