Super 8 Austin Downtown / Capitol Area - Austin 30.27235, -97.73154

Location is fine if you don't mind a little walking, and good value for money, and handy for the Capitol, 6th Street etc.

Selected hotel because of it's location to Frank Erwin Center.

Not a luxury spot by any means, but if you're hitting downtown ATX it's only about a half-mile walk and rate was half of anything within downtown vicinity. Definitely recommended for fun on a budget as long as you don't mind the walk.

Killer location to walk to all the downtown music and clubs...semi noisy location close to the highway...staff was ok, room was ok, over all ok...not a place I would want to stay for weeks on end.

the distance from the hotel to downtown was very close. took only about $5 cab ride each way. the toilet was not stable, and needed to be fixed.

This hotel was adequate for our one night stay, but if I had been on vacation I would have been sorely disappointed. The hair dryer did not work, and the front desk did not seem to care. The location is VERY convenient to downtown, but do not expect any luxuries. It had a cheap feel to it.

$5 cab ride form 6th St. Satisfied overall with amenities considering the price. The owner wouldnt let me upgrade to a suite and pay the difference due to the fact that he "didnt have a button to do that." But overall it was a good stay for a good price and a cheap cab ride to 6th.

The hotel offered good value for money. The room was clean, and they included a mini fridge and a microwave in it. There was a bit of outside noise from the neighborhood, but it wasn't too bad. The air conditioning unit was a bit loud every time it switched on though. Overall I would recommend it, and they provided a free breakfast as well, with muffins, cereal, banana, juice, and doughnuts.

Room was everything you'd expect for the price. Location right off highway, and six blocks away from 6th St was great. Front desk very nice ppl.

I chose this hotel for the close proximity to the downtown area for a wedding I was attending. It was a reasonable walk, which was great. What was not great were the somewhat rowdy weekend partiers that also decided to stay there, and the tired state of the rooms. We had to push back the curtains so the air conditioner would blow into the room and not up into the curtains (useless). The breakfast choices were small but the juice was good. There were numerous little things that went wrong (keys didn't work, hair dryer broke, etc.) but the management immediately fixed the problems.

met my expectations for something cheap near downtown. was a little dirty (stained comforter, smoky smell, and hair in the shower). I was pleasantly suprised at the lack of noise (UT game that weekend) and at how well the A/C unit worked.

This was an old facility in just okay shape but clean. Nothing fancy for sure.

I was just looking for something close to a venue for a 2-night stay. It was very convenient; and the staff was really friendly. I would recommend it to a friend.

Room for just ok. Would have expected to pay much less for this quality room in any other location. Within walking distance of 6th street.

We came to see the Congress Ave. Bats and the young lady working the desk was able to point us in the right direction and gave us information on the public transit and a great recommendation for a BBQ place! The breakfast was OK too. For being near the highway, the room was fairly quiet and the heating/cooling, which can be problems in many hotels, also worked well! I always figure that I'm not going to be in the room much anyway, but it was clean,comfortable and a good deal price wise. I would stay there again.

Well, I found a hair in the bed and the mattress was really soft, but for the price this wasn't terrible. I wouldn't recommend this for families or couples, but if you are going out on 6th street with the guys this would be fine. No parking charge and 10 min walk downtown.

The air-conditioner did not work properly- the labels on controls were erased or missing. Water did not flush in the tub, the toilet seat was stained and "uninviting". The front desk refused to keep luggage after check-out as I was leaving the town later in the day. His explanation: The luggage is not locked and he can vouchsafe for (character) of other workers!. I reminded him that I had left my luggage unlocked in room during my stay without any problem, with no avail! I had to lug around luggage during my meetings during early morning and afternoon. Will never stay in a Super8, particularly this one!

The room was clean, and very conveniently located. I had no problem getting downtown by foot, it only took 5 min. The room was comfortable and the neighborhood was quaint, and surprisingly quiet considering it was off of the highway. I defintely would stay here again.

You get a good room for the money and it is very vell situated to sightseeing downtown. It is also just blocks away from the up and coming East Side district. Great value.

According to the rather unfriendly staff, we had no choice but to book a smoking room, even though a non-smoking room was unoccupied. The smokey smell of the room was intoxicating, so bring your own sheets and air freshener/candle. All in all, the room had the amenities that you'd expect and was sufficient for a one-night trip. I wouldn't book it if I planned to spend a lot of time in it, though. We intended to walk around downtown and just use the room for a place to shower and sleep. Those expectations were met. The room was just extremely smokey and the staff was not helpful. The location and price were unbeatable, though.

This is what i expected when i booked at motel 8. the room was clean but not extravagant; a bed and a shower was all i was looking for. the bed was not very comfortable and there was noise from outside at 4am ( somebody's radio too loud). the manager was very nice.

enjoyed my stay. the room was very clean and cozy.

This motel is best for convenience. It has been remodeled inside, as of Jan 2009. The motel gets to full capacity on weekends, and there was a lot of noise from other guests and the nearby freeway. If you want to stay somewhere relaxing and quiet, this is not your motel. But if you will be out for most of your stay, and don't mind some noise, stay here.

room was clean and had all the amenities featured on hotels.com.

Not bad for that location and that price. You'll have to put up with a couple of inconveniences, like very noisy pipes and A/C units. If you're looking for something inexpensive, though, it's not bad at all.

Good location and good value

We found the hotel to be much better than 1-1/2 stars it has. It is conveniently located just a mile from the happening 6th street. Also the morning breakfast was decent. Overall a nice place to spend the night..we would recommend the place and would go there again!!

Price was wonderful and front desk/cleaning staff was very friendly

Thank you for a hotel with ADEQUATE outlets for laptop, cell phone charger etc. It was nice not to have to rip out the alarm clock just to charge the cell phone. AND the ironing facility, hair dryer, refrigerator and microwave were helpful, especially to one who needed to be there for more than one day. The bathroom, however, lacked a stopper for the bathtub; for one who likes to take a restful bath, this was a problem. The bathroom also needed updating where fixtures were concerned. Its cleanliness made it less of a problem.

After reading previous reviews, I did not have high expectations at all. The front desk personnel was, however, one of the most friendly and efficient people I have ever met. The rest of the hotel was mostly as expected: standard restrooms, a bare bathroom (it sort of felt like prison), and my room was right next to the laundry services. But everything was surprisingly clean and I was delighted that there were no cockroaches.

I was pleased with the hotel. I didn't have my own vehicle while in the Austin area so the location was perfect. I would recommend the hotel and I would stay there in the future.

The hotel was fine for the needs that we had. We just needed a room with clean sheets and a cheap rate close to the places we wanted to go. The hotel is not updated and some of the wear and tear could be mistaken for dirty. Still I thought the room was cleaned well everyday. We will stay there again on our next trip to Austin. Can't beat the price that close to downtown. Also, it's on a good bus route.
