Ratings and reviews
2.0 / 5.0
The hotel was nice and front desk was friendly and respectful. The only thing I didnt like was the elevator was under maintenance and they was loud working on it messing with my sleep, but I’m glad they gave me a room on the first floor. Also my disposal didn’t work and the kitchen sink will backup with water so I couldn’t use the sink.
But I liked that the front desk lady didn’t charge me extra for checking in two hours before check-in time. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable, bathrooms was nice and stock with enough towels and essentials. The room have blackout curtains so that was nice for me since I worked at night and need no sun in my room when I was resting.

Nice room. Love that it had a small stove to heat up my soup.

The cleanliness seemed on part of not better than places we've stayed. It's clear that it was an older property that had been updated, but the room offered more than one might expect for the price...full size fridge, small cooktop, microwave, dishwasher. The bathroom was very clean. Bed might have been a bit softer than we're used to, but still comfy. Front desk staff, Megan, was great for making us feel welcome and at home.

We came to see a band in Austin at a venue nearby. Perfect for that. We arrived midday and left at checkout. We just needed a place to sleep and shower. It was clean and had a large fridge. I wouldn't mind staying there again. I felt safe at the spot. Well lit parking lot.

I checked in, went to my room, opened the door, only to find that somebody else was already in my room. I asked him how long he had been in the room, and he said that he had checked in two hours prior. THEY GAVE AWAY MY ROOM, and I had to find out about it by opening the door on some naked guy. They gave me a substandard room as a replacement, and eventually found another room like the first, but this was total incompetence in running a hotel.

Outstanding service! This hotel was clean, quiet, and everyone was extremely friendly. We would absolutely stay here again!

I booked a room with a king bed, what I received was a double, I was so tired i just crashed and decided to deal with it until the following day staff was good to me and switched my room. they need to do something about the roaches there was a roach larger than my first born child in the bathroom. also apparently every hotel charges for parking in Austin? or I was just being gaslit so I would not complain about the parking fee...?

Hotel was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful but the area surrounding was a little bit schetchy….
2.5 / 5.0
Experience was good! Staff was super helpful and assisting! The outside of the building is a bit of a deterrent but once inside it’s not bad at all. A good spot for the cost!

It was good however the room was SUPER hot. It never got cold. & When we went into the room for the first time after checking in it was already open. Staff was very friendly and polite.

The worst thing was the smell of weed in the room. We took Febreeze which helped a little. The bed was comfortable.
2.5 / 5.0
All star experience especially for our budget. Sure , pay $5 nightly for parking, better than a $40 parking garage! Yes, prepare to pay a $25 deposit when you check in. Noooo big deal. If you dont read reviews or call the property directly with questions, that's on you. Why would they serve breakfast if you have your own kitchen? Think, people, b4 you gripe! This place is outstanding! If you can afford a palace with servants, go for it!

Extremely disappointed. Avoid!
First off the staff was very friendly during check in, we checked in early and by doing so we had to pay an additional $25 which at the end of the day isn’t a big issue but I travel quite a bit and have never been charged for an early check in as a courtesy if they have a room ready.
However, upon entering the room we found a handful of dead bugs lying around, it clearly was not cleaned very well prior, and the more we looked under furniture etc. the worse it got! the room also had a smoky/musty smell in it.
In addition to the dead bugs, we had several (at least 10-15) live bugs in the room over the course of 3 days that we had to kill ourselves, including a rather large one in the bath tub. This was gross!!
Me and my son were very reluctant to sleep in the bed considering the state of the room. On top of this, the air condition in the room sounded like Optimus Prime every time the fan turned on, so we continually got woken up throughout the night and ended up turning off the AC and having to sweat it out which was very unpleasant.
All in all, this was quite a horrible experience, there’s the saying “you get what you pay for”, but in some cases you definitely don’t. We would not recommend staying at this hotel.

The room was very dirty and old and smelled so bad, there was a sock stuffed in the AC unit, hair in the shower, smelled terrible, old room and falling apart, also refrigerator did not work. Water drain issue in tub. Pretty terrible but works as a crash pad , cheap and short stay. I have to say though customer service was on point employees are outstanding, you can tell they are working on these sort of issues.

The hotel was right down the street from a Gentleman's club. This is not good. It draws negativity. However, it was clean with professional staff. There was no breakfast and not much of a lobby.

Property was in a convenient location and value priced. I booked for that and because it is pet-friendly and I had my dog with me. Unfortunately, a couple of other dog owner guests did not feel it necessary to leash their dogs outside, so we were often dodging unleashed dogs on the grounds. I let the front desk know and they did eventually speak to one guest who was continually just outside the front lobby with their dog off leash.
My room was a good size and clean, but the phone and cooktop didn't work and there was no hair dryer (I was able to get this at the front desk). The staff is very helpful and friendly. Overall it was a decent stay for what I needed, but I probably wouldn't choose it again based on the challenges I had.
2.5 / 5.0
We were a little worried when we arrived. The exterior definitely needs updates. Inside, the hotel was clean, comfy and remodeled with an amazing staff. Will definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay. Simply Suites is a great hotel that was renovated last year. The front desk personnel, room, closeness to downtown, safety, etc. were all great. As an FYI, breakfast is not included and there is a parking lot fee. I would happily stay here again.

I liked that it was by the freeway, clean, very good blockout curtains. I didn’t like the addition charges. Parking fee and laundry fee. The price should be the price with everything included.

Need more to choose from in the snack section. Also no ice machine available
