The check in process was wonderful everyone was nice and friendly. The room needs some cosmetic work. Only disappointed part was the check out process the door was locked so I had to go to the window the never looked backed so I tapped on the glass they looked at me and kept talking so disrespectful. Other that that I loved having a full refrigerator and large microwave with a stove the room was just a little small but worth the price.

I asked for a plunger to fix a clogged toilet. They did not have one. I needed to use the restroom. The toilet over flowed and I had use my personal towels to clean up. I was also promised a clean room once per week, it was never done. It is obviously a management problem.

Upon first night, the entire room was dirty. The floors covered in debris and dead cockroaches. The bed covered in debris and the bedding torn and raggish. The towels were mysteriously stained and the shower was grimy.
The climate control also only blew one temperature and speed no matter how you changed the settings.
I thought maybe the unit would would be cleaned over the course of my week long stay, but it never once did.

This motel shouldn’t be in business. The second you step in it smells of mold and mildew. They had all sorts of leaks happening. You step on the floor and you can see water start to seep up from the floorboards. We couldn’t even walk around without shoes because of how wet the floors got. Besides that there were roaches, everything was rusting and the bedding wasn’t clean (so much so we didn’t even want to get under the covers). The cherry on top being the doors not being sealed properly so you can see everything in the room through the side crack of the door.
This place really needs to shut down and do all sorts of renovations and repairs before allowing people and guest to stay here.

Even though we selected a nonsmoking room, our room smelled of cigarette smoke terribly. We checked in so late that we just stayed. The second night, we asked the front desk if there was any way we could change rooms and they were not very polite. They said they had no rooms for us to move to. Then we asked if we could check out and get a refund since the room was not what we paid for. We were told no.

Do. Not. Stay. Here.

Stayed here for F1 weekend with my partner. This is the most disgusting "hotels" that either of us have ever stayed in. Tried to check in early so we could drop our bags off in the room but were told we can't do that because they have to make sure the room is clean. OK sure, reasonable. But then we finally get into the room and the bed sheets were stained, towels stained and used looking, the sink had hairs and markings all over it, same with the toilet. We saw multiple bugs dead and alive including ROACHES. Our feet turned black from walking on the floor for five seconds, there was no shower curtain when we arrived so wondering...what was the reason for the wait if it was not even going to be clean? Considering the state of the rest of the room and property in general we didn't dare use any of the kitchenette. My partner was propositioned by a prostitute while waiting outside for an uber and i was hollered at by other creepy guests. There's so much more to say but hopefully this helps anyone from making the same mistake we did.

We got there 1.5 hours after allowed check in. Staff seemed confused about what room to put us in.. I think they gave us a room that is normally intended for monthly renters or someone just moved out. It smelled of bleach, toxic cleaning chems, and floor was sticky when we arrived. The paint was stained and peeling, only one of 2 stove tops worked, the electrical outlets were worn out, the beds had no blankets or comforters.. and the front door was hard to open and close okay, no big deal right? One or two roaches came out the first night.. okay, not great.. second night dozens of roaches came out. Couldn’t find another hotel as it was F1 weekend. They moved us to another room far away from roach room 201. New room only had 1 cockroach so that was a huge improvement. Now reading many Google reviews this has been going on for some time -for some reason the person at the front desk acted surprised. The staff was nice.. not sure if I acutely rated them with 3 stars. But I think they were aware they putting us in a roach infested room, hence the confusion. Lastly, with the neighboring transients and weekly/ monthly renters my daughter did not feel safe being outside the room.

The bathroom floor was sunken in, likely from water damage. There were roaches (live and dead). The ceiling had water damage. The AC unit burned out easily and wouldn’t consistently stay on.

Roaches, Garbage Piked High & Transients

Walked in the too and there were live roaches crawling on the floor! I took photos! I cried! It was a long trip to attend my son’s wedding! I went back to the front desk and told her, retuned the key. The garbage was piled very high in every stairwell! A drugged up male was dancing around, “singing”, etc. He “lives” there. I took an uber to a Hyatt! I had to change clothes in there. o by ladie’s room, due to being almost late to my own son’s waiting!!
I needed clean, safe & affordable accommodations, this hotel failed!!!I want a refund! I am on SS Disability and need every penny! What a disappointment!!! My son had to pay for my new room since I had no $$$! Now I have to pay him back! This place should be labeled, “ a drug transient population occupied, roach infested, definitely bedbugs, garbage piled to the ceiling, with a young nice helpless to help employee”!

This place was horrible. Dogs and cats everywhere. Dog in room 214 every night and I mean every night would whine and cry for at least an hour at same time. Roaches, dirty floors, dirty towels (every one), no wash clothes, stove top rusty, rude desk clerks, old soap and hairs left in rest room, rooms torn up (room 142 had visible mold) had too move to room 214 next to crying dog. People living in their car in the parking lot. Trash full and not emptied my whole stay.

I couldn’t enter my room because a man was hanging around my door. When I asked him to give me some space, he got upset. A woman should never attempt to enter her room when a strangers refuses to give her space. The front desk at the motel, did not agree with me and told me to contact Expedia. I contacted Expedia and Expedia said I have to contact the front desk at the motel. I explained the front desk told me to contact you. I contacted the dispute department for Red Roof. The dispute department contacted the front desk at the motel. While I was on the phone with the dispute department, the front desk employee approached me and was very upset about all the calls she is receiving from Expedia and the dispute department. They heard her get verbally aggressive with me and threaten me. She told me I needed to leave the property in 30 minutes and she was calling the police. I told her, I think calling the police is a good idea. She never called the police and I ended up calling the police because I was afraid of what she was going to do to me. If I’m carrying my luggage, I’m very vulnerable of being attacked. She called me on my phone and was furious I called the police. The police typically don’t escort people, but they agreed to dispatch the call. I had to pack up and leave immediately. In addition, I couldn’t use the stairs because there was a homeless person sleeping on them.

Give it a pass

The toilet overflowed into the room and the front desk refused to provide a plunger. Once the maintenance man came we had heated words. Dealing with sewage all over the floor didn't help things. They refused to give me a refund and said I had to leave. No help or recourse from them, so yes I was angry. Hotels.com covered it and I am grateful for having them on my side. If you stay here, make sure you use a 3rd party.

The front staff were very nice and let me cancel my stay. The rooms were not clean. There was unknown stains on the bedding. The rooms reeked of cigarette smoke. It was not a safe neighborhood for a woman alone. All in all I would not suggest the place. However the staff was very nice when I asked for a refund. Perhaps if you are on a budget and are not a woman traveling alone, then one could stay here. Again, the staff were very nice.

This property was extremely dirty. The bed sheets and bed covers had spots. There was dirt all around the room. It needed deep dusting. When we walked in the room it smelled bad. There was no curtain in the shower. When I asked for shower curtain, it was handed to me and asked me to put on my own. They had 1 iron for the entire hotel. It seems people stole all the irons. The stairs, hallway, everything was dingy. The whole building needed a deep clean and thorough wash inside out. I do not recommend anyone ever to use this hotel

I have been staying here for a while. I've never had an issue with staff or any of the residents here. If there ever was an issue with my room I was immediately apologized to and the front desk put me into another room right away.

People have to be realistic, this is extended living hotel. So you can't expect certain things to be new right away just because you are going to be in the room. It's people that move out after being here for a while and all the staff can do at the time is clean the room in order to have it ready for you to stay .

To sum it up I appreciate having somewhere to live and I also appreciate the staff . And their are some nice people that live on this property.

Poor service and overbooked

The receptionist was unprofessional and said that I did not make the reservation with them; they were full and did not have a room to assign to me. She did not offer any other solution to the problem other than we had no rooms available and that they had been overbooked all day. Other customers were turned away with the same excuse of no rooms available. I had to drive another 20-plus minutes to get to another hotel with a room available. I am disappointed with the reservation process. The other party that checked in told me that the place was not clean, it was old and dated with poor lighting.

Unfortunately, never again

Lodging was very scarce in Austin the one night that we needed to stay here. It was either pay $600 a night for hotel room at a known location or try this place for $70 a night. I have never stayed in a hotel where there are actually dead cockroaches on the floor and in the bathroom. Even worse when we turned on the lights roaches scattered, we had to empty all of our bags before reloading them into our car and removed no fewer than four roaches in each one of our hotel bags. The linens were nice and clean and so was the microwave.
