We stayed at the Homestead Suites for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. This hotel is definitely the best location for the most econimical price. I have paid onwards from $300 for a hotel during the festival which wasn't as convenient for walking/biking to the festival. If you normally look to stay in the lap of luxury pass this one... more

We have stayed at this location of Homestead Suites before and like the fact that we can walk to most events downtown. However, this time, the room just had a smell to it that I couldn't describe. If the hotel hadn't been totally booked, I would have asked for another room. My husband found the culprit this morning when he... more

We stayed here for the Austin City Limits Festival. For this event the hotel was in the perfect location. It is a decent walk over the Congress St. Bridge if you are looking to spend most of your time downtown. The rooms were clean, not very big though. The kitchenete was great and the staff was very good. Overall we... more

OK, so we were looking for a budget hotel for our quick, last minute overnight stay in Austin and were "assigned" to the Homestead Studio Suites through Hotwire - so we couldn't change the hotel. Now, we were not expecting the Ritz. However, we were expecting something decent. In a nutshell: this hotel is poorly managed, and it is FILTHY,... more

I'm sure it helped that the rooms had been recently re-done, but they were pristine, and comfy. Best of all, we were within walking distance to work, as well as great, hip restaurants and music clubs. And the price could not be beaten. I've already got reservations for our return visit. more

I feel like things are crawling on me. I'm not really all that weird about that kind of thing either, but i can't help it. There's cigarette burns in everything (in my no smoking room). The bed and bedding are perhaps circa 1983. The TV also. The wi fi is probably my BIGGEST problem, working intermittently (I'm sitting here now... more

We stayed here in Sept. 2008 because of the Houston-area evacuation for Hurricane Ike. We had a handicap-accessible room, and the smell alone was horrific. The location is great, but the cleanliness was a big issue for me. They charge an extra $25 per night if you have a pet for "cleaning services." It was obvious that the occupants prior... more

DON'T STAY HERE! sEPTEMBER 24, 2008..These rooms were being charged at a higher rate, due to the special event of Austin City Limits Music Festival. Upon arrival we were greeted nicely enough and checked into our King room with a sleeper sofa with no problems. While waiting in line, another patron was consulting with the clerk about some problem they... more

We stayed at the Homestead Studio Suites in Austin for one night. We just needed a place to crash for a few hours, as our flight left early the next morning at 6:00 a.m. We figured, how bad could this place be? It's a major national chain and the website advertises "ALL ROOMS NEWLY RENOVATED" When we checked in, the... more
