8/10 Very good

Slept well.
I knew this was an older hotel because one of my Uncles was the master carpenter who helped build it. The rooms are clean as long as you don't move furniture or look too closely at the walls. When I turned on the lights our little friends the roaches where all around the bathroom and vanity area. The white blankets had past stains, but they were clean. The beds were comfortable and the hotel staff was attentive and as some guests were playing loud music after 10pm the staff seemed to handle that well. Tiny roaches are not a deal breaker for me. They live in drains and the overflow of sinks and baths and are difficult to eradicate in older buildings.

Just fine for a low price hotel. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and it was quiet. I’ve stayed here before and I’ll stay here again.

2/10 Poor

When we drove into the parking lot at around 1030 pm there where people sitting on the steps of the motel, to be honest I think they were probably homeless people not even staying there. When I parked to go into the office, I told my wife to lock the door to the vehicle, I did not see this happen, but some strange guy came running out of a room and almost landed on the Expedia (Fox) rental vehicle scaring my wife. The fellow inside the office was very nice and I asked him if the area was safe which he assured me it was but did say there is occasionally homeless people in the area. I got the key, and we went into the room, the room was dark, the comforters on the beds where stained in a couple areas each, and I lifted the sheets off the top mattress and the mattress was yellow and fluid stained. I proceeded to the bathroom where in one if the corners were small granules which I honestly believe were from cockroaches. I told my wife to get back in the car and I returned the key to the front desk guy explaining that we would not be staying. This is a fairly run-down hotel, and I was shocked that this hotel was represented by Expedia and for this reason I have deleted my Expedia app. This is rated a 3.5/5 on Expedia when it is at most a 2 star and that's being more than fair.

Heart of Texas was ok. It was the only "affordable" option in Austin for a quick overnight, so I wasn't expecting much. Room was clean but white bed covers had some stains stains. Towels were small and worn. Bed was pretty comfortable. Room was quiet despite property being located right on the highway. Property was pretty rundown. The guy that checked me in was not particularly friendly. If you just need a cheap place to sleep, it's okay
