La Unica is a great motel! Clean, quiet, and with convenient parking on-site. The location is excellent—close to The Domain and HEB. I was very satisfied and highly recommend it!

The price was great--very cheap. The bed linens were clean, which was great. The shower, however, had a very dirty floor. Glad I bought my own spray cleaner. Otherwise, the bathroom was fine, and everything worked, including the AC. The motel is a converted nursing home--and it looks and feels like it. Pretty creepy at night. But fine during the day when the sun is shining. If you need a place to stay on a budget, fairly close to downtown Austin, this is a decent choice. There's even a Target store half a mile away.

Honesty its what you expect for what you paid for. The room was clean. It had all the essentials. A bed and a shower. However coming home at night we noticed a lack of hot water. And thats the only issue we had. The rooms were spacious and the beds were basic overall an affordable staying experience in Austin

I refused to check in, but still did not get a refund via Expedia. The place has no working heat, is dark, dirty, and completely rundown. Luckily, I got the same rate that same night at a nearby Comfort Inn. The place would be a great setting for a Stephen King horror movie

Comfy!

I was pleasantly surprised, I booked this on accident and was unable to cancel due to me realizing too late. To keep this short don’t be discouraged from the location, it’s what Austin is about anyway. I was skeptical but once I stepped inside greeted by a kitty and a young man I was impressed. The room was clean the tv was nice and the showers although communal were lockable. Enjoyed this very unique experience! No problem with check out or with hidden fees as soon as we checked out our deposit was returned!

Decent & budget friendly lodging place!

Decent place, budget friendly, peaceful and quiet! It is a refurbished/repurposed nursing home, but it was no problem to us. It was as comfortable as any other hotel stay I've been at. The only thing that made us a little iffy was the community showers. Its 3 showers in one room, but you can lock the door so no one else goes in. It was real clean, the bed was soft, it had a microwave, a small fridge, your own bathroom, tv, drawers and desk with chair.

Converted Nursing Home.

This is one of the more unique hotels I have stayed at because it was clearly a converted nursing home. Somedony was dropped off at a home depot and told "here is $500 make this abandoned nursing home room into a hotel room". This is what you would get. Hey, everything was there--TV, Refrigerator, Microwave, shower... just in a different sort of way.
Extra wide hallways
Doors don't really need doorknobs--and the door has a combo lock with no security chain on the inside.
TV hooked up to the WIFI -- some other lady had already logged onto netflix so that saved time.
Cute refrigerator and microwave
