"The hotel was a fairly new property. It had a contemporary vibe which I like. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and I wanted to know where they bought the pillows - they were that nice. The room was clean but there was a large brown stain on the carpet. The breakfast was as expected but even at close to 10:00 there was still ample food to choose from - bagels, fruits, yogurt, waffles, sausage, eggs. I would gladly return if in the area. Oh, and the young man at the desk was awfully helpful. If correct, I believe his name is Liquit."

"Very functional hotel with basic breakfast and a nice quiet park nearby, 20 minutes from Downtown Austin. I stayed in both a basic room with a queen bed, and a suite (they turned out to be identical), around the Texas Eclipse in April 2024. Pros: * Even the most basic room is very functional: desk and ergonomic chair for computer work, mini-fridge, microwave, couch, comfortable bed * Basic breakfast until 9am: microwaveable burritos and biscuits, hard boiled eggs, milk and cereal, apples, oranges, coffee, juice * Very helpful staff (held onto my luggage, received packages, printed labels, extended my reservation several times) * Nice quiet park to walk or jog in, 3 minutes away by foot (the MetCenter Hike & Bike trail). Hardly anybody there every time I went. * Small fitness room with 3 cardio machines * $8 shuttle service to the airport, plus free pickup from the airport * The elevator now works Cons: * The WiFi was extremely fast in the lobby, but on the 3rd floor - unstable, and would disconnect briefly several times per hour. Like most other hotels, WiFi also kicks you out 2+ times a day, and you have to login (with the same password). I don't really get the point of this, and if the logout happens during a video call, you're screwed until you reconnect 💥, OR if you're on your phone, it goes on data and chews up bandwidth to handle the video. Microtel, please stop this dumb practice. * The TV's WiFi worked only on day one (so other devices could connect and cast to it), and never since then. * The area doesn't have anything interesting within a 5-minute walk, but is a ~15-minute Uber ride to downtown Austin. Ubers take ~5 minutes to arrive. So consider 20 minutes to get to Downtown. * Walls aren't the thickest so I could hear the neighbors bumping things into them, but overall both rooms were quiet. * The mattress was a tiny bit squeaky * Breakfast ends at 9am. Other places have breakfast until 10am. * The suite may be slightly bigger but I didn't see ANY advantage vs. the basic room. Really not worth the price difference. Exactly the same layout and furniture. Not sure why they charge more for it."

"The express hotel is old and the facilities are aging, which is expected. This is the second time I checked in. I didn't expect that there was a problem with the hygiene. On the first night, for unknown reasons, I had more than ten mosquito bites on my arms and legs. This lasted for two days. Zhou Cai gradually improved..."

"Because of the epidemic, the breakfast is average but the nutrition is very good. The service staff is very cold and a little ignorant. Other feelings are okay."

"We are staying here for a short time after sending our children to school. In a strange city and country, we need a hotel that is comfortable, friendly, close to the school, and has a large space. This store fit our needs perfectly and the decor and generosity of the great Texas decor is evident in many ways. The room is quite large. The one we stayed in is on the second floor and has the largest terrace. It is a particularly slow-paced enjoyment to watch the cars passing by in the morning and evening, and to look at the University Bell Tower in the distance. Breakfast is all you can eat, service is good"

"The hotel does not have breakfast, but hot water and coffee are available, and a microwave is available in the lobby. The hotel has free parking. The hotel is on the side of the road, a bit noisy at night"

"Perfect!! New and SPOTLESS room. Yes, a little small for American standards but more than enough for a short stay. Good breakfast, with healthy options (fruit, good yogurt, omelettes)… my husband would have liked more options but I had to remember him that it’s a 2-star hotel. It did not seem like that, but above 😊 Body soap, shampoo, condicioning and body cream. The only thing that I missed was a hairdryer… I have brought one just in case from some others 2-star hotels reviews. I didn’t ask but I am pretty sure that they would have provided one at your request. The room also had an iron & iron table. Very kind personnel. And… kids stay for free!! We are a family of three but even better deal for a family of four!! Close to the highway, 15-20 min driving to Capitol and downtown… and perfect location to explore the sorroundings!!"

"Overall OK, but there is a corridor and room smell, poor sound insulation, there is noise on the road outside, not too recommended"

"Come to Austin mainly to see the UT campus where the children used to study. The hotel is not far from the campus. The hotel staff is warm and the room is clean and tidy. The fly in the ointment is that the air conditioner in the room is split. The sound is too loud when booting, affecting the living feeling."
