"Pretty good overall"
For the price it was good. Pluses...the free breakfast, the in room coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave. The room was clean and everything worked well. The only negative was I did see one roach in the bathroom on my last day. That was not good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Very adequate!"
I'm always concerned at what I'm going to find in hotels like this but I thought it was very adequate for the price. I found none of the horror stories to be true in my case.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"plumbing on vacation"
The rooms were clean but smelt moldy, the toilet didn't flush, had to repair the flush valve, the a/c didn't blow very hard, other than that the lady and gentleman at the front desk were both pleasant, and my stay was ok.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close toevent"
The price was perfect. We didn't have huge expectations, but was pleasantly suprised. The only problem we had was the a/c didn't work as well as other hotels we have stayed at in the past.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Close to downtown"
We basically just went to experience 6th street and this was a great location for that, because it was about 5 mins away and very easy to get to and from. I would stay here again. The only thing was when booking it said you would get a complimentary tote and VIP coupon book for the outlets and when I called the front desk to ask they said they had never […] heard of that promotion.

"Ok"
Conveniently located, but I felt squeezed in the room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awesome value - awesome location"
We almost avoided this place because of bad (horrible!) reviews, but we're so glad we went to see it anyway. Maybe the renovation has come a lot further since some of these reviews, because our room was great. There were a couple of things that need touching up, but the important stuff was all there. And the location is really good if you're planning […] to hang in South Austin! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Horrible Customer Service"
The front desk was very rude. She was talking on the hotel phone as her own personal use. She would get frustrated anytime we asked her a question because that meant she had to stop talking to whoever she was talking to over the phone. The walls inside the room were all cracked. The walls weren't even the same color! Every wall had a different color...which […] makes no sense. I guess you get what you paid for, cheap hotels will only provide cheap service.

Condition of the hotel isn't that great but the service was awesome!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"OK for what it is."
We stayed at this hotel for the ACL festival. It was close enough and a decent, right off the highway, location. The hotel itself is very old and kind of gross. Do NOT believe the website when it says "newly remodeled". The tiny bathroom had mildew all over the ceiling, the ironing board (which hangs in the tiny bathroom) had mildew on the bottom of […] it, there was no iron, the comforter had lipstick marks on it, and there were burn holes in the comforter and the blankets. We really just needed a place to sleep and shower, and since we're not super picky, it worked. If you are easily grossed out or only like newer hotels, do NOT stay here. The maids were very friendly but the front desk staff was kind of rude. We asked for another towel set because ours hadn't been replaced even though we took down our "do not disturb" sign and they counted EACH towel to make sure we didn't get an extra washcloth. We're not talking nice towels either, I'm pretty sure we could buy better ones at Big Lots. The next day they took our dirty towels, but didn't give us any more (we had NO towels) and when we called the front desk they made us come down and wanted to verify we weren't given any towels that morning. The beds are pretty hard and horrible. Basically, it worked for what we needed it for, but it might not work for you. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Needs Up Keep"
We stayed at the hotel back in January. We reserved a one bed room for 2 nights. At the time our only complaint was elevator noise and hard beds but we liked the location and price. When we returned to Austin with some friends I reserved a 2 bed room through hotels.com. When we arrived check in was smooth and we headed to our room. When we got to it […] we could not find it. Reason being: the number was no where to be found, missing and never replaced, and the door was wide open. When we entered the room my husband struggled to close and lock the door. I had reserved a non smoking room and received a smoking room on the smoking floor. There were tiles on the bathroom floor that had come off completely and just left there. We almost tripped on one. The wall paper was coming up from the wall and had water stains on it. When I called the front desk he informed me that the hotel was booked and he could not move us to another. We stayed regardless but was not satisfied. We will not stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Crash Pad for a fun weekend"
we stayed here for 3 nights as we had a mini vacation weekend planed in Austin, the hotel is close to everything we wanted to see and easy to get to and connected to back streets so we didnt have to deal with rush hour traffic the rooms are in need of some updating but they are clean the staff is very helpful we never made it to the breakfest but who […] cares with all the great food and things to see in austin the last thing you care about is some hotel breakfest, the pool was nice and the only thing bad i have to say is that they only have 2 king bed rooms the the hole place so if you want one you better plan way head we had a twin bed for the tow of us and it was hard as a rock but it made for some fun cuddle time over all id give it a 4 for price vs what you can expect for that price ,,, is a crash pad nothing more if you want fancy this is not the place we will deffently stay again for a weekend of fun Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Austin HoJo"
Budget hotel. Don't expect anything fancy, just a clean bed, but as you know you get what you pay for. Not bad for a quick stay if you are not planning on staying in the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Never stay at Howard Johnson Austin"
The sheets had blood, room had insects, wall paper peeling off, tiles in the bathroom were missing a fifth of the floor, bad service, they never cleaned our room between nights, just awful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Howard Johnson experience"
The place was nice, comforting and right next to a gasoline station (which was very convinient for us). We needed the hotel for quick shower and sleep routines because we were there for Austin City Limits.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"very shabby and small"
Continental breakfast was very minimal. Cereal and muffins. In the shower most of the water ran out of the drain rather than the shower head. The TV didn't work and we were told the maintenance guy wouldn't be in to fix it until 10 or 11pm. We finally jiggled the little box in back and it started working. Next time I will spend a few more dollars and […] find a nicer place. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
