Fodor's Expert Review Super 8 by Wyndham Austin Downtown
1201 N. I--35, Austin, Texas, 78702, USA
For no-frills, reasonably priced lodging close to downtown, you could do worse than this basic two-story brick motel located just east of the northbound I–35 access road. There's an outdoor pool and decent views of downtown from the second floor. Rooms come with clean, hardwood floors, but the furniture is outdated and the beds fairly shabby, but for these prices it's hard to complain. An employee cautions to beware of "party people," so ask for a quieter room, away from highway noise, especially during UT home games and citywide festivals like SXSW. Breakfast is free but nothing special, with the exception of Texas-shape waffles. Franklin Barbecue is a short walk away.
PROS
- unbeatable price point
- free Wi-Fi and parking
- proximity to downtown
CONS
- not scenic
- pool is not inviting
- guests tend to be partiers
