Positives - really well positioned so you can walk to downtown and South Congress and it's very accessible by car - so for a short stay in Austin I would give it a qualified recommendation. Negatives - has seen better days. Front desk staff were the most uninterested I have ever encountered in the USA and the whole place felt... More

Not elegant, but a very comfortable and well-furnished mini-apartment across the street from Long Center for the Performing Arts, a couple blocks from the docks for Austin's great bat cruises, and no more than a 10- to 15-minute walk from downtown. Kitchen had full-sized fridge, micro-wave, electric stove, and decent selection of cooking supplies. Main disappointment was skimpy "Grab 'n... More

Positive: Friendly staff, ideal located - in walking distance to many music venues, bars and clubs; big rooms with kitchen and comfortable beds. Could be better: We love the place and have been here five years in a row. It is comfortable but not very clean. The carpet is sticky and nobody ever seems to take a look under the... More

When you first pull up and check in this place looks nice and well maintained. Once I was there a bit I realized this was not really the case. The room appeared mostly clean with the exception of the carpet. It was filthy. It was black and would turn your socks or feet black. I would not stay here if... More

Stayed at this place last year when it was a Homestead Suites hotel, primarily because of the location close to downtown. It was great last year. Now that it is an Extended stay, it has gone way downhill. The bathroom was dirty - hairs everywhere. The towels smelled moldy/musty. The dishes in the cupboards were dirty, several pieces of the...

Good value for the money, staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Rooms are clean and spacious. Picnic table out back is a nice place to relax and have a cool drink. Breakfast was a nice bonus. Great locations for S. Congress St. and all the attractions.

While the room and furnishings were satisfactory, the noise from other guests made the say very dissapointing. At about 3:30 in the morning on both nights of my stay, roudy guests in the hallway woke me up. I was told by the hotel staff that I needed to call the police as there is no onsite security to handle that.... More

Hotel is so convenient to downtown. Short walk to town! Room was adequate - no frills but free WIfi was a bonus. A few of the women at the front desk throughout the week were not very pleasant. Since we stayed a week, we were told our room was eligible to be cleaned once during the week. We chose to... More

The Extended Stay gives you great value for your money. The suites are spacious and clean, the hotel itself recently refurbished, wifi is free. The biggest plus however is the location - just a short walk to the lake and downtown and several bus stops at the nearby intersection. I'll definitely come again.

Will be back after great stay. Clean, convenient large rooms. Walking distance to so many attractions. Center of it all. The staff was helpful on all things and it was a great stay. This beats the other overpriced near-by competitors by a long shot.
