“Clean, Friendly, Cheap....but, a lousy breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

I have stayed at the Extended Stay American on Research Boulevard in NW Austin three times now. The interior isn't pretty - ugly green carpet and fluorescent lighting, and the rooms can have a bit of a funky industrial cleaning supply smell that you won't notice after a little while - but, if you're looking for a clean, decently maintained room for a few days or weeks it isn't bad. Like I said, I've stayed here 3 times and expect to stay here again. My only real complaint is breakfast. Coffee and vending machine muffins. A month ago, they also served bagels you could toast, but that has been discontinued. About 15 minutes from central Austin (non-rush hour), if you're on the road and looking for a solid, economical choice of where to stay this is a good choice.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your stay. I am sorry to hear that the lighting and carpet are not to your expectations, nor the breakfast or coffee we provide not being up to your standard. In response to your feedback, I am looking into different flavor coffee. We continually work to improve our hotel, so I really appreciate your comments about the lighting and carpet. I invite you to contact me at anr@extendedstay.com if you have any additional comments. We would love to have another chance to provide you with a better experience at our hotel the next time you're in town.

“Good Location....Well Worn Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2012

Stayed for two nights in October 2012. The hotel is all right. It is probably filled during the week and shows the wear. The location is good. Rooms are large. Having the kitchen in the suite is a plus. All clean enough. Price seemed a bit on the high side, but is probably market price for that area of Austin. Free breakfast was minimal. Much prefer the Dunkin Donuts down the road. Nothing happened that would cause me not to stay there again.

“An OK place for a night or two”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2012

I stayed for one night that I got very cheap on Priceline. As per the other reviews it was a little bit grim but not too bad and I didn't mind given the price.

It was a bit dirty (there was a malteser on the floor of my room that cleaning had left there) so probably not the place for a germ-o-phobe and like other people have said it has crickets (one ran through my room and I saw a few dead ones in the hallways - but I imagine that's not uncommon for a very hot city.

Breakfast is a bit sparce but just standard cheap motel fare.

It's not terrible, but its not great, either. On the plus side the rooms are very big and it's very convenient for getting into Austin. I can't really recommend it but if you're looking for somewhere cheap to stay you could do far worse.

I recently received a copy of your review, and wanted to take a moment to respond. Our company prides itself on providing great service and great rooms at great rates, which is why I was so disappointed to read your post. Please accept my most sincere apologies.

We know that our guests have multiple hotel choices, which is why our mission is to provide clean, comfortable rooms at an affordable price that guests want to come back to. The room condition you describe is totally unacceptable to me and not at all representative of our quality standards. In response to your post, I have met with our hotel staff and used your review to help coach them on room cleaning and inspection policy.

Let me apologize again that your stay was not completely satisfying, and assure you that we will continue to listen to our guests in forums like this one or directly (please visit our website and click the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page). I hope that you would give us the pleasure of having you as a guest again at this hotel or any other brand location in the future.

“Good for 1 night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 28, 2012 via mobile

Everything was fine. Hotel staff was friendly, rooms were as clean as they should've been. Read lots of other reviews that were bad, but this is not a 4 seasons. If you want a night to stay in Austin you should come here if you get a great rate. $90 a night is a little steep.

“Thanks Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

I want to say I went to Austin for personal reasons and I have to say they have an amazing staff at this hotel. I was overwhelmed by the generosity of the manager Adam. He was very helpful in everything I needed and went above and beyond to make sure my stay their was the best it could have been.Consuelo my housekeeper was also just as nice and professional. In this day in age it is hard to find people who are willing to make sure there guest are well taken care of. I will defiantly make sure I stay at this hotel every time I am in the area.
