Good value

Needed a hotel last minute---this place was not only affordable and conveniently located, but it was comfortable as well. The price matches what you get---it is not over priced as many other places offering the same type of room might be.

very basic but good

We were pleasantly surprised to find this hotel, in the middle of ones costing twice to three times as much, to be very comfortable. The staff that we dealt with was very friendly and helpful.

The Plaza Austin's best kept secret, do tell

Hotel not terrible but, when I first arrived and wanted a hot shower, there was no hot water. I turned the faucet on and let it run for several minutes. Nothing. I finally called the desk and they sent maintenance man who said "just let it run for several minutes, see it's getting hot" It did get hot but, in a town where there has been a drought you think they'd want to fix that. Ice machine right by the room did not work. Being next to Bikini's was a convenience, food was decent and sports tv's everywhere. Not terrible for the price.

Gross and scary!!!!!

Went to Austin for a half marathon. Arrived at the hotel to realize it was packed with people in loud motorcycles and show cars hanging out listening to loud music. My mother didn't even want to get out the car!!!! We went into the room and only got worse. I took my shoes off (worst idea ever) my feet were black by the time I made it to the bed. Yea that's how dirty the carpet was! Disgusting! The room smelled like cigarettes (front desk told us we weren't allowed to smoke) We are not smokers and can't stand the smell!!!! I could keep going about this place so to make it short overall, the whole room was gross!!!! We stayed 10 min, called to get my money back and left. Will never ever be back to that place!

Excellent accommodations for the price!

The room was cleaner than some four star hotels I have stayed at for twice the price. The beds were comfy and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They even called the room after we checked in to make sure everything was alright! Don't usually get that kind of customer service in more expensive accommodations. The only negative was very low water pressure in the shower, but overall great stay. Right off the freeway and convenient access to shopping, restaurants, and fun things to do and see.

Entertainment tip: Short drive from hotel

Old School Bar and Grill on Sixth street had delicious real (no pressed patties)chicken fried steak made from New York Strip and yummy garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. We sat upstairs on the patio and were able to people watch while we dined and drank $3 Crown and cokes! Great food, drinks and atmos for great price!
