I booked the room when I came to visit for SXSW. With the car rental and the hotel room, it was still SO much cheaper than paying insane amounts near downtown.
Let me break it down for you. No, it does not smell like roses. No, the Internet is not very high speed. No, the hotel room doesn't have a flat screen TV. No, there are not dead bodies in the room.
The price was SO affordable, one shouldn't be surprised that it's a bit worn.
While the place is definitely well visited, given the amazing rate I received, I felt that I deserved the quality given. If you want to go up, try the downtown hilton that is 10X more expensive.
I will definitely stay here again if i'm traveling with a bunch of guys who care nothing more than to find a place for a couple hours of shut eye before the next day's festivities at SouthBy.
