The people here are the most hospitable people I've ever met in my life. It’s not a looked at 1st but they’ve quickly made it feel like home!

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 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!

My stay was great at the Unica hotel. My room was very clean and bedding was nice and clean. The showers was great because it was clean and the showers had very hot water. I would stay here again.

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

Super high value for a low price. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Some of the rooms don’t have a private bathroom or shower, and the rooms are almost always sold out, but other than that you can’t get anything else of that quality for that kind of price around Austin.

When I first checked in the original room I got wasn’t cleaned. Had a dirty towel on the bed and bed was unmade. After getting another room I’m not sure if it was the chemicals used to clean the room or the humidity was that strong, I COULDN’T BREATH. I checked out after one hour of checking in. DO NOT STAY HERE.
