El Matador 329 by Alicia Hollis Rentals

Vacation review

We enjoyed everything. I have made another great vacation

My stay at El matador

Had a horrible first night. Got in late, and the place was filthy. No linens on any beds. Food crumbs on the couch. I don't want to get that much into it, but it was that bad.

The issue was resolved the next day as a 2 person cleaning crew stopped by.

Overall, the place was OK. It was outdated, It had a nice feel to it. However.....

The bed in the master bedroom was the absolute worst. It was like sleeping on a squeaky box spring. Hard as a rock. Not pleasant at all.

The batteries in the TV remote had leaked making the TV unusable.

The kitchen worked out well for me as I happened to do some cooking.

The shower was OK.

The property location was no where near anywhere, and I searched the entire city for an ebike for basic transportation, but there was NOTHING. On my last day, I stopped by the rental office to drop off my keys... and low and behold, there were ebikes. Honestly, I was pretty angry. Apparently the guy out front had been away at a Frisbee golf tournament. I really wish I would have known about this in advance.

I feel like I shouldn't complain because i'm a friend of a friend of Austin. But I simply have to be honest. Overall, if I had to stay there again, I would probably cancel my trip.

*I'm from Scottsdale, AZ. There is no such town called Scottsboro that I'm aware of.

Thorough review

End unit so it had extra windows. Nicely decorated. The building was one close to the Gulf. Down from the pool so not much extra noise. Very family friendly. Could use some touch ups such as get rid of the old and dirty popcorn ceiling, needs new paint (lots of scruff marks on the walls), needs caulk around tub/shower. Only one frying pan. You need to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, soap. Chair and umbrella rentals are $45 per day. You need to reserve BEFORE you get there. Give yourself extra time to get around town; traffic is very congested. Located about 2.5 miles from a grocery store.

Needs Work

Poor condition. Roaches throughout the condo from the day we arrived until the day we left. Balcony door wouldn’t close. Toaster broken. Master bath plumbing clogged. Nice location, but poorly maintained.
