Baymont Inn And Suites Austin

It’s a decent priced room. I had stayed in other baymonts and they were great. This one was not the same. The room had a funky, unpleasant odor and looked like an add-​on than a regular room (see pics). I normally base rooms on whether or not I would walk barefoot in them. This one I kept my flip flops on. On a positive note, the coffee maker was not in the bathroom (I don’t drink coffee, but if I did that would be gross). Oh, one other positive, there is an outlet on lamp next to the bed. This is great for charging your phone and being able to keep it next to you (I despise having to charge my phone on the other side of the room. I won’t be staying here again. **edit** The Wifi is a joke. Couldn’t even get emails to come through. I ended up enabling the hotspot on my phone and using my phones data for Internet.

Total dump. We never even made it inside the hotel. Instead, we drove over to Marriott Spring Hill Suites, and paid about 30 dollars more. It felt like a palace in comparison.
We booked this place on
and the pictures seemed okay. We assumed prices were jacked up because of ACL and $ 160 was one of the cheaper places, but not the cheapest by any means.
This place is a rats nest. Looks like a hangout for prostitution, drugs and crime. Fortunately
offered a refund.

Thoroughly enjoyed the actual motel. Private balcony, fridge and microwave equals great room. The front desk girl T is a total different case. She was rude from the get go. Horrible bed side manner. Even smirks when realizing she’s made a customer unhappy. I will be sure to never stay there again as much as I liked the place.

This hotel is fine, nothing spectacular but not terrible. Stayed here for a show at the Austin Ampitheatre, was close enough to venue, about a 20 $ Über ride. The hotel itself was good. The bed was comfy, the shower was fine, the room was clean and there’s a nice pool if you can stand the heat outside. It was 80 $ a night, so fair for the price.

I came back to this hotel because several months ago my husband and I had a nice time here. (More than once.) I am sorry to say that is no longer the case. The room smelled terrible and the bed is uncomfortable and I found hair balls in my washed and folded towels. I also found the request for the high deposit (for my service dog) offensive, giving me the impression of prejudice… That being said, I would like to add a positive note, that the staff has always been friendly and do try to be helpful.

Pros:
1. Not bad for the price. Look this place is one of the lower priced places in town and for what you pay you actually stay in a pretty decent place.
2. Location near I35 and ben white is awesome, again price being a factor.
3. The bed was very comfortable as were the pillows
4. good water pressure with plenty of hot water
5. We had a mini balcony at our unit
6. Felt safe, had no issues with shady activity
7. Free WiFi
Cons:
1. Location, some other hotels are just as expensive and closer to down town. we didn’t get a chance to rent those because they were full
2. the furniture such as the in suite chairs, the counter tops, the toilet is outdated and cheap. some even had holes in them
3. Walls are paper thin. I could easily hear when anyone opened their balcony door or were playing their TV or music too loud
4. Someone stole all the buttons off of my phone in the room!
5. The TV only has like 5 channels, luckily HBO is one of them
Overall not bad, I think the 1 star reviews are unfair but if you book expecting 5 star youre going to have a bad time.

Overall, a fine hotel for what we needed, which was for SxSW. There was a hot breakfast served each day, which was actually reasonably tasty. Nothing fancy, but good. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only reason for not giving this hotel 5 stars was it does need an overhaul. Any recent repairs seems to have been done by inexperienced workers, so there were things like paint inconsistencies; caulking stuck on the bathroom floor; carpet stapled to the wall; old bathroom fixtures; things like that. But it was clean, friendly and comfortable. I will stay here again if I need to.

My husband has a service dog and is a military veteran. When we made the reservation we let them know he would have the service dog and we also called ahead to speak to the front desk to let them know. Then after we were checked in and had stayed a night already, someone from the hotel came to our room demanding to see medical paperwork verifying the dog is a service animal. I informed them of the law regarding service animals and offered to show them a copy of the law but they were not interested and kept insisting we provide them proof or we would be asked to leave the premises. In the end, I called the local police as well as calling the corporate offices to inform them the employees at this location were ignorant of the ADA and were acting in clear violation of my husband’s rights with regard to service dog access. The person at the front desk attempted to lie, claiming there wasn’t any documentation in our reservation about having a service animal. In the end, it took a visit from the police and a call from the corporate office to get them to stop harassing us.

The good: this hotel is in a great location, with easy access to I-​35, restaurants and entertainment. The front desk attendant was kind and polite. The curtains were thick, blocking sound and light, so we did get a good night’s sleep.
The bad: everything else. The wallpaper was taken down and the walls not retextured or scrubbed, so you can see the designs where the wallpaper used to be (and in places, see scraps of old wallpaper). The room reeked of paint, masked only by a dryer sheet stuffed into the a/​c vent. One of the beds in our room collapsed when we sat on the edge. There were paint drippings on everything — covering the sink, the shower, the carpet and bathroom floor. There were no cups in the room.
We should have paid the extra $ 15 to stay at one of the adjacent properties.

If I could give it no stars I would. We booked 20 rooms with these people for an event in Austin and the place was a total dump! Furniture laying outside in the law area by the pool, dirty sheets, smelly room, walls were dirty, and the list goes on and on. When we complained about anything they would get offended. Terrible, terrible, service. NEVER again… pay $ 10-​$ 20 more and find a hotel nearby that doesn’t look like its should be destroyed. Oh! and their meeting room was a storage room! When we were just an hour before using it for orientation it was filled up to the top with old chairs and furniture. My husband had to move ALL of the stuff before we could use it because their maintenance people were leaving. THEN, they kicked us out the following day early because it was going to get used by another party and they had to clean it! Really?! It was already clean! Anyway, it was terrible. NEVER, EVER again.

In short:
The room was dirty, we were greeted by a roach upon entering, stained towels and shower curtain, no housekeeping service, unbelievably slow wifi, the mirror was missing… just a stain on the wall where it used to be and the lady doing breakfast mashed down the garbage (with bare hands) then returning to handling food. Big mistake to stay here.

Not zesty. This place is worn. I realized when my airport shuttle approached this place that I should have Unilocaled it before booking and, that the pictures were deceiving. The room was beat to hell– missing nobs, paint worn off the furniture, garbage left in the drawers, etc. it’s nice that the room comes with a microwave and mini fridge but I had to laugh… Is that a dial on the microwave? Yes– and it goes «ding» when your food is done– haven’t seen one of those in some time LOL. Ok, the kicker here is that the bed (no firmness at all) smelled of cologne from the guy that stayed the night before. Given the poor condition of the place, I couldn’t help but wonder… Did they change the sheets (yuck)?
The free breakfast is nothing to write home about but not bad– scrambled eggs, sausage, cereal, etc.
No frills here. I get that it wasn’t the highest priced place around and after all it was close to where my training was, but wouldn’t stay here again.

Keep in mind that this is on the lower end of the spectrum in the realm of hotels and priced accordingly. I stayed here for a week when I was waiting for my lease to start. It had a tv that worked, a comfortable bed and warm water. Nothing to complain about. They also had not breakfast in the morning which is nontypical of budget hotels but free waffles and bacon is always appreciated. If you’re expecting five star accommodations this is not your place but be willing to pay for it.

This place is a total dump. Began to suspect something was up by the décor of the hallways. It ‘s kind of a peeled wallpaper motif. Room lacked a shower curtain, the bed sucked and I woke up with an ant biting me. The bathroom is (unintentionally) three different colors and has unmatching replacement tiles. Went to iron a shirt– iron there, but no ironing board. No cups in the room for anything. I had to thieve some from the lobby with the staff giving me the evil eye. The heat lamp in the bathroom was not working, but no worries, because the air conditioner wasn’t working right either. The kicker was the splattered blood spots in the bathroom. I would have left this room, but it seems like everything around was booked. At least the coffee maker worked…
