When I first checked in the original room I got wasn’t cleaned. Had a dirty towel on the bed and bed was unmade. After getting another room I’m not sure if it was the chemicals used to clean the room or the humidity was that strong, I COULDN’T BREATH. I checked out after one hour of checking in. DO NOT STAY HERE.

I didn't want to give too low a review because I believe this stay has the bones to be top-notch. First off, the staff were incredibly friendly and accomodating. Very approachable. The showers were in common spaces but that didn't really bother me since you can lock the door. Security was pretty good, cameras everywhere and digital locks on room doors. It seemed like nothing was attached to the walls though when it came to towel racks, screws sticking out of the tables in the shower room, and the swing lock being loose. Rooms were very nice and rennovated, even if the smokey hallway makes you think otherwise. The area has great food, it helps if you know Spanish. No one really bothers you if you don't bother them, use basic street smarts. Overall, I think this place can be a great bang-for-your-buck with a few improvements which they seem already aware of.

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.
