Pet-friendly Hotels in Montopolis

Let me preface this by saying that the only reason I chose this hotel at first was because it was one of the few hotels not pushing or exceeding $200+ per night during SXSW. I needed to be by the airport and away from downtown, so affordability and convenience to the airport were my top priorities. Secondly, understand that this is a Motel 6. The place is very short on amenities: no airport shuttle (though plenty of Uber/Lyft), no fridge, no iron/board, no hairdryer. But that was minor. Plus, the hotel doesn't say they have any of these, so I can't fault them. They do have an ice machine, laundry room, vending machines and microwave (in lobby) which were helpful. That said, we had a great experience here. It's definitely much nicer and newer than most Motel 6s. But what stood out for us was the outstanding service from the front desk staff, particularly Crystal. She definitely elevated our experience. The area isn't the nicest (not that I expected it to be, considering it's near the airport and the highway), but it definitely appears to be an up-and-coming neighborhood. There are a lot of reputable hotel brands in the surrounding area and newer, low-rise apartments being built. Not too many great dining options in the area, but there are the other hotels, Starbucks, 7-11, Denny's, and Waffle House all within 5-10 minutes away by foot. It could be worse. There is a decent food truck lot across the street. It didn't seem dangerous, but I'd still watch my back walking around at night. The hotel itself is a solid 3-rating, but I elevated it to 4 on account of the service. I would probably stay here again if the circumstances called for it.

I only gave this hotel a 1 star rating because it was clean, close to the airport, an the decor was updated. The customer service provided was the worse I've encountered and observed in a very long time. I booked this room on May 27, for check-in at 1am on May 30th. I did so because I had a 5-6 hour layover in-between flights. I wanted to shower and get a little sleep between flights. I explained my situation to the reservation person and was told the notations would be made on my reservation about the check-in time. I checked around 1am, and the man working the desk first told me he ”didn't have a reservation for me in the system. Once I pulled it up on my phone, then he appeared to be annoyed that I could prove I had a reservation. Then tried to tell me my reservation/room was no longer available. But he couldn't explain why it wasn't if there was a notation in the system about the time I would check-in. He gave me ”another room”. Signs on the floor indicated it was ”quiet hours”. However, once in the room, It was everything but quiet. I heard the TV playing in one room next to me and people talking in the other room next to me. It's not that either side was loud, the walls are very thin. The same clerk was on duty when I checked out, and was rude in his mannerisms. While waiting in the lobby for the airport shuttle, I noticed a gentleman, who looked a little dishelved, enter the lobby. He asked the clerk about the cost of a room. The clerk could have clearly given the man a price range. That's easy. However, he avoided giving any financial specifics at all, and just said it depends, and provided nothing else. The man paid for some snacks then left. This clerk seemed to be making a concerted effort to stop people from staying at the hotel. is bad for the hotel's business. I'm a HH member, but will never stay at this location again.

The facilities are relatively simple and close to the airport for easy travel.

Flight delayed and had to stay overnight. Front desk clerk was friendly and attentive Kitchen closed at 10p and we arrived right at 10p l. The kitchen staff went out of their way to make sure we were fed!!! This is what Hilton standards are for me. Hotel clean and updated. Only problem we had was waiting for the shuttle that night. We waited about 45mins. The AM shuttle ran frequently! Great value for an overnight trip!

Big clean room, comfy bed and the breakfast was also good. Nightshift-staff was really welcoming. But it would be good to mention in the hotel description that the airport-shuttle stops at 11pm. Anyway we can recommend and would book this hotel again. :)

Perfect

This is a fairly new property very close to the Austin airport. Property is kind of a hybrid - half the rooms on each floor are studio suites, with the other half basic rooms. My studio suite was a king room, with cooktop, microwave, fridge with freezer (about 10 cu ft, much larger than those mini-fridges), small dining table, seats 2), closet, no sofa chair, no luggage rack. Setup was efficient, but small. Only has room for 2 guests - while it says it's a suite, it's not very roomy. My son's Scout troop selected this property based solely on price, so parent chaperones needed to stay at the same property. Pros - great rate (book directly for best rate. I paid $53.99 for a studio suite about 3 weeks ahead of time. Most of the parents paid $64. Still a great rate for Austin). Book early. Those who waited until the last minute paid $110 for the same room I booked. Free parking. Large lobby with free coffee in morning. Lots of vending machines (ice makers on property as well.) TV had tons of channels with HBO and Showtime. Cons - parking lot has very limited spaces near building. The rest are down a steep hill on the same lot. No free breakfast (at all). No toiletries provided. Bring your own shampoo, Kleenex, hair dryer, etc. Bath only has mini-soaps. Property is near a busy intersection, so if you are sensitive, road noise will be a problem no matter what you do. Hotel was very busy when I was there. The same lady (Michelle?) was at the front desk working when I was there the whole weekend. She was very friendly. At check in, there was some drama with the couple checking in ahead of me and Michelle handled the situation like a champ! Kept her cool with some very upset people ahead of me. Seriously - management needs to have her put on a clinic to show others how to handle these situations. Overall, a good budget property. In light traffic, the drive to downtown was only about 12 minutes. With all the traffic, I don't recommend walking anywhere (plus the neighborhood seems a bit rough) but there are lots of food options and a massive grocery store (HEB Plus) a short drive away.
