Value Place Hymeadow

I got a single bed studio — stayed for a bit over 2 months while exploring the city and waiting to purchase a house after relocating to Austin, price is great, somehow I got the price to be $ 23/​night, internet is super slow, I ended up just getting my own mobile hotspot.
The place is very secured, camera every where and you need your room key to enter the building so made me feel safe…
Kitchen/​cabinet in the room are cheap quality they were peeling off.
If you have any personal items int he bathroom they will not clean your bathroom so make sure to remove it, I learned the hard way… same goes for table, TV, etc.,
TV had basic cable so you’ll get by… but TV is very small
Even just being by myself, the room was small I felt trapped and depressed when I was in the room, may be it was the décor and the color of the blanket or something LOL…
Good bang for your buck, takes care of the basic stuffs,

I got a single bed studio for one week while I was apartment hunting during my relocation to Austin. I was mostly influenced by the price, which was $ 30 cheap than the next cheapest place, and markedly lower than the average price.
Checking in was simple, and they were even able to point out some of the places we were looking for on the map of nearby points of interest they gave us. It’s a ways away from downtown, but there’s enough places to eat and entertain yourself nearby.
The building itself looks pretty new. Well lit on the outside, no shortage of parking. Once or twice I could hear loud bass from a car coming or going. There’s a dirt patch beyond the parking lot where some kids were hanging out and grinding on their BMX bikes, but they didn’t seem interested in disturbing anyone around the building.
Inside, things are clean and bright, if a little sterile and austere. You’ll see lots of cameras, and when you check in, you can see that all of them are easily monitored by the staff. The elevator is a little slow, nothing worth worrying about though.
The room was a little underwhelming. No significant wear or damage. Reeked of smoke, and I don’t recall ever having the option to choose a non-​smoking room. An air freshener made it bearable, and I only noticed it the first minute or two each time I’d walk in. Air conditioning and heater worked well. The heater smelled dusty, but there’s rarely an occasion to use it so I understand.
The kitchen is bare bones. 2 electric burners with a vent hood. Microwave, sink and full size fridge seemed to work well.
The bathroom was nice enough. Not much storage space, but plenty of pressure in the shower and we never ran out of hot water. You don’t get a ton of towels; 2 large towels and 2 wash clothes.
The bed was okay, fairly firm. The pillows are a little flat, so maybe bring one of your own. The bed is a little noisy if you roll around a lot. in your sleep.
I didn’t spring for any extras except the internet. «High Speed» might be a little bit of a misnomer, but it works okay. It’s a wired Ethernet connection, so only one device at a time. You can get work done, but a Youtube video might take several minutes to buffer.
If I had to do it over again, I’d probably book here again. Not great, but you get what you pay for.

I stayed at Value Place Hymeadow in January, 2010. The experience was infuriating. They stole from me. They charged me for linen service, which I was told at check-​in I would not be charged for. They double-​charged me for days near the end of my stay. I questioned them thoroughly about the bills, but it didn’t matter. They lied right to my face. I’d read reviews of other Value Place’s online before staying here, so I was forewarned that there was a possibility that they would do this.
There is little sound insulation in the rooms. You will hear your neighbors’ cabinet doors and toilet lids slamming shut. Maybe, like me, you’ll have a neighbor who plays the TV way too loud, screams at his kids, or beats the wall with his fist.
So, why two stars? I didn’t see any prostitutes or gang bangers hanging around the place.
