Find somewhere else!
I would NOT stay here again. The entire place smelled like cigarette smoke. The attendants didn't attend to anything -- my sink was leaking/dripping all night. The shower curtain wasn't long enough to stop water inside the shower, and the yapping dog next door drove me nuts. Horrible experience.

Good enough for price.
Due to Grand Prix in town, hotel rates were INSANE. For the regular price, this hotel is clean and comfortable enough (though the pull out sofa was ridiculous—don’t plan on the suite sleeping more than 1 bed’s worth if you can avoid it). Nice having a full kitchen if needed, and the location was great—walking distance to moody theatre and downtown. If you want amenities, this is likely not the place for you. If practical and affordable is your goal, this will do it for you. Free parking for folks staying there , and pretty low priced for inner Austin. Can you get less expensive? Maybe. Can you get nicer? Certainly, but in my experience visiting Austin, you’ll likely pay double, triple or more—plus daily parking.

Dear Steve, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay at Extended Stay America. We're glad to read that you found our hotel to be clean and comfortable and that you appreciated having a full kitchen.

Your feedback is invaluable to us as it highlights where we need to refocus our efforts, and we assure you we will. It was a pleasure hosting your visit, and we look forward to seeing you again.Sincerely,Hotel Management

Entire room felt dirty
The room had an overpowering smell of Fabulosa. It was like someone just dumped a bunch on the floor to cover something up because the floor was still sticky in some areas and slick in others. The room and carpet were damp, and it felt very unsanitary everywhere. The towels had long black hairs on them, as well as on the toilet seat. Overall, I felt gross being in there.

There were suspicious clientele here that made our stay uncomfortable. A woman shouting from the second floor window for us to call the police, there were homeless people hanging-out in the parking lot, which was full of trash. The bathrooms were needing remodeling. And they don’t provide room service except for every 2 weeks which we weren’t made aware of upon checking in. Entry and hallways were filthy, It was a fend for yourself type hospitality. Beds were comfortable and ac was good.
