Ok in a pinch
This is no longer an econolodge per the Indian man behind the desk , 8 cars maybe in the parking lot, needs updating, didn’t do the breakfast , no more than one night is necessary !

We just needed a place to sleep and shower as we travelled. We have 3 priorities: 1) clean, 2) comfortable bed, not a board, and 3) everything works. Decor, age and breakfast are irrelevant. This place checked our boxes. We would stay again.

Very quiet area. The motel is all by itself since the surrounding businesses are closed. Would recommend for the road warrior just looking for a bed and a shower.

Don't be fooled. The immediate surrounding area looks super sketchy, but the hotel was comfortable. The breakfast offering were a little thin, but the bed was nice and everything was clean and well-maintained.

Way over priced!
Not real happy! Room was suppose to be king size bed but ended up in a small room with a single bed. Place is old and dated. Cleanliness is not a priority. Hotel is way over priced for what your get. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Bittersweet honesty
Stayed here a few years ago and thought it would suffice again for our latest trip to Austin. I'm not a picky person, but I was disappointed this time around. The hotel is really looking run down both inside and out. Our room wasn't as clean as I'd expect (again I'm not picky). There were hardly any other guests at the place - which I take as a sign that people are no longer satisfied with it's current conditions. It would probably suffice as a place to crash for a solo traveler, but families should skip past this place. The location, which is hardly the hotel's fault, is very depressed and rundown, and sits on the outskirts of town. I hared writing this review because the owners are nice and like I said, the hotel was better during our last stay.

This was a very nice hotel; however, the area was quite bleak...no services or food. Fine for a one night stay.

Good Choice
I have chosen this motel several times for my visits to the Austin area. The rooms are clean, the staff is great and the beds are comfortable. It is a bare basics motel, but it has served my needs for a good price. The only thing I wish were a little better were the breakfast. I like to have some protein or fruit with my breakfast, but they really only advertise a continental breakfast, so if you want more for breakfast, you can go somewhere else. The internet is pretty good also.

Typical Austin hotel
There's nothing adjacent to the hotel. The location reminded me if the beginning chapter of a Stephen King novel.

Clean, comfortable room in a depressed setting
Sadly, this interstate exit has gone dead. The surrounding businesses are all boarded up, the parking lot is in a state of total disrepair, and the facility is a little run down. In contrast, the sister property in LaCrosse, Wisconsin was just as old, but cheerful and well maintained with attention to little details at nearly half the price!

More than expected.
Was very impressed for the lowest price they had. Was very clean and the breakfast was really really excellent. I was first thinking for the price- you get what you pay for. BUT with this hotel was way more than expected for the price I paid. So-Excellent price, Excellent service, Excellent clean, Excellent breakfast, and Excellent friendliness from the staff.

Decent place to stop over
This is a great hotel if you are passing through and just want a place to sleep. The room was really small, as was the bed. The rooms are dated, but were clean. The bed was not the most comfortable I have ever slept in. It was a spring mattress and you could tell it was kind of worn. But the staff was friendly and helpful, and it was in a quiet location. I wouldn't want to spend a week there, but it was perfect for a cheap room for a night.
