We booked this place because it was significantly more affordable than other hotels in the area. You get what you pay for, which was ok for our purposes. The hotel is dated and grimy, but the room was acceptable. The shower had such strong water pressure that it was almost painful. No mini-fridge or microwave in our room. We had trouble with the key cards, which the staff warned us about, and we had to get new ones about halfway through our trip. The hotel is built like a maze, and the signage is weird, so we were always getting lost looking for our room. BUT, the staff was very friendly and helpful. And the location was great! Right next to the Capitol building, and within walking distance of UT Campus, the State History Museum, and "Dirty 6th Street," where there are lots of party bars and restaurants. We did take a lot of Ubers to get to get to other areas of town, like West 6th Street, which is a cleaner and nicer night out. Overall, I would stay here again, because I'm a cheapskate and I don't tend to spend a lot of time in the room when I'm traveling.
