I travel with college students to Austin several times each year. We always stay at this specific Super 8. It is very accessible off of I-35 and Baby Acapulco's is located across the parking lot; it's a great place to have dinner with no driving required. The Super 8 staff has been incredibly accommodating, before, during, and after our visit.... More

My husband and I frequently travel for business and pleasure and we both agreed this was the worst place we have ever stayed. For starters, the noise from the highway is overwhelming. I could hear it even with earplugs. Also it did not help that we could hear the fighting couple next door all night long. After a day of... More

Pro: Clean room $69/night friendly staff Con: right on I-35 = loud outdated furnishings & old, cheesy TV with few channels I just needed a cheap room for a quick one night stay & that is exactly what I got. If you are wanting/needing anything more than a clean bed, look elsewhere. More

Thank you for your positive comment in reference to the "cleanest cheap room". Our housekeeping department takes great pride in providing a clean room that smells inviting for all of our guests. We do strive to offer MORE than clean rooms at a reasonable cost. We also have microwaves, refrigerators, hair dryers, single-cup coffee makers, irons and ironing boards. Most... More

This hotel is 10 minutes away by freeway from downtown and from the university (if traffic is good). The hotel is VERY basic: it's basically clean, the beds aren't too uncomfortable for just a night. But if you're staying longer than that, I would recommend you go anywhere else. Service was basic: they had a crib for us to use,... More

I have to say that the service I received was absolutely wonderful! Andrea and Joe at the front desk deserve to be recognized for their "job well done!!" It was definitely a welcome experience to walk through the doors and be greeted in comparison to the treatment that I received at another local motel. I made the decision to change... More

If you don't mind doing a bit of walking, Super 8 Downtown is probably one of the best values for the money. Located at 12th street and I-35 the property is only a short walk to the state capitol building, downtown (6th street) and the University of Texas main campus. Easy access to I-35 in both north and south directions.... More

We appreciate the review but our motel is NOT located at 12th street. You can find our property 3 minutes north of downtown Austin at 5526 North IH-35 which is exit #238A if you're driving north on IH-35. We are the only "2 and a half star" Super 8 on IH-35 and our weekend rates start at $69.99...come enjoy our... More
