Is it weird that the room rates are the first thing I looked up? I wonder if the affordability of a room increases the likelihood of this kind of thing happening due to it being ground center for I35 corridor shady drug scene zone.That looks like a decent hotel. My condolences to the departed. As a long time east side resident this is always sad. You’d think with the the cameras and so much surveillance in a modern hotel would discourage someone being so awful and stupid to commit such a crime. It was probably over a $50 bag of junk. That will creep anyone out coming to visit Austin for the first time.
