La Quinta Inn Austin Capitol - Austin 30.27211, -97.73851

I stay at this hotel every time I go to Austin alone. It's very convenient, as it's only 5 blocks (walking distance!) from 6th Street. It has free internet, and you don't need to enter any passwords or anything. The place is clean, the hotel staff is helpful, and there is complimentary breakfast. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who plans to spend their trip in and around downtown Austin.

Our room was clean, very spacious and brightly appointed for the money. Front desk service was prompt, cordial and cooperative. Breakfast room was large, and food was ample and of good variety. We were caught by surprise that parking is valet only, $13 per day, for what is usually a motel operation. That I don't think was advertised when we booked the room and was an annoyance.

We stayed at this hotel Halloween weekend. The rooms had just been remodeled and looked very nice. The location to the Capitol was the reason we stayed there and it was only a 1-1/2 block walk. The staff could not have been any nicer and they were very helpful.

The only thing I liked was their continental breakfast. The followings are the things I did't like. 1) It was not very clean. There was no waste basket in the room. 2) Even I booked a non-smoking room, I could still smell it. 3) The hotel was near the street, it was very noisy. 4) The receptionists were not friendly.

there was only one thing missing from the room: the top of the coffee machine wasn't there...the coffee machine worked, but took some creativity to brew in the morning

The first room I was booked in had water coming up from the bathroom floor. The second room that I slept in was filthy-had not been vacuumed (I picked up long black hair from the carpet as well as the bathroom floor) My hair is short & gray. There were cookie crumbs on the end tables, the bathtub had hair in it and the shower curtain was tainted with mildew, the towels were Not clean. I refused to take a shower and almost gagged trying to brush my teeth. Margot T.

We simply needed a hotel room within a reasonable budget for a one night stay and within walking distance of downtown Austin and the university. This hotel fit our needs. Very easy to walk, 2 blocks away from capital, less than a mile from UT campus. Felt fairly safe walking in the evening.

Parking fee was totally unexpected, since this is not downtown Austin. Everything else was fine.

bugs.... bad shower that doesnt drain good location only stay during sxsw or acl

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was well kept and clean. And the hotel is very conveniently located in the heart of Austin, making it very easy to get to and from all the local concert venues and restaurants. The free parking was a big plus, too.

Nice hotel and great location - my son and I went to the Longhorns opening game that weekend. It was nice being just next to the state capital.

Could have been a little better but wasnt too bad. Service was nice all around from the front desk to valet. The walls aren't very sound proof, could hear the room of girls next to my room which was rather annoying when you're trying to sleep in the morning. May stay there again if I have to.

Very nice employees, clean rooms - great location.

Did not like that parking was an additional cost and was valet only.

3 Blocks from world famous Stubb's BBQ restaurant. 5 blocks from 6th Street bars and restaurants. You can park and walk everywhere. There is even a Whole Foods near the hotel. Front desk staff is helpful, especially Renee. And concierge are very helpful also.

It was pretty good for the price and it was only a block away from the capital. My particular room had a little problem with road noise so ask for a room away from street if you are a light sleeper. They have a decent breakfast but the workout room leaves much to be desired. The pool was small but clean and not crowded.

Nice room, good breakfast. Had to pay extra per day for parking.

Needs improved maintenance, painting, looks , unkept.

Staff was very nice. We werent leaving our room until that night - so when housekeeping came, we just asked for some new towels. Housekeeping was awesome - very nice lady - and being able to communicate with them in English was very nice! Its Valet parking only - and even though the guys were great, it was money that I would have rather not spent. The rooms were clean. My only complaint being that the tub was clogged. ew. The noise outside was actually really bad....but with the A/C on, it wasnt as noticeable and things did slow down/become quiet at night. Well, except for Saturday. Lots of kids coming back after the bars closed at 2am.......that was obnoxious.

Older hotel with average amenities. Hated having to pay $14 for parking each night which wasn't clear at all before I checked in. Really ups the rates. Also, only valet parking was available which is a pain. The valets were helpful, however.

The room I stayed in had bed bugs. I have bites all over my arms and back. The hotel promised to give us a free night stay at any La Quinta nation wide but we have not received that compensation. I have left messages with the general manager and he has not returned my call. Avoid this hotel at all cost!

The parking fee is never revealed ... this should be disclosed up front with the room charge fees. You should not have to call the hotel to find this out when trying to book on line. The parking fee/ valet only, was reasonable.

My hotel room was pretty nice. Could have used a little more attentive cleaning. There was hair from previous guests in the bathroom. Other than that, the room was great. The valet parking was kind of a pain as the attendent moved like he was Zippy the Wonder Slug. And the lobby of the hotel smelled like someone had just finished using the restroom when we walked in. The great thing about the hotel is the location. It is close to 6th Street and convenient.

Although it's intially hard to get into the hotel, it's nice to know my car is taken care of 24/7 and I'm walking distanc from any point in ATX. I can leave my car there, walk to the nearest CVS, to the capital, or 6th street and not have to worry about the hassle or expenses of parking. The hotel is great! Clean and had a refridgerator and microwave. Elevators on ground and in lobby. They make sure even the night owls like myself are quiet and polite and they take that seriously. I definately plan on staying here again everytime I'm in ATX.

The location to sixth street is what drew me to this hotel along with it's price. But If you want more amenities and a cooked breakfast in the morning. Take a taxi to sixth st. and get a HIE, or better hotel nearby. Overall, it did it's purpose. Breakfast is main complaint though. Just used to a better one.

Pulling into the place doesn't knock your socks off - it should be characterized as a Motel - but my room was surprisingly nice. I think they have renovated the rooms recently. I loved the huge outdoor pool and the location is great. The Capital is literally a block away and there are great restaurants within walking distance too.

My hotel experience was tainted by 3 main things: 1) the room was poorly insulated and extremely humid and damp. when we unpacked our clothes at home in Houston, they were still damp. 2) there was mandatory valet parking at the price of $12.99. 3) someone attempted to break into my car by unsuccessfully prying open my driver side door. i uncovered this when my window starting leaking water on the drive home in the rain. i went to the dealership, they immediately saw evidence of what happened. i called la quinta and found out they have security for their parking garage on Friday and Saturday nights, but not Sunday (we stayed on a Sunday night only). fyi - i don't consider my 2006 acura TSX a car that most people would want to steal. anyway, everything else was fine. but i won't stay there again b/c of the lack of security and damp room.

Our second stay here and we'll stay again when needed. It's not much on "fancy", however, they provide clean rooms and professional service. For the room rate, it's a good deal!

It was suitable and comfortable enough. No issues at all. But it lacks some comfort that the embassy and courtyard in downtown do. I would stay again def if others are booked.

This hotel is fine if you really need to be near the capitol. Nothing fancy, no great amenities. But the rooms are clean and not too expensive.

This is the second time we've stayed here, and we'll choose it again. The rooms are perfectly fine, the bathrooms are nice tile, and the front desk, custodial and valet folks are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good and there are many options. The woman in charge hovers around to make sure everything stays stocked. This La Quinta is only a couple of blocks from the Capitol building and other great tourist things and is very easy to access off the highway. I would definitely recommend this La Quinta.

ad stated the hotel had been renovated. It was filthy, needed paint and carpets. To cover the smell exorbitant amounts of room deodorants were used. No smoking is great, but the deodorants would set off anyone's allergies much worse than a smoke filled room would have.

Expensive for what you get, but the location is great for our purposes.

Manager went out of hiw way to be helpful, so were valet drivers. Front staff were young and rude.

people were friendly. Room was quiet. breakfast satisfactory.

i think the valet only parking is ridiculous. front desk employee could have been more friendly. room had a nasty smell. saw a roach and a waterbug in my room.

great location for capital. not worth the money, way over priced. carpet fresh smell gave me a headach, very strong!dirty bathtub.

Very nice hotel. Concenient to Capitol. I thought it was walking distance to 6th street but took taxi back for under $5.00.

My non-smoking room had a smoke smell to it. Putting a 'nonsmoking'label on a room does not make it nonsmoking.

This was in a perfect location for our needs. Walking to the university. The staff was very helpful and the continental breakfast was good. Especially the texas shaped waffles Would recommend to anyone at any time.
