Del Valle Austin Southeast

All is ok

Property under construction

There wasn't anything I like about it

I was offered a room on the first floor upon entering the room, felt stuffy, moldy. The air was just not right. I complained and was told I could change the room the next day, but since I was out a lot, I decided to let it go till I couldn’t take it anymore three days later and was switched to a better room which didn’t have that wet, moldy smell. It was on the third floor, but the tiles in front of the elevator were broken. The hotel is currently being renovated. Second room was much better but the condition getting out of the elevator definitely wasn’t normal.

I didn't like anything. First our door to the room would not lock unless it was from the inside. The motel was under construction so it pretty much looked like a horror movie. I couldn't stay there so i left.

Water was cold in the shower

Pool water was brown. Most of weights missing from gym. Breakfast room not ready at posted time. Waffle maker broken. No spoons. Originally booked for 6 nights, left after 1. Hotel manager was very nice, though, and did her best to be accommodating

No hot water for shower at 03:00 - room smelled - air freshener placed in room (not by me) - didn’t help Broken luggage trolley

Overall, it's a cheap place to sleep. You get what you pay for. But a few things are worth noting, because based on the pictures I wasn't fully expecting the disrepair: The parking lot is blocked on the side street entrance (which my GPS did not realize), so you can only enter from the one-way highway. Surprisingly annoying to get to in the dark, as a tourist, only minutes from the airport. The lobby pictures must be from another era, as the Texas star is the only accurately depicted feature. The whole place has a dilapidated feel. The front door sensor is faulty. The elevator feels like it could break at any moment. And lastly, there was a strange open electric motherboard thing mounted near the ceiling in the corner of my room that was for sure NOT the fire alarm. Still don't know what that was, but ignorance is bliss. I traveled alone as a small woman, and felt safe enough here. No bugs in sight, and staff was professional. Just want people to know what they're getting when they book here, because the pictures felt slightly misleading.

Solid place to stay if you need sleeping quarters. Not for hanging out. Staff was very friendly.
