La Unica

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!

La Unica is a great motel! Clean, quiet, and with convenient parking on-site. The location is excellent—close to The Domain and HEB. I was very satisfied and highly recommend it!

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!

Decent place, budget friendly, peaceful and quiet! It is a refurbished/repurposed nursing home, but it was no problem to us. It was as comfortable as any other hotel stay I've been at. The only thing that made us a little iffy was the community showers. Its 3 showers in one room, but you can lock the door so no one else goes in. It was real clean, the bed was soft, it had a microwave, a small fridge, your own bathroom, tv, drawers and desk with chair.

I love this place!!! It was so clean! The TV was the best set up I’ve ever seen!!! The lady at the front desk was nice and helpful!!! I’ll be back FER SURE!!!

I stayed here while performing at the SXSW Music Festival. La Unica was a cute little place (it’s a repurposed Nursing Home facility), and the staff were great. Annie & Nick were EXTREMELY helpful & friendly, and took care of everything I needed. The room was clean, the bed was nice and comfortable, so my only complaint is that they need bigger air conditioning units appropriate for the room size.The immediate surrounding neighborhood is a Spanish-speaking community, with great little bodegas and convenience stores, as well as a taco stand directly behind the hotel, which was super convenient (though pricey), and the food was great. It’s a slightly dense traffic area, because of school busses/the highway a few blocks away. Only 20mins from the main city area - super convenient.  Be aware that because it is a repurposed nursing facility, you do not have private showers in your room (just a toilet & sink in your bathroom). There are shower rooms with private stalls, just like a gym locker room type of setting, but there is a lock on the door so you can have that room to yourself if no one else is in there. It takes a few minutes for the hot water to kick in, but once it does, there is more than enough for a great shower, and the place is very clean. I had zero issues with anyone walking in on me or having to be in the shower room at the same time with anyone else. They provide you with towels, you just have to ask the front desk if you don’t have any extras in your room.

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.

The stay was amazing I was skeptical of the Hotel because of the price I expected it to be rundown, but it was very nice and comfortable

Stayed here twice so far and intend on continuing to stay here for myself and my spouse's once-a-month visits to Austin. Honestly, we were a little surprised our first day when we realized the shower was communal, but going to the showers during the late night meant we didn’t run into anyone. The bed is honestly the best part about this hotel. I stayed in two different rooms between this month and last month and the bed was HEAVENLY both times. Check-in process was a little confusing, Annie at the front was a little perplexed when we said we checked in online, but I think we got the hang of it, and things got straightened out! Works fantastic for our short stays!

Decent & budget friendly lodging place!

I was in Austin for a contra dance weekend, so my focus was not on my hotel room.  I needed a place to sleep and shower and generally this place supplied my needs, except for Saturday morning when there was no hot water.  Plenty of hot water at 6 pm Saturday evening, though.   The bed was softer than I'm used to, but the sheets were clean with no holes.  However, there was no pillowcase--the pillows both had shams on them with no pillowcase underneath, so I covered the pillow with my housecoat.   The only chair was a rolling office chair, which is difficult to sit in to put on shoes--I reached a little too far and it rolled out from under me, landing me firmly on the linoleum floor.  TV, tiny fridge and tiny microwave all seemed to work fine and so did the window unit AC.    The place is obviously an old nursing home, and more than a little spooky.  The neighborhood is very poor, and Saturday night there was an unhoused person yelling obscenities at the top of his lungs.  But he didn't come onto the property.  The desk clerk said if he had, then they would call the police.    They require a $50 deposit and I wanted to pay cash, but the clerk said she would not give me a receipt for the cash, so I put it on a debit card.  At check-out they said I'd get the deposit back in about 3 days.   The lobby had an interesting surprise--some excellent magazines--National Geographic and the Quarter Horse Journal.  I should have explored the lobby sooner!

I appreciate the low price

The bed is pure heaven!

The rooms are nice but not every room had a shower. I did not like the community shower they had. The staff were all very nice. The neighborhood is a little rough but I had no problems coming and going. They did not change my trash can the entire time there either but I did not ask. I would go back but they need to make the rooms non-smoking.

Even though this used to be a nursing home facility it was the nicest place I have stayed at in a long time. The room was clean and the bed was the softest I have ever slept in. The area around it is slightly run down but it was very quiet and we had no problem at all while we were there. The place is close to a few eating establishments and very close to the highway so easy to get on and off to travel farther into Austin. The best part of our stay was the ability to raise the window at night to listen to the rainstorm that came through.  And the second was the outside courtyard where we could sit outside to listen to the quiet at night. The owner was very friendly and sat and talked with us for a good 30 minutes just passing the time. I look forward to visiting this lodging again the next time I am in Austin and have told many of my family about it as well.

Like -friendly staff, very helpful in my request. For the price it met my needs!Dislike- noisy neighborhood …. Loud music from a next door apartments. No hot water in shower.
