Great Birthday Weekend!

This hotel is a "keeper". It is up-to-date in every way and has a larger breakfast and breakfast room than most medium-priced lodgings. They even have dessert in the lobby every night from 6-9. The staff is friendly and unusually helpful. If we get the opportunity to come back to Austin, we'd gladly stay here again.

A great place to stay

This motel is somewhat isolated -- no restaurants and/or stores nearby, but it's close to where my daughter lives, so it suited us. We appreciated the complimentary full-variety breakfast and use of computers and mini-store. The rooms were very clean and spacious and comfortable, the staff very friendly, and housecleaning excellent.

Good clean hotel.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good: toast, cereal, waffles, eggs, bacon and mini burgers. No sausages. They also had a small library and a DVD collection. The downside is its location. Downtown is a 10 minutes drive. Also, even though the bed sheets were clean, they felt cheap ( as in a little rough). The pillows were fine.

Best Place To Stay

We always have a great stay at this Super 8 location. It is always clean, staff is always nice and friendly, rooms are comfortable and spacious as well as the goodies they give you as a free perk for staying. Friday night they brought out a chocolate cake for the guests to indlulge in - it was great. They had the UT game playing in the lobby for guests to watch. We had a refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot in the room, 46" flat screen TV, ceiling fans and cold A/C. The king bed was wonderful and you have several pillows to choose from. The baths are spacious and the shower was good. They have a robe you can wear after your shower and if you are interested in buying it they tell you how to obtain one.

Pappadeaux, Pappasitos are very close drive. Texas Roadhouse is within driving distance, Lubys is close as well as Ihop and Denny's. Close to the University of Texas, Highway 290 & Hwy 35.

Wonderful Surprise!

I chose this hotel based on good review and price but never expected that it would turn out to be such a great experience! Everything was very clean and there were personal touches everywhere (public and private areas) that showed the owners were trying to make it a special place-like naming the various floors and suites, etc. I've never seen so many TV's-strategically placed by the elevators on each floor and even in the elevator! They not only had a special movie channel playing a recent movie over and over but they also had DVD players in the rooms and had DVD's available to check out for free! The bed was very comfy (not too hard and not too soft) with a variety of pillows to choose from. The breakfast was also exceptional. They not only offered the make-your-own-waffles, in addition to the standard cereal, toast, bagels, muffins, yoghurt, etc., but they also had peanut butter, fruit cups, two types of eggs, bacon & sausage biscuits and more. I really liked that they offered mini sizes on many of the items like bagels, fruit cups, muffins, etc. because that way I could try a variety of items without wasting a lot of food and consuming too many calories. Since the hotel was 100% non-smoking and I was glad to note that they seemed to take very seriously) I thought it was very nice that they had provided a little "Smoker's Heaven" gazebo out back for people who need it. They also had a couple of video game systems for use but we didn't have time to play so I'm not sure if they were Wii or Xbox but something like that. A mini "store" offered snacks and other stuff for sale but when my husband realized he had forgotten his toothbrush, they happily provided us with a complimentary replacement. Overall we were both incredibly impressed by this nice little hotel that was both affordable and enjoyable and have already recommended it to several friends.

Time-saving tip: Short drive from hotel

It was easy to avoid the sometimes horrendous Austin traffic because this hotel was located away from the main highway (IH-35) but yet still close to some through streets that allowed us to take the "back ways" to our destination and still make good time in a less stressful manner.

Great Hotel!

We traveled to Austin for the SXSW Festival. The hotel was maybe a 10 minute drive from downtown where the festival was being held. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel its self and the room were very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. I was definitely surprised how nice the hotel was for the price. The pool and hot tub were nice as well! I will definitely stay there again the next time I'm in Austin!!

Stay Here! It's Amazing!

What a wonderful place to stay! Our hotel room was very clean. The owners of this hotel are obviously extremely detail oriented. I had read lots of great reviews and still had my doubts, because of the reputation of the Super 8 hotels being a "sleep cheap" kind of place. My fears were completely unfounded. The carpets were all brand new. The bed was ultra comfortable. The room had a beautiful flat screen large TV, DVD player, granite in the bathroom, microwave, bathrobe, laundry basket, coffee maker, iron, hair dryer, safe, free snack on arrival, lap desk and teddy with pillow choice selection card. Also, cookies and pound cake were offered at night as a free snack. Little convenience store was very nice but pricey. I had read a couple of reviews talking about bed bugs and hookers. We checked under the mattress and it was as clean as could be. No hookers in the parking lot either. Book your trip and rest assured that your money will be well spent.

Dining tip: In Hotel

Free breakfast was certainly above average. 6 cereal selections, yogurt, fruit, real waffle iron to make your own waffles, microwave sausage biscuits, coffee, juices, hard boiled eggs and scrambled eggs. The bacon was microwaved and did not appear appetizing. That was my only criticism.
