Motel 9 University-Downtown

我的浴室沒有浴簾。所以洗澡時，水都會濺到浴缸外的地板造成積水。房間設備老舊。 對我唯一的好處就是距離UT很近，去學校很方便。

This place looked decent online. The price was good. That should have been my clue. Austin is expensive. I booked on their website. The night I showed up, I didn't even have to check in. I could see clearly what I was in for. It was an absolute dump in a bad part of town. I told the man at the check-in desk that I wished to cancel because it was not a nice place. He said he would cancel but that I would still be responsible for the first night. I appealed to him and said, "this isn't a nice place. It doesn't look like the photos". He said it didn't matter. Obviously it should matter, but my card was charged. I think this place make money by doing this. The reviews on other sites, which I did not see, demonstrate absolute filth. I called Choice Hotels. They said that this guy put me down as a "no show" which was not true. The Choice rep said they would tell the hotel to issue a refund. That has yet to happen. It's frustrating that I have to spend time chasing this money when a location of a major hotel chain is dishonest and practices false advertising. I can't recommend avoiding this place enough.

I know this is a motel, and didn’t expect much other than a clean room, but I didn’t even get that. Arrived at my room to find the door ajar. The bathroom had trash on the floor, long black hairs on various places around the bathtub and floor, and even on the clean towels, hair in and around the sink. Linens were very worn, including tears in bedspread. The juice machine in the lobby for continental breakfast was out of order (evidently had been for a while). No bottled waters in its place so had to buy a soda to drink with breakfast (there as a coffee machine, didn’t try it as I don’t drink coffee). The only reason I stayed at this motel is that is is walking distance to the stadium. Next time I’ll find a clean hotel/motel and take an Uber to the stadium.
