Super 8 by Wyndham Austin University/Downtown Area, Austin

Passable

Liked: The room came with a fridge and microwave. The bed was comfortable.
Disliked: The room was extremely noisy from the freeway making it very difficult to sleep. The hot tub was not working. The breakfast was just okay.

Room 213 needs yo be...

Liked: Bed and pillows were comfy
Disliked: The room smelled strongly of stale cigarettes and the bathroom smelled even stronger with mold. My chest hurt in the morning from breathing in that room. If it hadn't been so late when we got there I would've asked to switch rooms or stay elsewhere.

Exceptional

Very good

Economical accommodation in North Austin

Liked: The room was spacious enough, and there was a desk suitable for writing. The breakfast options included waffles (that you make yourself with a waffle machine).When I told the receptionist that some things needed fixing in my room, she took care of it immediately.
Disliked: I did not like that people were passing directly outside the only window, which meant I had to keep the curtains closed all the time. Every breakfast option (beverages, cereal, waffles) produced a huge amount of plastic garbage, or even worse, styrofoam waste. Absolutely terrible!The person who was supposed to fix a ceiling vent in the bathroom did it in such an unprofessional way that it broke again on the next day.

Superb

Liked: The front desk employee's were awesome helpful, understanding patient and Im grateful they made my stay easy going and comfortable
Disliked: They were a little to pricey

Good

Good cost-benefit ratio.

Liked: The location is good, and there's a restaurant next door.
Disliked: The room wasn't very clean.

A passably convenient stay in...

Liked: My room at the back of the motel was away from the road and had no traffic noise (the adjacent I-35 offers most rooms the hum of 10 lanes of traffic and so is loud!). The pool is in reasonable condition and, though small, is quite deep and made for a refreshing dip. The flexible checkout until 12:00 was appreciated...
Disliked: The breakfast area isn't really big enough and got overcrowded at times. The breakfast is alright although there is no fruit provided at all and very little else containing any fibre. Most shameful of all is the complete reliance on single use plastic for everything - plates, bowls, coffee cups are all flimsy non-recyclable polystyrene - no stronger than card or paper so why not use these biodegradables or get proper plates and wash them up to minimise waste? Super 8 is disgracefully at least a decade or two lagging behind on environmental considerations.... There are no tea kettles provided in the rooms - these were 'removed due to COVID' - the threat from which subsided 2 years ago! Put them back to save guests the indignity of having to attempt coffee and tea making using a microwave....
