La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Capitol / Downtown
There was dog food in the restroom floor no sheets for the sofa bed. When I went to ask for them the lady at the front desk was rude and didn’t want to help or even get up her name was Blanca. They day front desk guy was very helpful but that’s as far as anything good. Would never stay there again ...
