Don't be fooled by the driveway leading to this mhotel; the building has been renovated inside and is very nice. The room is simple, but extremely clean, plenty of space with 2 queen beds, a large table/desk with mini fridge and microwave. There were 3 chairs in our room, making it possible to sit somewhere besides the beds. The beds and pillows are very comfortable - always a plus after driving for 10 hours.

The owners are very helpful and friendly. There is a Wal-Mart SuperCenter, Target, shopping mall and plenty of places to eat no more than a mile from the hotel via I-90's next exit. Easy on, easy off access to I-90.

There is also a small continental breakfast available - the usual muffins, bagels, cereal,coffee, etc. There is a full-sized washer and dryer available for guests as well.

The only caution I would provide is to the ladies - don't use a hair dryer and the microwave at the same time; I blew the breaker doing this. The owner was very nice about it considering it was only 6AM and he was just getting dressed!

Overall I thought this was a good place to stay overnight during our recent trip.

This is an older property that has had some remodeling and appears to be a "mom and pop" operation. The people who appeared to be the owners were friendly. The property is very near I-90, so we heard traffic speeding by at 70 mph. The double room was large and had a microwave and mini-fridge and extra chair for watching TV. While the TV and a large array of cable channels, all the channels noticeable "snow." Most importantly, the room was clean and it was quiet. But the furnishings showed some signs of wear, and the beds could have used a better pad for increased comfort (new mattresses would be even better). Overall it wasn't a bad stay, but it is clearly a budget choice. Based on the negative reviews for other budget properties in Austin, this is probably an OK place for the price.

The staff at the Countryside Inn go all out to make a family comfortable and relaxed. They have smoking and nonsmoking rooms. They also have rooms especially equiped for the handicap. They have single, queen and king beds that sleep very well. Hot tubs in some of the rooms feel great after a long trip or just as a get-a-way from the kids. The continental breakfast has a variety of items and they are not stingy about the amount or how many times they have to refill things. The restaurant next door, The Sportts Bar and Grill, has excellent food and is only 50 yards away. The prices range from around $40 for a single and $83 for a king sized bed and hot tub for 2 people. Kids sleep free and there are cots available. Security cards are needed for all doors to the Inn. There is no pool at this hotel. It is off I-90 and has parking for semi's.
