La Quinta Inn & Suites Austin Mopac North

$ 160 for a king during the week. Beds are as hard as a rock. Prostitutes walking down the halls. Very basic breakfast. I understand it’s Austin therefore upriced, but at least make it somewhat worth it by providing better amenities and food.

Typical La Quinta with a little less attention to detail. I didn’t stay here by choice. My original hotel messed up and sold my guaranteed room and transferred me here at no charge. My bed was shaped like a U. The iron wasn’t working. There hadn’t been any deep cleaning done in a long time. Lamps weren’t plugged in. Some outlets didn’t work.
Like I said, typical, no-​frills La Quinta. At least it was free, for me.

Stayed here 2 nights and was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, quiet and VERY pet friendly. The staff was helpful and friendly. The bed was very comfortable. The room had plenty of plug-​ins with surge protectors for charging a laptop and the WIFI was fast and easy to access. My only complaint is that there were no USB ports for charging a phone or tablet. Other than that all the basics are here.

This is our first time staying here and they put us in a room with a broken ac. They switched our room and in the current room you can’t watch tv unless you have the lights on?!? Not sure why. Then to top it off we found old chicken bones next to the bed! Lord knows how long they had been there.

This hotel is awesome, I almost always stay here when I’m in town. The staff is super nice and the rooms are cool. It’s in a great location, right next to whole foods and a big mall that has plenty of restaurant and shops. I’ve never used their pool, but it looks great. They do have a continental breakfast that’s ok, only cereal and pastries, no eggs, but it’s free so I won’t complain!

Don’t be alarmed by the bad reviews. This is a La Quinta. It’s nothing special but it’s exactly what you would expect from a La Quinta.
The breakfast was smaller but good and I had their coffee multiple times throughout my 4 night stay and it was good. The staff was friendly and the rooms appeared clean.
It’s nothing fancy but gets the job done. I enjoyed my stay and had no problems with this hotel.

Stay here if you would like your precious iPad and iPhone stolen from your disgusting room. When I called to let them know they disregarded. What a joke.

This was my first experience at La Quinta. I was really hoping for a good experience but unfortunately, it was not. Go somewhere else.

This place is, well, just OK. It is a little shabby, and slightly unkempt. Not awful and filthy, but just not great. The bed, TV, bathroom, etc were all fine, breakfast was pretty limited. The best thing about it is the proximity to Whole Foods, where you can get a really rocking breakfast.

This La Quinta is kinda awful. Staying here an entire week. Was told the elevator would be fixed Monday and it’s Wednesday and still no elevator on my side of the hotel, and they put me on the third floor. They can’t seem to remember to give me new paper cups every day and they don’t put trash bags in the trash cans. The fact that there aren’t trash bags in the cans seems highly unsanitary to me. Isn’t this a health code violation? They also took my toilet paper roll holder off and just left it sitting on my bathroom counter. And I had MOLD all over my shower curtain the first morning. Had to call and have them replace it.
It seems the employees here are miserable. Maybe if they liked their job they would treat the guests better and actually follow through with the room service.

For the price, not very good. Very small trash can in the rooms and only 1 trash bag. No microwave or fridge. I have been to many hotels but never have seen these missing.
The only reason we got this was because it was closest and the only good la Quinta with acceptable reviews. All La Quintas I have been to are much better.
Also, do not put the adress into the GPS/​phone or you will get lost.
The breakfast was free but lacked options compared to other hotels with free breakfast and La Quintas. I would only get this place because it is pretty safe compared to other La Quintas in the area except downtown where prices will be higher. Staff were nice. Again, for the price not worth it but other than that it was ok.

I was really surprised at how clean and comfortable this La Quinta was. I’ve been to a few in the past when traveling. They’ve really updated the look of the lobby area and rooms. I like that the room temperature is regulated by a thermostat on the wall instead of the actual A/​C vents. It’s also away from the beds, which is better cause I feel like the air vents blow cold air while I sleep making me sick. There’s free breakfast with Texas-​shaped waffle makers, cereal, fruit, juice, tea, and coffee. This hotel is at a great location right across from the Domain if you’re looking for a place to stay that’s affordable. You can spend more money shopping!

Welp, that’s it. I never have to find another hotel in Austin. This is my go-​to.
Actually, let me back up. I went to UT Austin for undergrad, and every time my mom came to visit (little weenie dog in tow) this was her hotel of choice. Rates were reasonable, they took dogs, had free breakfast, what’s not to love?
Now that I live in the Midwest and come back to Austin a few times a year for work, I’ve kind of struggled to find a good hotel for a reasonable price. I decided to give the ol’ La Quinta a try and found it was actually a pretty good fit for business travel too! When I came back from a rough day at the office, I could float around in the pool. I could swing through the lobby and steal some breakfast before heading out for the day. It offers a lot in terms of a quiet, relaxing location to get some work done.
But the best part is definitely that this hotel now literally shares a parking lot with a Whole Foods. YES! «Oh, I’m hungry.» Walk to Whole Foods. «I kinda want some wine.» Walk to Whole Foods. «Ahhh, I forgot toothpaste.» Walk to Whole Foods. «I want coffee, but not weird hotel room coffee.» Walk to Whole Foods.
It’s pretty much like staying IN Whole Foods while you’re in Austin. It was totally worth the horrible commute up and down Mopac /​Burnet to get to my office downtown! I’m definitely staying here for all of my business travel if I can.

There’s a line that shouldn’t be cross in customer service industry but unfortunately last night i saw and heard something that really bother me a lot even though not my problem to worry about. So i stayed there for few nights got clean room and bed as i hoped so, but the one thing very lack of is the «professionalism in customer service» that’s been abused beyond border line (a professional manners wouldn’t hurt right?!). I got no problem about it as I’ve experienced worse but i just need a room and bed to rest after long day work. And so i heard this other guest looking for a good food and asking front desk V about it and they recommended him some restaurant near by; but came to my curiosity, since when a guest is asked to bring a free food back for them is allowed? I also overheard front V desk G arguing about free foods for front desk employees for recommending guest? Man. omen…, what have this service industry turned into!!! What had happened to professional corporate level of services!!! Thank goodness I survived first night with clean towel and bed sheet but carpet definitely need steam cleaning from sticky residues and most definitely professional manners of the front desk staffs need BIG improvement by not asking free foods with high-​tone-​deafening-​pitch. They really need to learn how not to bring bad days to work because hotel is also part of service industry, don’t forget that! I’m still nice to leave two stars or else nada.

There are hotels that are stay places and there are hotels that are a bed and a shower places. This is the latter and sometimes that is all one needs. Comfortable bed, clean and no thrills. Cheap and easy.

For years, my parents have stayed in this hotel when they visit Austin. The staff are really friendly, and the free continental breakfast is simple, but filling. Most of their visits have been average at best, but the main advantage is the location, which is convenient to visit various family members.
Recently, my mom left a jacket in the room, and didn’t notice until nearly a week later, when they were returning to the Austin area for a camping trip. My parents called the hotel staff, who were polite, but unhelpful. Finally, after a few phone calls, an employee explained that they had miraculously found the jacket, describing it in detail. When my parents drove an hour out of their way to pick up the jacket, it could not be found. Finally, after a few more phone calls, it was determined that the jacket was locked in the manager’s office. Once again, my dad drove an hour out of his way to pick up the jacket, after he called to confirm that the manager was present. The staff encouraged him to drop by. When he arrived, the manager was too involved with people from the corporate office to see him, or allow him access to my mother’s jacket. Angry, my dad left.
It’s now been more than a month since the jacket was left at La Quinta. The manager fails to return any phone calls, and staff promise to sneak notes under her door instead of interrupting her day. I can’t imagine what she would have to do on a daily basis, that is more imperative than basic customer service. She is completely unhelpful, unprofessional, unorganized and simply lazy. If this kind of attention is paid to everything in this hotel, I would hate to imagine the type of care given to food preperation and cleanliness. When I was finally granted access to the jacket, the manager (Linda W) went so far as to make a snide remark. I noticed that the jacket smelled heavily of washing powder and perfumes, which indicates that it was definitely washed, and I can only assume that it is a direct result of someone taking the jacket home.
When corporate office was contacted, they informed my parents that it is their policy not to contact a person if an item is left in the room. If, for some reason, you find yourself staying at this hotel chain, make certain that you take all your items with you, because somebody probably has their name on your posessions the second you shut your door for the last time. I’ve always felt that it was a common courtesy to try to return someone’s lost belongings, but apparently common courtesy is against La Quinta’s corporate policy.
Do yourself a favor, stay at a hotel with integrity.

I’ve stayed here once, and my mother has stayed here once when visiting.
Both experiences were positive, but not out of this world.
As someone who used to be in a different hotel room every night I’d say this is above average for the price, but not exactly a «steal».
Free breakfast in the morning until 9 AM, which was decent. They give you a shit ton of extra pillows. The blanket is too thin and the A/​C in our room didn’t work but hey, if you wanted a fancy hotel experience, why are you staying at a place that costs 100 $ a night?
The staff are friendly and put up with my dad being a major dickweed without losing their calm, I still feel so bad about that.

Hey Kat, ask your Mom for me: How do you get a room for $ 80 with a mini-​fridge at this La Quinta?!?
Other than that, this hotel is pretty much what you’d expect from La Quinta. A clean quiet room, nothing terribly fancy but mostly up-​to-​date. No flat screen TVs here (at least not yet), and it seems a little weird that wireless Internet is only available in the lobby. Wired Ethernet connections in the rooms, and there’s a cable already there (so no need to have one with you, nor do you have to beg the front desk for one).
However the Ethernet cable in my room had seen better days, and it was severely kinked, and didn’t work. So I went to the front desk with that awful cable in hand. The woman at the counter apologized, and said she’d go find one and bring it to me at my room. Sure enough, she appeared at my door 10 minutes later with a pristine new cable, still in the plastic bag. Nice.
La Quinta has free breakfast in the lobby every morning, including the ubiquitous do-​it-​yourself waffles. Note to self: The built-​in 2-​minute timer on the waffle irons isn’t long enough. Let it cook another half minute or so, if you (and everyone else eating breakfast nearby) can cope with the thing beeping for 30 seconds…
