This used to be my go-to hotel for staying near downtown Austin without paying a fortune, but my last couple visits have grossed me out. Smelly rooms. Bugs in the bathroom. They never send a maid unless you beg them. Just run-down feeling and paying $140 a night for this place is just insane -- regardless of where it is. More

Homestead studio hotel is one of the best places I have stayed. The biggest advantage of staying in this hotel is that its in downtown and very near to the beautiful lake. Staff is also very nice. They have big parking area so you are never short of parking and never in hurry to park! If you are planning to... More

I tried to stay with my family for the weekend. After Friday night our floor smelled horrible and was covered in beef jerky trash. I go out with my family in the morning and 4 men share the elevator with us. Luckily they stopped talking about strip clubs long enough to race and see who could "pound" a four loko... More

Nice studio apt. conveniently located to downtown with good dining/bar options within walking and taxi distance. More

This is the first Homestead I've stayed in and was pleased with the room, especially given the price and proximity to downtown. We were put into an accessible room so not sure if all the rooms are as big but ours was great. More

When we opened the door to our room, a trail of ants and a roach were eating sugar left on the kitchen counter. The nightstand had a sticky, unidentified substance on it. It was late, so we cleaned what we could and decided to stay the night. We reported the problems at the front desk the next day and the... More
