The Code Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve never stayed here before, but I needed a last-minute stay and they accommodated me by giving me an earlier check-in. The front desk was amazing and they contacted the manager of the building and he was smiling and very happy to help me and I got my room right away. When I got to this room, it is a new establishment I assume because everything was absolutely clean and perfect. There was an amazing refrigerator, cleanest water and ice. They have dishes cleanly put away. Everything looks amazing. Nice balcony amazing pool where you can look out on or go to. Restroom has multiple towels, cleaning items in the shower, makeup remover wipes, wrapped nicely and towels next to the mirrors. Laundry room, washer and dryer. Amazing bed. TVs where you can stream because I love to watch my Netflix lol I will almost every time go back to this establishment if needed. This is a very nice place. Don’t use anywhere else because it’s also a very good price!"

Orangewood Inn & Suites Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"This is a gem of a hotel. Everything was super clean and tidy. The place even smelled great, lots of amenities and extras in the room was very spacious and comfortable and quiet. I will be choosing this place anytime I need to visit again. The staff was super friendly, even had me check to make sure my DoorDash had included plasticware and they would provide me some if needed. That’s being proactive and more than helpful. It’s the little things and this hotel has all of it."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Austin South – Airport.

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super helpful and friendly, right from the start! The hotel is not the newest or fanciest, but everything was clean and well maintained in the room. Lights, remote, a/c, toilet, hot water all worked as it should. It would be a great upgrade to put USB charging ports in the light bases, in addition to the outlet ports. I really appreciate that the entire hotel is non-smoking! Would stay again!"
