The hotel staff was very rude. I booked the hotel a month in advance then called that same day to make sure that they could have us in a bottom room since I had my to older in~laws with me they said yes then I called a week before I checked in to make sure they were able to give us a bottom room they said Yes. When we arrived they said no rooms was available on the bottom floor also check in was at 2pm I got there around 3:30pm so it's not as if I was super late getting there... Also they had a group of 5 people in the parking lot pass 11pm each night I stayed being loud drinking and so on... But I'll also say that for a small town little motel It was very clean. I won't be back to stay due to how rude the owner was to us when telling us he didn't have a bottom floor I would have still been upset not as much if he could have been kind about the issue. That itself would have went along way with me... Being kind doesn't cost anything in life.

Booked 2 nights here traveling for the festival, prices were hiked per night, but that is understandable during this time of the year. Arrived to the room, clearly used to be bedding from a smoking room as it had burn holes in it. Overall was clean other than all the hair in the tub and shower. But not bad for a budget hotel, just wear shower shoes. Where it really got bad started at 7 an with housekeeping banging on the door. I told them no thank you and went back to sleep. Around 9:30, I heard the door, with no knock whatsoever, so one used both the card key and the physical key to open my door. Luckily I had the chain on, but\"housekeeping\" opened the door, saw me naked, closed the door when I yelled and then opened it again to\"apologize.\" I immediately got dressed and went to the lobby to complain, only to be called a liar. It took my husband getting involved to at least get us an apology from management. Please, to anyone, do not stay there. I hope no other women have been barged in on like that.

The day itself was fine. I would have enjoyed having the room cleaned or have had more towels to use besides one face towel that I had to use both nights. The parking lot is lit up. The rooms are clean so I enjoyed that. I travel often so checking into a hotel is normal for me however having a smiling face to check in with also is normal for me. I am not saying everyone has to have a smile, however in business when someone is spending money with you you tend to show your appreciation with a smile. Now that had nothing to do with the stay and I will stay again, so yes, I approve this hotel.

The hotel room is horrible - the “white” towels are dirty and look yellow; the microwave does not work and in order to turn it on, it needs to be unplugged and only number 2 or 3 works to start it; the AC until leaked water on the floor overnight; the sheets were with holes; the room was full of cricket and there was a cockroach in the dog’s water bowl. Spend more money and stay at a better hotel.

No breakfast or anything - the front office door remained LOCKED in the morning too. The staff smiled but it was absolutely not genuine.

The property was okay! The lawn had been mowed but was covered in stickers! My dog couldn’t walk on it! It appeared that they had renovated, but didn’t scrape anything down before they painted so the underlayment was showing through the paint. There was hair on the floor of the bathroom, and in the bathtub. They put us in a room across from the vending machine, which was beside the ice machine. It dropped ice every 15 minutes all night long.

Take your money elsewhere and pay more for a better stay elsewhere. Let me preface this by stating that I travel alot and usually stay in Motel 6's so I've seen some pretty bad motels. This tops the list for the worst stay I've had. I debated on sleeping in my car. The room was just a bedsheet, no comforter. When I was checking out, I was accused of stealing a comforter by the family who owns this hotel. Why would I take a bed bug infested comforter with me?
I'm guessing this is a scam tactic to get people to pay for more supplies for them. After I opted them to look through my car for a \"comforter\" that I never received, they said \"oh, no it's OK. No worries.\" worst stay ever at a hotel. Will not be back, and will tell everyone who passes through to avoid this motel at all costs.

Not sure what that $20 pet fee is for considering.

Front desk help was unprofessional and did not wear a mask. Carpeting in the room was greasy feeling and stained - which was surprising considering that the front desk told me that the $20 pet fee was for \"deep cleaning the carpets.\" The furniture had been DEVOURED by a dog at some point, so pieces of the MDF flaked off every time something touched it. Shower was weak, and the complimentary shampoo bottle appeared to have been reused. Towels were thin and stained. AC didn't work properly, would only stay on a moment before turning off and staying off until you manually turned it off and back on.

Great little discount hotel

Very good hotel, room was clean, staff was very courteous. Booked too many nights and shortened my reservation and they cheerfully refunded my extra night.

The town has no restaurants open after around 9pm so make sure to plan accordingly. The town also is famous for smelling like oil, as there are wells are all round it, so know that the smell is from that!

After our first hotel reservation was cancelled due to a \"broken pipe\" a week before our stay, we were assigned to this place because there were no more hotels in Austin for those dates due to the F1 GP.

First of all it was not a hotel but a MOTEL.We found broken, torn and dirty chairs, walls in bad condition with peeling paint, wooden furniture affected by weevils, corroded and sulfated sink faucets, microwave and mini bar fridge dripping with food debris, rusted doors and in general a health hazard for the guests.

The reservation was supposed to include breakfast, but at the front desk they only provided coffee of dubious quality.

We suggest that you remove this place from your list to prevent other guests from having the same bad experience we had.

Nice but paid too much

The place was a safe place to lay your head. We over paid but I assume it was because there was no availability less than an hour all around Austin (big event for weekend) which made me book an hour away. I just wish prices didn’t fluctuate so much due to events. We paid $180 for this after tax but this is an easy average $70 night hotel.

Even at my lowest expectations I was still disapoi

My wife and I travel quite a lot with skydiving. We have stayed at Coachway Inn on multiple occasions in the past. We do not care that it is not a 5 star facility. What is important to us is that the room is clean, the bed is comfortable and there is a shower. I began using the Hotels.com app, for it's ease of access, and I am so busy it is easier to pop open the app and make reservations. This time, there was a problem. We suddenly had to change plans and the app would not preform. I called the Coachway, and explained to them there was an urgent situation and we would not make it for one of the nights we booked. This was given greater than 24 hrs in advance. When we finally arrived, we were presented with a bill that included the night we cancelled. I recognized the voice of the young man, and told him he was the one I spoke with, and he even called me back to re-verify my changed booking. I seem to realize, he is the new management. Long story short, I was still charged the extra night because I booked thru Hotels.com, and some sort of excuse about expedia.. NOT HAPPY...so I lost fourty-whatever dollars..which only ruined the less than par ambience...and made it even more infuriating to listen to the chatter of people drinking by the ice machine. The whole experience has weakened confidence in Hotels.com and Coachway inn. So..this may be the end for you both.. One of the poeple we traveled with even left early due to his disatisfaction with the hotel and staff

Bogus Charges will Appear in Your Card

I have been to this place a few times. I will never go back. The proprietor has tried to add extra charges on my room the day after I leave. Both times he says it is a \"pet charge.\" There has never been a pet with me during my stays. This time I have to do a dispute with my credit card. Last time he just gave me an adjustment then turned around and tried to do the same bogus charges again.

Pros: Friendly and easy check in. Convenient to Old Settlers Festival. Bathroom was clean. TV, WiFi and A/C worked and it was nice having a small refrigerator and microwave in the room.
Cons: The chairs need to be burned or thrown out. Stains and tears on them. I didn’t even want to put anything of mine on them. Disgusting. No coffee maker in room, so I brought my own. Lighting is not great. Either too bright or too dark depending on which overhead recessed light is on. Needs a bedside lamp or wall sconce with a soft light bulb. Just my opinion. Otherwise it was fine for a weekend stay.
