For some reason, Qype does not accept the location Buda so made it Austin. We stayed at Microtel for a few days during SXSW2013. The pricing was ok and 15 driving minutes to the South Congress epicentre a short distance. Positvely, we could check in very early, what is not usual for this kind of hotels. Rooms and beds were good, bathroom for a new hotel a bit old fashioned. However, we basically came to sleep after the showcases. And here’s the negative side: as most buildings in the US, this hotel is build of wood and, you guess, you can hear your neighbours’ bedsport activities quite detailed. I don’t mind, but it gives you a light sleep during the night. As well as the aircondition. I thought this kind of 1980s rammed below window boxes are out of fashion. No, they still exist and quite loud. It took me a while find out how to switch this bastard completey off. So, due to all this disturbances I had to sleep longer in the morning. And here’s the next bummer. The room service pays no attention to your room, if you’re not left until 11am. So, we had three days with a non cleaned room. I don’t mind that much, as long as I have enough towels. But this is definitly a big service minus. I did not have any breakfast, so I cannot rate here. Wifi is free but pretty slow, once many people are logged in.
