Room was dark, and smelling moisture (no windows, except a tiny one next to sink)... Bath tube was clogged. It was okay for one night sleep only. Nothing more should be expected.

3 nights during SXSW 2012. Expensive for a motel, but good for the conference/festival. $120, 140, and 160 a night through the first weekend, the film-part, of conference. Everyone said that after we left, the music part fo SXSW was really crazy. it was pretty darned busy while we were there! We're two of a quarter-million people who descend on... More

If you're expecting a fancy place, this is NOT it. If you're looking for an affordable place that's clean and has a friendly staff, this is the place. Although it's right on a very busy interstate, the noise did not seem all that bad to me. There is a 24 hour restaurant next door that serves good food. It's also... More

We were given a smoking room (234) right next to the main highway. Neither me or my partner smoke and we weren't given an option of smoking or non smoking room, just given a room that absolutely wreaked. The furniture was old, tv old, bedspread stunk of smoke, carpet had stains on it and looked dirty. Upon check in we... More

The room was clean, and the amenities were standard for a Days Inn motel. There's covered parking available. The only issue is its location--it's right next to a busy section of I-35, and I could hear the freeway noise constantly. If I didn't live in the city it might have affected my sleeping. I also understand that this is a... More

Tough to walk from here anywhere but is a short car ride to lots of places. Two young guys came in at 2 a.m. and created lots of noise for an hour but the street noise wasn't bad once we were inside. Bed was comfortable and the refrigerator worked fine. Nothing fancy but a good price.

For the number of visitors, I was surprised this place has so few reviews (47 at the time of our stay) and consider the bell curve’s possibly a bit skewed from an insufficient sample size. Best for non-sportos for a couple of days stay Sunday through Wednesday, for those with a car, or needing to visit/access the St David’s Hospital... More

For the price and location of this hotel it was really an amazing deal. The room was nicely decorated, a little small but nice. Flat screen TV and fridge in the room was great as well. There was a good diner/restaurant open 24/7 directly next door which was perfect for late night dining. I would recommend this hotel if you... More

I stayed here for 3 nights and it was a good choice. The hotel is situated right next to the Interstate so when beeing outside it was very noisy but beeing inside the room it didn't bother me. They also have a nice pool but I didn't use it. Your car can be parked underneath the rooms so it stays... More

I stayed here during a conference. Definitely easier to take cabs back and forth between downtown and the motel. Very loud on weekend nights because of the walkway outside of rooms. Other patrons seemed to congregate outside rooms and chat or smoke before going into their rooms. Breakfast was basic but fine. Front desk was helpful. There are several great... More
