Rooms not very clean but great locationGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close but Dirty"
It is a great location, walkable to downtown, First street, and the park, but our room was so dirty when we got there. the bathroom was filthy, and room service never showed up the 2 days we were there.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"bad day at this hotel"
The hotel may have been short-staffed as they were short of cleaned rooms at 3pm. They gave me a room - allegedly cleaned - while others were still waiting for their rooms to come available. Walking into the room it looked fine, nice layout, small kitchen, relatively stylish look and properly laid out king-size bed. Problem is I did not check out the […] bathroom before going out for the night. The next morning I found that it obviously had not been cleaned. Hair on the floor and in the tub. The sink and tub both had plugged drains. Very gross to get ready in the morning. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Don't stay!"
Dirty room and noisy.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Budget hotel in the center of it all"
What you see is what you get. I read this in a previous review and would agree. It is nothing special. It is a budget minded hotel in an awesome location. I also wanted the free wi-fi...which they do have. If you just need a bed to sleep in, want the convenience of doing some cooking in your room, be close to the action, and visiting on a shoe string...this […] is your place. Just be fore-warned...if you want your room cleaned daily with fresh towels it will cost $3/day extra. I did not see this anywhere until day 2 (on a sign at the front desk). It was not noted on the website, no one mentioned it to me at check-in. It was just me for 3 nights, so I didn't really care...maybe even liked not having someone come into my room while I was not there. I could make my bed & re-use my towel...I do this at home. No big deal to me. But to another guest it may be, so I mention it here. The bed was very uncomfortable & worn, though. For this reason I will not stay again. I have a hard time tuning out the noise in the hall and sleeping in an unfamiliar bed, to have that bed be uncomfortable is a huge negative, hence the rating of a 1 on comfort. But again, if on a budget and just to sleep in...you can put up with it for a few nights. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Yuck."
I guess you get what you pay for. The air conditioner was broken and made an awful sound every 3 minutes. The staff that "welcomed" me was rude and obviously not happy to see me. The room smelled and shower was disgusting. I think next time I would rather stay at motel 6.Genuine Expedia guest review
"OK only"
The hotel was a convenient location - which is why we chose it. The room needed some serious cleaning. The bath tub was covered with mildew.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"non compassionate manager"
After switching rooms because the first was dirty and smelly, I needed the room for an extra night. Receptionist was helpful but I got locked out the next night because apparently my credit card was decline and instead of calling me they just checked me out. The checkout is at 11 and needed to stay longer the manager came by twice and I told her I would […] be out by 1. She was very rude and not understanding. She kept looking me up and down.

"convenient to meet"
The fitted sheet(s) does not fit the bed! The second day I asked for a new sheet to fit the bed, I was given another sheet...it does not fit the bed. I left a pair of jeans and they were very nice about returning the jeans to me at my cost. Office staff was very nice.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This Hotel is very tired. It needs alot of work!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"CAREFUL not a good experience!"
This hotel is a extended stay, then they do not have housekeeping services for staying less that 7 days but they do not put this information in the web site, you learn this until you get into the hotel. This means that if you want new towels or soap you have to go to the lobby to get them. The toilet on my room get broke and their solution was: "try […] to shake the handle, and see if this works", instead of sending someone to take a look. One day they do not have soap and the best they can offer was "we do have shampoo" instead of go and find some soap. They have to really work on the training of their personal and in the quality of the service. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Room was disgusting but location is good"
If youre willing to sacrifice cleanliness for location, this is the place to stay...I definitely will never stay here again. Nothing was clean and the toilet didnt flush!..If you do decide to stay here, definitely bring your own sheets.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location. Spotty cleanliness."
The hotel location can't be beat for the price. The staff was friendly, but our room was a little dirty (hairs in the sink, cups not dried, dirty tub, no towels, used shampoo bottles) and the tub did not drain.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient, but not friendly."
The staff was overwhelmed, and except for one staff member, who was very polite and professional. he rest of the front desk staff could use some basic customer service training.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Homestead Austin - Downtown"
The bathroom still had evidence of the previous people staying when we checked in--I was very disgusted by other people's hairs on the floor. The bed was HORRIBLE. It wasn't soft or plush at all, and it sunk in towards the middle. I kept waking up my boyfriend because I would have rolled into the middle, smothering him. However, it does have an AMAZING […] location--just minutes from great areas like SoCo and Downtown. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Austin Hotel"
The hotel is close to downtown without the downtown price. But the rooms are very old and in need of renovation. Best thing was the laundry room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Watch out for Bed Bugs..."
I recently stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and have come home with quite a few small 'bites' all over my body. After a visit to the doctor to find out about these marks, I was advised it was from bed bugs. And the only location where I had slept for the days prior was this hotel. So if you choose to stay here, definitely expect to have bed bugs […] attack you. Now I have to disenfect my house, sheets and luggage bag - because it is likely all my clothes have picked up the bugs, and unfortunately, I feel they are in the house.

"Homestead Austin"
This hotel was very shabby. Carpets are threadbare and this makes them look dirty. No dishwasher or garbage disposal in the room but a huge refrigerator. The staff were absolutely wonderful though and this made the visit tolerable. Hotel smells musty. Shower curtain smelled and mildew on the tile.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"The Fire Arlarms work!"
The staff is friendly and that is about the only positive thing I can say about the hotel. The rooms were hot, dried gum on the comforter, mold in the bathrooms, and a fire alarm blaring in the middle of the night. Turns out the fire alarm was a false alarm, but I was told while we all waited outside at 3:30 in the morning that this isn't the 1st time […] this happened(occurred a month ago as well). I am thankful to know if there was a real fire we would been alerted, however that on top of all the other negatives will keep me from booking here in the future.

"Centrally located but"
They are remodeling now, working hard to improve, it supposed to be done several years ago. Front desk girl was terrible to greet me, she was keep talking with her personal friend. I felt like I was a unwanted guest.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Homestead Austin"
Bad location and no extra pillows. Would not stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Too expensive for a dirty room"
The hotel was poorly maintained and at the second night a wall lamp in the second floor ignited and generated a fire. What kind of hotel is so poorly maintained that a wall lamp ignites? I paid too much for a room that still had the smell of cigarette (it was a non smoking room), the towels were dirty, the countertop was sticky and the couch was in […] such condition that I decided not to sit on it. I´m never coming back to that hotel chain. The only good thing was the people in the hotel, they were all very nice. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Marginal"
Recognizing that this is a cheap place, I was there five days and they never changed my towels or sheets or straightened up the room at all. I was there for a conference, and the night before my presentation a fire broke out somewhere in the hotel and a siren like an air raid went off. These two experienced definitely soured me on the homestead.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not impressed, location is only good thing"
I thought, by the location and few pics they have, it be a good hotel. The hallways smelled like butt and had a stinch of wet dog thruout the whole 2nd floor. Rugs seem to be from the 70's and they have the nerve to charge for internet service...thought we were in 2011 and not 1998. Beds were hard, AC is loud. Overall I give it a 2 out of 5 stars. Location […] is the only good thing about it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Homestead Austin - Downtown - Town Lake"
The hotel is old and needs to be renovated. For the amount of money you spend you would expect something nicer. The elevator drops two inches on its own when you step inside. It is fairly close downtown Austin attractons. Overall, I would not recommend thishotel to others.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"HomeStead Suites Downtown Austin"
The room was not cleaned properly, floor not vacuum, sink dirty with hair and toilet paper in the toilet, This will be the last time I ever stay at a Homestead Suites, totally was not satisfied, The sheets even looked as if they were old and soiledGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location, needs updating"
Kitchen and bathroom could use some updating, but good price for the location. Don't expect anything special in the room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Will not use again, dirty."
The room was dirty. I even had to get them to empty the trash from the last person. I thought since there were dishes there would be something to wash dishes with, nothing. I did not use the coffeepot, old coffee grounds were left in the pot so that tells me the pot was not washed after the last person. In the bathroom the grout in the tiles was balck […] from mildew. The carpet next to the wall was dirty. The location of your place was fine, even though I was told it was walking distance to my son's house, it was not. I wish your place had been more acceptable because the rate was within my budget and the location was OK my son picked me up and brought me back. I spend a lot money on a room that I was not comfortable in. Sorry. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"You get what you pay for"
Good location in downtown Austin. Hotel rooms have a small kitchen which is great if you have time to prepare meals and cook. The beds were harder than plywood. The bathroom only came with soap. I didn't know that extended stay hotels only provide maid service once a week. I woke up at 4:30am to a dog barking down the hall.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Homestead"
Great location. But lacked cleanliness. Shower had mildew and sheets smelled. Since I was taking my dog I didn't expect much. If your looking for just a place to stay and have low expectation then this is the place to go. Location is great but I wouldn't recommend for a romantic weekend. Great if you have small children , refrigerator and stove is a […] plus. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Okay for a place to stay one night."
We had no big problems with our hotel there were just a few little things. When we arrived to our hotel room the phone didn't work, which was not a huge problem because we didn't need to use it. But then at 3:00 AM our fire alarm started going off while we were sleeping for no reason at all. So we couldn't call down to the front desk, we had to go down […] there. It woke everyone else on our floor up so they were all out of their rooms and some of them had gone down to complain at the front desk. It took a little while to fix but they don't even know how they stopped it. It was a good place to crash for the night and it was close to Sixth Street which is where we had gone that night.
