Hotel Days Inn By Wyndham Austin/University/Downtown (Austin, USA)

Many guests liked the staff and appreciate the personable, friendly service, since housekeeping was pleasant and quick, and the front-desk staff was knowledgeable and willing to help out with things like printing boarding passes, recommending a restaurant and hailing a cab.

As guests noted, the hotel is rather affordable and therefore the rooms offer good value. After all, they include air-conditioning, a fridge, a microwave, a safe, a flat-screen TV and are fairly spacious.

Guests liked the fact that the hotel is situated near the highway, which makes traveling across the area a breeze. It is also right next to St. David's Medical Center, a 20-minute walk from the University of Texas campus and two miles from downtown Austin and the Texas Capitol.

With the hotel's proximity to the highway, guests noted that having the windows open or being outside went hand in hand with dealing with a lot of noise. Some also pointed out that the walls appear to be rather thin, making it possible to overhear others' conversations. A few guest stated that the older air-conditioners added to the overall noise level.

Only some of the rooms have been partially updated, so many guests reported dirty and worn carpets, rusty appliances, permanently stained bedding and a musty odor.

As some guests noted, parking is difficult to find in the evening, the pool is closed a lot even during the summer months, and Wi-Fi is spotty at times.
