Motel 6-Austin, TX - Airport - South

Access to freeway and near many eating spots.

Didn’t like that the pool was green and not cleaned for the guests.

Traveling with four generations of my family, plus my sons 105 lb German Shepherd. Myself, I'm an 80 yrs old, spry great grandfather, traveling with my son, 56 yrs old, his daughter, my granddaughter, 35 old, and her son, 8 yrs, old, my great grandson, and my son's 105 lb German Shepherd. We needed an overnight stay on a longish road trip. In booking.com, I found a two bed deluxe queen room for $59, with taxes, $72. Great deal! Then hotel is an older property, however, the rooms had recently been renovated, nice inside, and very clean. Tje room had setup for 4 people, plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, etc. There is a pool, unfortunately, it was closed 'for maintenance'. The pool had been drained. The maintenance was going to be a big project. My great grandson was disappointed 😥. The room was small, 200 sq. ft., the five of us would have to take turns walking thru the room, or to the door to go to the car. But, for our purpose, it was just right, at a great price. It was less than half the rate at other hotels in the immediate area. It is located just south of the central downtown area of Austin. Excellent location, easy off & on the expressway through Austin, and just 3/4 of a mile from our favorite breakfast restaurant, Waffle House. We did not use the complimentary breakfast. We checked in at 4 p.m., took turns taking showers, rested a bit, watched a movie on the huge TV in the room, then went to a close by restaurant for supper. Then back to the hotel room and sacked out for the night. We were uo and out of the hotel by 6 a.m., over to the Waffle House for breakfast, then hit the road again, clean, rested, and we'll fed! Going through Austin again, we'll be stopping at the Motel 6 South!

Pool closed, 200 sq ft room is pretty tight to move around in with two queen beds and over stuffed chair and moderate size table. But still, 4 people and a large German Shepherd made do OK, no real problems.

It was near the highway to get to and from Austin quick

The location on Apple Maps does show the right address but other than that all good

Room was clean, bed was comfortable

The smell. It smelt like cigarette smoke.
