Room was damaged from various parts (hole in the wall), housekeeping didnt clean anything properly routinely-- the sink and toilet was dirty from the moment we checked in, to the point where we had to sanitize the area ourselves.

Aiden Austin City Hotel
Cockroach and tick in the room, left the property immediately. Staff (Jose Lopez) unhelpful, claimed I was lying even after I showed him videos of the bugs. Room was poor otherwise - small, poorly lit - much better options in the area.
