Howard Johnson Austin North

This hotel had a great price. The only issue I had was that all the rooms were nonsmoking. Not a problem but the sheets had several cigarette burns. I would stay at this location in the future due to the price and location. However I would hesitate to recommend it.

I assume the hotel allows pets. I did not feel it in the room, but maybe it is because the detergine kills the smell. There are a couple hotels down the block that advertise the lower price. Who knows, maybe those are even worse.

This place should be condemned...no exaggeration at all. Blood on the ground by entry door that was unlocked, but should have been locked. Room was filthy, tub grout had thick layer of mold. When I went to shut the curtains, they looked like Swiss cheese, seriously...I had to laugh. We immediately used the wifi to find a better place, and got lucky to find a great deal on a marriot 10 minutes down the road. After about 45 minutes of fear we checked out and left to three people getting arrested, with cop cars littering the parking lot. Please, don't even waste your time with this place...we took pictures of the curtains just to show people because we didn't think they would believe us! Scary stuff! Beware. Not even worth one star, seriously.

Room ok for the price. Dirty in alot of hallways but service people ate ok .

This hotel will probably be fantastic--when they're done fixing everything that's broken. My bath had no faucet. The shower would not provide cold water, and the hot water was scaldingly hot. Had to take a sponge-bath using the bathroom sink. The pillows provided were the best I have ever encountered in any hotel at any price. The pool had no water in it. The kiddie-pool had debris in it. Carpet needed fixing. This was obviously a low-rent hotel. I'll never stay there again.

My stay began on the wrong foot as after driving around for 30 minutes to find a "Howard Johnson" I was advised that the sign actually read "St Michael Plaza Hotel" because this was newly acquired property. That would be nice to know when the room is booked! Also, the first room I was offered was crawling with roaches...and it felt as if the staff previously knew this, as there was no inquiry or visible concern when they hastily booked me a new room. Overall the building is functional but in need of repair and updating. The room smelled musty and of cigarette smoke but appeared fairly clean. However I did not expect the Ritz Carlton since I paid $65 on a night when a lot of hotels were sold out.

First we could not find it, there is not a sign that says Howard Johnson. When got to the room it was cool inside, and the carper was fairly new, however that was all that was good. there was old blood on the pillow cases, what looked like poo on the walls, torn upholstery on the couch, no chair of any kind. The bathroom was nasty with more poo under thee blow drier, mildew on the shower. and the ceiling tiles are about to fall out. AVOID this place like a bad decrease.

We booked this room through a travel site and while the reviews weren't great we decided to give this place a try. "How bad could it be?" we said, very bad. The walls had scuff marks and hadn't been painted in years. The Bathroom was missing several Ceiling Tiles exposing the plumbing work. The room was very moist and had a stale order. The Curtains didn't even function correctly as we were only able to open one side of the window to look out. We couldn't even use the pool as it was drained as well as the indoor Hot Tub. Considering the weather being in the high 80's we were expecting the pool to be open. Another thing which we found interesting was that the name of this Hotel isn't properly marked which caused us to drive by it not even knowing it was there in the busy intersection. All in all, this was a bad stay for us, if not for the Relay event that was taking place that weekend and this room being pre-booked we would have for sure stayed elsewhere. Thank God we had allot planned and spent little time in the room while in Austin.

fixtures were old and broken, hall way was full of leaves each day i stayed there, hot tub was out of service, pool was green, full of debris and "closed for the season," saw a cockroach in our room

I was completely disgusted by the room carpet as well as items that were found there. I can't believe that this hotel is on anyone's list for a stay.
