Stayed at this Comfort Inn on March 9, 2012. Total price for a single person, king bed room was $172.45. (Room 149.95, City/County tax $13.50, Occupancy Tax $9.00). Price was a little too steep for a Comfort Inn. I did hear the SXSW Festival was happening. It this was the reason for the high price, it sounds a bit like price gouging.

On the positive side, the room was nice the the breakfast (6am - 9:30) was good.

Just stayed three nights at this hotel, and it was a perfectly fine stay all around. The room was comfortable, and fit our needs very well since there were three adults - and the extra sofa bed allowed for us to each have a bed. The shower was fine with plenty of hot water. The indoor pool is very small and the water is quite cold, but the hot tub was nice to visit. The breakfast was nothing special, but certainly adequate with plenty of bagels/toast/cereal available and the make-your-own Texas-shaped waffles. Breakfast is rapidly put away at 9:30am so keep that in mind if you are tempted to sleep late. Location of this property is in an industrial park, right off the highway, so you certainly need a car to stay here. However, it is a short 5 minute drive downtown or to SoCo or 10 minutes to the airport. In that way, the place is convenient, and affordable. Overall, it was a good value for our 3 day stay in Austin.

We stayed at this location last week and I will have to say that I have decided NOT to book at any Comfort Inns/Comfort Suites in the future. After traveling all day, it was late before we settled into our room. The bathtub was so bad that I skipped the tub visit and cleaned up at the sink. An earlier review on this site dated 5/16/11 mentioned the condition of the tub. Whatever finish that was on there is now peeling off in large areas and it looks awful. The tub would not hold water for a bath because there was no plug or lever to pull. Not a problem because I had already decided there was no way I was going to sit in that tub. My husband was even reluctant to shower in there. We were in Room 313 which was next door to the earlier complaintant's Room 312.

We mentioned this to the manager when leaving and he said we should have asked for another room! Oh yes. After we had unpacked our car and lugged all the luggage to this room and settled in? He said they had some problems with work done on the tubs and were in the process of getting them redone. Really? She had this problem in Room 312 on 5/16/11 and 4 1/2 months later, the room next door is still in bad shape.

My take on this was we did not pay for this room. We used our Reward Points from Choice Hotels. Think they just gave us the dump room.

Last year we stayed in a Comfort Inn dump in Indiana and decided not to stay in another Choice Hotel again; but, I was told by someone in the motel industry that we should select Comfort "Suites". They are under more scrutiny by upper management. Apparently not.

I had no problems with the rooms. Just a little worried about leaving my car in the parking lot and spots were very hard to come by. The room was ok (5 on a scale of 1-10), breakfast the same. I just expected more for the price and hotel chain. I had no issues but will try another hotel in the area on my next visit
