We spent one night at Extended Stay America. We chose this hotel because of its great location with lots of bars, restaurants and sights like the Capitol just off. The room is okey, big enough and fairly clean but nothing special. However, breakfast was a great disappointment: one coffee and one plastic-wrapped muffin to go.

Before booking, I wish I knew that the staff did not like dogs, even though the hotel accepts dogs. They complain if they bark but it's like complaining if a baby cries and they accept babies at hotels. One employee and a manager complained that one of their guests had complained about our dog barking. Well if you know that... More

We were visiting family and also wanted to see the city. This is a great location to really start to see Austin. From the Cactus Cafe to South Congress, Museums, Botanical and Sculpture Gardens, REI, Whole Foods and of course 6th Street is at your door step. Our only issue was the smell of smoke in the hall right off... More

I've stayed here twice, both times for 1 full week. The value for money on this hotel is great. I've not stayed in many American hotels, but compared to European hotels, the room is very big, as is the bathroom. As a smoker, I opted for the smoking room. It did stink of smoke, more than I would have expected.... More

For some reason, this hotel gets more bad reviews than it should. We stayed here October 2012 for ACL and were quite pleased. Most hotels in Downtown Austin are expensive anytime of the year, but for ACL, many almost double their rates. We lucked out and found this property about a month before the event for far less than the... More

I found myself in downtown Austin in need of an affordable room. The location for the price on this hotel is amazing. You can easily go out around trendy 6th street in the evening and make your way back to the hotel without needing a cab. The bed, internet, flatscreen TV were all very nice, much higher quality than a... More

We arrived in Austin for an early check-in but were told our rooms were not yet ready, but other guests arrived and were immediately checked in. We were given no explanation. We were allowed to check at ten minutes past the regular check in time. The rooms were clean and the kitchenette was well appointed but overall the room seemed... More

My recent stay at both Extended Stay America locations in Austin, Texas was just what i needed- affordable, clean, and accessible. At the 6th Street location, you are essentially just blocks outside of Everything. The Downtown-Townlake location is a bit further outside the busier sections of Austin, and was a $60 cab ride from the airport at 11:30 at night.... More

We stayed at this hotel for a guys weekend in March 2013. Overall, I'd rate the hotel as 3.5, but since I don't have that option here, I rounded up to 4. Overall, it was a good experience. The hotel represents excellent value for money, especially when you factor in the pros listed below. My only complaint is that this... More
