Cute Funky hotel in the center of the action. Great Restaurants and activities within a 3 min walk. Cool decor Room and hotel Amenities are basic but functional. No desk, no iron, no coffee maker. (But coffee in the lounge and Jo's famous Coffee is a 1-min walk.)

My family came in for a concert two days before thanksgiving. Room was great as per usual, and congress was a little busier than the norm. We had an amazing stay. Motel staff are always friendly.

Austin Motel is a cool little retro spot on South Congress - super walkable and cool staff. It's showing its age a bit, but for the price and area it was a fair deal. Free parking and easily walkable to shops and restaurants. Despite a few modern upgrades, it literally is a motel - outdoor staircases, courtyard pool and all. If you're into that vibe, this is a pretty clean and functional example of how to reboot an old motel (but definitely not as done up as an Ace Hotel). Cute gift shop in the lobby selling art and merch from local artists and fun classic café and bar on street level.

Cute but overpriced
Cute motel with a long history. But it’s just that - a motel. And if you’re not in one of the rooms close to the pool, you feel like you‘re in a very mediocre motel. The rooms are nicely decorated but the wear and tear of a place that has been around since the 1930‘s is pretty visible. The rooms are definitely overpriced.

For as famous as this motel is…
We had an east facing window. Blinds with no curtain, so I was awake at 6am. Honestly was up all night from the street lights coming in the window also. Then I got a parking ticket even though I registered my car. The front desk said they would take care of it, which was very nice. Not sure how to confirm that.
