La Quinta Inn Austin Oltorf

Never stay here!!! They charged me for an extra night. The tv had no remote. The carpet in my room was wet! And the toilet kept getting clogged. Beware !!!

Stayed here on a Tuesday. The rooms we’re decent. Very clean which was good. Price was decent as well. The only thing that was horrible was all the noise outside. You can’t control people walking by and talking, but the house keeping would walk by numerous times with their cart making loud noise. Not to mention they had a leaf blower out front at 9am until 11am. I flew in late at night and was hoping to get a full night and morning rest, but this was not the place for that. If you’re staying a short amount of time and not looking to sleep in or get a decent amount of sleep, then this place would be great for you.

If I could give it zero stars I would in a heart beat. Aside from no fridge or microwave the area feels beyond unsafe. I found a roach as well and I swear it’s giving me post traumatic stress. For the amount of money we spent I regret it 100%. Only stay here if you have no choice. This place is beyong gross

Stayed in room 237 for 2 nights and had a nasty mildew A/​C that leaked water down the stairs. This maybe what is attracting the roaches in our room. Staff is nice. But breakfast is eh. I suggest drive to La Quinta farther north on 35 near 290. The room smelled awful lot of white powder behind dresser, rug is dirty, tub spout is crooked and there is rust or mildew on bath edge.

Avoid this place unless you have exhausted ALL the other options for accommodations!
I was there with two other friends (two rooms total) and we were not pleasantly surprised.
The place is old, dingy and needs to be torn down. Any renovations or improvements have been maxed out a long time ago.
The carpet was dirty in the room. The bathtub floor was filthy. The person in the other room obtained the room and had dirty sheets and pillow cases.
There is no refrigerator or microwave in the rooms that we had.
The place is inhabited by shady characters of various types who sit outside the rooms and puff away on cigarettes.
The ceiling of our first floor room showed multiple places of water damage from the upper floor.
The staff at the desk was very helpful and the air conditioning and wide open Wi-​Fi worked well.
The franchisees of this La Quinta unit should be ashamed and DISenfranchised!

Booked through an online service, we were in a bit of a bind.
Area was a bit fiffy, rooms a bit tired, 2 doubles not queens. No fridge, no micro.
Next time I’ll take the time to read reviews.

I was scared to leave my van here for the night. I was glad that I did not get broken into to. I get grossed out in older hotels and feel like they are not very well cleaned. I couldn’t walk on the floor barefooted. The pool was so nasty looking and looked like the sewer ran directly to it. They should cover it up or something. I woke up with a rash, either from the cheep soap or detergent used to clean the sheets. At least they were clean… just saying.

Absolutely awful. The room I paid for had no hot water or heat. Had to change rooms late at night which had no microwave or fridge which I paid for. The hotel frequently smells of marijuana, there was a wad of hair in the shower, housekeeping forgot to bring towels a couple times so we had to go down to the desk in the other building late at night to get some and also they didn’t empty the trash some days. The locals in town said this is a bad area with a lot of criminal activity so next time we will be sure to pick somewhere else to stay. Very disappointed and irritated to say the least.

Spent two nights here. Most reviews were bad but was tired and ready to take a chance. Put us up in the back on bottom floor. No issues. Road bikes to south congress and had no issues. Maybe a little costly for what u get. But I felt it was clean.

I used to stay at La Quintas frequently. But I haven’t for year and a half now, since my bicycle was stolen from this particular hotel. Now, I don’t blame them entirely. But I am very concerned about their lack of interest in the matter, their lack of response, and their poor customer service. They have cameras on the parking lot, indicating that they know they have problems. But when I reported the theft they told me only the manager could review the video tape. So I left my name and contact information. But I never heard from the manager. And when I called I was never able to reach the manager. And when I wrote to customer service at La Quinta, I never received a response. My feeling is that this company is not concerned about the safety or the experience of their guests. And for that reason I choose to stay elsewhere.

No way, never again. Dirty, gross, smelled like smoke. We didn’t even want to shower there because the bathroom was so rundown and nasty. Worst La Quinta I’ve ever stayed in!

STAY AWAY. Old furniture, old sheets, stained sheets and towels, dirty rooms and carpets. bad service. Just stay away, seriously.

Pretty shabby.
Also couldn’t sleep on account of the the birds and the BATS screaming all night outside my window. Trees line the entire interior if the building and there is some kind of bird/​bat infestation. Super loud all night. Could not sleep.

We stayed on a Sunday, and only because of its proximity to a testing center that we will visit early Monday morning. We had room 133.
The nightstand lights (2x) did not work, nor did the TV. Called the office and a repair person arrives promptly, after about 20 minutes of troubleshooting he has changed both light bulbs and reset the TV, he tells me to give that 15 minutes before turning it on.
About an hour later I try the TV and nothing. Another call to the office and they decide to change rooms, we’ll be moving from 133 to 205.
Everything works in 205 although neither room had easily accessible outlets, there were extra outlets in rm. 133 but on a wall-​mounted, multi-​outlet box located under the desk. You must get on your knees to reach them. Rm. 205 only had one open outlet under the desk and an accessible double outlet on the wall near bed, I just sat my iPad on the floor nearby to charge it since there was no desk or table in the vicinity.
The balcony-​like walkway that lead to room 205 had an EXCESSIVE side slope to it, it hurt my wife’s back just to walk along it! Avoid rooms in the 205 range if you have leg or back issues.
The carpets in both rooms felt gross on bare feet, you’ll want house shoes.
Appearance– it’s old, very old.
Front desk staff– no issues checking in or when I had to change rooms.
Parking– adequately marked but not the most secure, it could use more lighting/​cameras.
Bathtub– yuck, very discolored & stained, mildew in the grout.
TV– works well, good volume, good remote.
Mattresses– the beds were comfy, firm but not too firm. Plenty of pillows.
Our second room overlooked the parking lot so there was a bit of noise from there. We could also hear a lot of talking from adjacent rooms although the walls are not thin, they were just noisy & inconsiderate.
Breakfast– basic but adequate, oatmeal, cold cereal, muffins, boiled eggs, bagels, coffee/​tea, OJ/​apple juice, apples/​oranges. The coffee was good and they had cups with lids so you could take one for the road.

The room was clean and plenty of space.
The beds were comfy
Pool was good
Customer service was average but helpful and nice.
The area surrounding the hotel is sketchy.
Lock your cars, hide your valuables and don’t talk to strangers.

My co-​worker and I (both high school teachers of cosmetology students) booked this hotel for a 2 day field trip to Austin. We had seven rooms for us, students and the bus driver. We booked it based on the reviews we saw on another site (that’ll teach me) and price. Our experience at this hotel was HORRIBLE! Our poor bus driver had to switch rooms 4 times! Her first room reeked of smoke, the second didn’t lock and the third the door didn’t even close properly. She was finally able to stay in the 4^th room.
Our room had stains all over the sheets which were never changed even though we left the «change the bedding» card on our pillow. Housekeeping did a very poor job of cleaning up and left out stuff that was obviously trash. Our TV did not work and was never fixed.
We had several problems with students rooms as well. One of our students rooms had a lock that did not work properly. One didn’t have a smoke alarm. Bath tubs were dirty. Holes and stains on walls. All around HORRIBLE!
I would NOT suggest the hotel to ANYONE! It was an awful experience and we will NEVER stay there again. Had I been paying myself I would have left to stay somewhere else. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy when you are dealing wIth a school district.

I’ve literally never stayed in a nastier hotel. Just walking around my room left the bottoms of my feet black. Room 106. Yellow spots on the «clean» towels. Tv didn’t work. Place smelt strongly of smoke & the tub was disgusting. I tried to call up to the front desk but couldn’t because the phone is broken; along with the clock as well. I understand it’s a LaQuinta but it should at least be a little clean… Maids are sweet. That is the only positive thing about this place. ALSO, THE PICTURES ON HERE ARE NOT UP TO DATE! Keep that in mind

Definitely a little on the shabby side, unfortunately. I’m not a difficult person to please, I have no problem staying someplace that is cheap, but I did have a few issues with the room. The floor was quite old and definitely needed to be replaced, not because it was dirty, but just because it was very old and showing that it had seen better days. Also, one of the panels in the window had a big ol’ crack in it. This normally wouldn’t have bothered me, but it rattled a little in the wind.
The price was quite fair, and the location was fine (Right next to the highway and minutes from down town) so I haven’t got any issues on tat front. The staff was also quite friendly and the maids were certain to wave and smile if you passed by, which I appreciated. Overall, it’s a quick and easy place to crash for the night, but it’s not going to win any awards any time soon.

The only reason I’m giving this place an extra star is because the woman working the front desk as we ran for the hills was SUPER nice about everything and tried everything she could to make us comfortable. I originally booked here for 3 nights but left after one — toilets were broken in two rooms, makeup on the sheets in the first room, cereal in one of the beds of the second room, a missing TV remote… and so many people visiting for hotel parties. I should’ve canceled my reservation when I called a few days before checking in and the person working the front desk was not helpful at all (I asked about the best way to get to the motel from the airport, pretty tame, right?) and hung up on me.
If you’re more concerned about location/​keeping things inexpensive, it’s a decent place. It’s a 30 minute walk to South Congress through some cute neighborhoods and it’ll be $ 4 a person to get into a random shuttle that sometimes comes by… I think the motel has a shuttle-​friend who will take you into downtown for $ 5?

The location is close to everything, especially if you are looking for a cheap place to stay near downtown. It is kind of run downish, but not in a gross way. The room was clean. The front desk area was fine, and the other guests were totally normal and not terrifying. The shower did not get hot, and the water pressure was weird, and the faucet in my room would not give hot water. Also the hairdryer in my room did not work, which really really sucked because I had to go outside with my cold wet hair from the cold shower into the cold and my hair looked like crap.
Some of the outlets also did not work.
