Americas Best Value Inn-Austin South

Possibly worst experience in a motel. I found blood stains on the sheets. The bed was infested with bed bugs. Other insects all over the room. On top of everything it smelled horrible like cat urine … And this is the second room I checked out. I ended up asking for a refund, and guess what? The manager threatened to call the police on me! I was very disappointed, never coming back here !

My mom decided to stay here for us to stay here for the night since we were moving from Houston to Austin, and that was such a bad decision to make. Our room was small and cluttered and lacked basic necessities. Outside of the hotel were many mattresses and the overall look of the hotel was very unkept and dirty. A day after staying here, my sister had many bed bug bites. She did not know where she got them but she knew that it was right after staying here. Then, alas! Upon checking Unilocal,the reviews confirmed my hunch. Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere because this hotel is not worth it. It does not even deserve the 1 star to be honest.

Not to bad. Okay wifi. No bugs. Messy parking lot. I would stay here again nice price.

I was pretty wary about staying here based on other people’s reviews. I don’t normally write reviews of any kind, good or bad, but I made an exception with this establishment. I know when staying at a hotel as cheap as this one, you take a risk for what you’re going to end up with, but I had a very pleasant stay for a four day period.
The water pressure and temperature was good.
The beds were bug free and comfortable.
All appliances worked.
The room was cleaned everyday.
The staff was friendly.
The complementary breakfast was adequate.
Nothing of ours was messed with or stolen.
The only downside to our stay was that our neighbors were smoking weed all week and the smell seeped into our room. But all things considered, it definitely could have been much worse.
This is not a four star hotel, but it was great considering the price. I would definitely recommend this as a cheap option for someone.

First off all where the app shows the hotel is not correct. But thats the least off the problems with this place. It is not part off the Hilton brand with the same name. The parking lot is very dirty and just altogether doesnt look good the carpet in the room is pieced together with many of the pieces having gum stuck to them. A tv from the1980s and all the sheets and blankets with cigarette burns and other various again on them despite getting a non smoking room. Luckily did not see any bed bugs but I was sure to to look and even with all this the room was still 180 a night. Everything considered I would say stay somewhere else if you have the choice.

Bed bugs. Bed bugs. Bed bugs. Bed bugs.
We stayed at this place for 2 nights, on the second morning we found an adult bedbug on the pillow. We then Searched the
mattress to see how bad the infestation was. We found a couple of eggs and shredded shells, but not a bad infestation. However, when we alerted the establishment, they very nonchalantly just went in the room and painted the light fixtures… Pathans to isolate the room? This alarmed me. Make me think that they hear this often.
We had additional days book that they cancelled and refunded for us immediately. Again, leading me to believe this is old hat for them
Aside from that, the hot water was just a fantasy your rock hard frozen nipples fought to recall. Cigarette burns in the comforter told tales of meth parties and crying hookers.
The towels had the texture of ramen noodles and the bible was pristine, confirming that god had forgotten about this horrid place a long time ago.

Do not stay here. The pile of toilets with a tarp over them in the front should have been all I needed to see, but it was late we were tired and everything else was booked up for SXSW. The smell of cleaners/​air freshener was so strong our eyes burned and itches, the place was just dingy and gross. We slept on our sleeping bags on top of the bedding, it was that unsettling :/
Update: I have a rash after sleeping in this place, no joke. Since we slept on our own bedding I’m guessing it was from the shower? Don’t. Stay. Here.

So so terrible! Our motel room was dirty and falling apart. Hole in the wall with wires hanging out (rather than a smoke detector), a filthy comforter, gross floors. This motel was way worse than any motel 6 or comparably priced property I have ever stayed in. :shudder:

Just a quick Unilocal that’s overdue. I did a road trip where I was staying in many different hostels and motels/​hotels (CA, AZ, TX, LA). On ⁹⁄₁₈ I had a difficult time finding a place to stay because of hurricane Ike. I found the Country Garden Inn to be a reasonable place for the price of $ 69 which includes wireless Internet, however, my signal was very weak so I couldn’t do much with it. The place is kept clean (for a motel of this caliber anyway) and safe. The owner/​manager has cameras that watch the corridor outside the rooms and it seems, from talking to him, that he he really tries hard to keep the undesirables out of his place, unlike some of these other budget places. In summary, if you are on a tight budget and you need a place to stay that’s clean and safe in the Austin area this would be a good choice.
