UNSAFE and disgusting. Avoid at all costs. We had booked this hotel over Origin Mueller because of the pool and the buffet. Huge mistake. I was told that this hotel is going out of business and that is the only logical explanation for why it is in such a deplorable condition and why they are neglecting such critical maintenance. - Leaking air conditioner caused room to smell of mildew - and on day 2, we found large amounts of BLACK MOLD. Once we saw this, we left immediately and switched hotels. - Pool was bright green and thick with algae. - Electrical outlets had exposed metal and caused small explosion that was super scary and ruined my plug. - Furniture is at end of life - like free side of the road (exposed stuffing, rips, etc). - Room just generally very tired and dirty. The list goes on and on. Terrifying experience that nearly ruined our trip to Austin.
