La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Capitol / Downtown

2/10 Terrible
"Room was not very clean, bathroom was dirty and had a urine smell. Air conditioner did not function correctly and the main room was not very clean as well. Parking structure was dirty as well. Stayed 20 mins and left the property to another stay at another hotel."
