Ocho Motel is so, so.

Overall the stay in the hotel was alright, nothing special. For the price this is a good place to stay at. The staff (except for the morning check in person) looked like they where unhappy being there. Especially the night clerk, which was not even in her station at night. Overall it's an ok place to stay.

Just what we needed

The guy at the front desk was very helpful when we needed a cab to go to 6th street. It was well worth the $$ for a quick overnight stay.

One Random Night in Austin

It was an okay stay. We chose this place because we couldn't find anything closer to downtown at a decent price. The pool looked great but we never had time to check it out. The lady at the front desk was very helpful in getting our rooms situated. We had come ine early and she found us a room to settle in quick. Thanks!

Take a taxi to Downtown so you can walk everywhere from 6th to 4th Street. Parking is hard to find sometimes. I didn't know you were allowed to smoke in hotel rooms anymore. The hallways would stench of smoke.

Great place to stay for the weekend!

It was a great hotel with friendly staff. I wouldn't stay longer than a weekend, but it was perfect for the cost and I was very well satisfied and would go back! Very cute front desk lady as well :)

Pool open when others are closed

Excellent price. Pool & hot tub open when others are closed. Coffee always available. Area close to downtown. Close drive to resturants, WalMart. Had a comfortable stay. Beds were comfortable. Carpeting on our floor needs to be replaced.

Noisy and uncomfortable

Our stay at the Super 8, Austin was not a pleasant experience for my wife and me. The matresses on the beds were a low quality and I cound feel the innersprings on my back. The motel is located next to I-35 and the noise from the traffic made it almost impossible to sleep. The outside lights penetrated the curtains and I had to hang a bedspread to darken the room inorder to sleep. The morning cleck asked how was our stay and when I complained, she seemed uncaring and said nothing.
