Top Central East Austin Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Austin Downtown/Capitol Area

8/10 Good

"Super 8 in Downton/Capitol area is a budget hotel and perfect for our stay in Austin. It’s walking distance to many things and in a great location. Yes it’s a little rundown, but the beds and sheets and bathrooms are clean. As it’s a budget friendly motel, expectations need to be managed. Breakfast is included, they provide coffee all day, and the staff are friendly."
