Well nothing fancy but ok if u going to stay for a night .. the hotel is old n it smell (cigarettes ) but the rooms r ok, nice to have a little kitchenet .. we stay only for one night because it fit the budget so overall its ok except for the smell

ESD NW, well it is what it is. A decent priced 2 star hotel. It is not a 4 or 5 star, doesn't claim to be.

The day I checked into the hotel, I had a problem, the ac in my room failed, Amalia at the front desk told me it could not be fixed until the next day, understandable as it was 9pm. She did let me sleep in another room that night, quite nice, as I did not want to move as I had already unpacked. The following day, when I returned from the project I was building at the Domain, the room ac was replaced, after that I had no problems with the room.

The breakfast is a lot of carbs (muffins or bagels) and fruit, again, it is what it is. The coffee in the morning is decent, actually a bit better than Dunkin down the street. The pool was nice when I got to use it. The housekeeping staff was decent and did the job as promised by the hotel (weekly), and it really is not that hard to clean up after ones self during the week, again, if you want more, pay more.

Most of the things about the hotel that I did not like had to do with other guests. There are trash cans at each stairwell to dispose of your room trash, but lots of folks have to put it outside their door in the hall. There were crickets in Austin this summer, and yes, they did get into the hotel, but they also were in stores, businesses, just about everywhere in Austin, the hotel did have pest control working to help minimize the effect of this. A point for them.

The bed in my room, was not a pillow top, although Extended Stay Deluxe hotels in the chain advertise all beds are pillow tops. Actually my bed was just a tiny bit softer than concrete, I would hope they change that.

Carpet throughout has seen better days, the porter probably needs to get a bit better keeping up with vacuuming, as well as mopping hard surface floors in common areas.

Just about 3 weeks before I finished my project, the hotel upgraded all the televisions to 32" flat screen lcd tv's, it would be nice to have hd broadcasting, and maybe a few more channels also (it is rumored that they are working on this). A plus for them, they are renovating the outside, however it was also a minus for me, as I don't really like leaving a jobsite to go stay in a hotel that is being worked on. However this is a plus as all of the extended stays in Austin are getting these improvements.

A bit of a warning, that should almost be common knowledge to people who stay in hotels. Austin is a large city, and there is crime, some people like to break into cars and trucks and steal what you have worked hard for. Part of life, not really the hotels fault. Do yourself a favour and secure your vehicle and make sure you don't leave valuables laying about in your vehicle. Don't expect someone else to do it for you.

All in all, when I return to Austin for future projects, I know where I will be staying.

I booked this hotel for Friday night because of the location and their advertisement of free breakfast. It turns out they only serve breakfast on weekdays. No breakfast on weekends. I know it's cricket season in Texas but you don't usually have them inside the hotel. There were crickets in the hallway and the carpets were dirty and worn down. The hotel also does not have an ice machine. I've never been to a hotel, motel, or in without an ice machine. Especially in Texas where it gets pretty hot during the summer. We stayed at the Comfort Inn another time and it was a much better experience.

I have stayed at this Extended Stay America on several occassions over the last four years. On my first visit, four years ago, the hotel was nice and clean (with the exception of an odd moldy smell in the elevators). On this visit I was shocked to see how much the hotel has gone downhill. Although this is a "deluxe" Extended Stay by name, it is nowhere near deluxe in appearance. The rooms are showing extreme signs of degradation. The hallways smell very badly (not the normal food cooking in the microwave smell, but a gross molded, dirty smell), the room I have has carpet that is badly stained, has large spots where the carpet has litterally been melted by something hot, and the room was not clean. Overall, the hotel has that rundown look and feel and is not worth the price difference between it and the Extended Stay America down the road at 183 and 620. We have also stayed at that location too, as we travel between Austin and Florida once per month. I normally enjoy the pool area, but the pool hasn't been cleaned in the three days that I've been here (and there is ALOT of leaves and dirt in the bottom of it). They use to clean the pool area daily, and on this trip I have yet to see anyone cleaning anything around here (and it shows!). I will not return to this location.
