Cutest place to stay in Austin!

They went above and beyond, as usual! This place is my go-to for the most uniquely Austin experience. The perfect mix of retro aesthetic and modern comfort. The staff was so friendly and made our trip extra special. The pool was perfection - top notch frozen margaritas!

Iconic Austin stay! Even though there was a private event booked for the pool, we were accommodated at their sister hotel, Hotel San Jose, which was an also an amazing experience!

Great last minute find, swapped from downtown to south congress and glad we did, parking was easy and outside the room and the room was cute!
Georgia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Worth it for the location alone. Bring your own toothpaste, soap, etc. because it isn’t in the rooms, but the bed is super comfy and we found it to be very pleasant.

My daughter just moved to Austin and I now have my favorite place to stay when we visit! Mattie, at the front desk, was super friendly, accommodating, hospitable and went out of her way to make sure my experience was excellent all around! Love the Austin Motel swag by the way! Brett at the bar was super nice as well!!

Funky little modern motel in the heart of SoCo. Staff were awesome, my little room had a sort of retro modern vibe to it that was cool.
Christian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a delightful motel surrounded by lots of restaurants and stores. It is also a short walk from the bat bridge and we had a spectacular viewing of the bats exiting the bridge. It was also within walking distance of Black's barbecue.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love this retro motel and awesome courtyard bar. We stayed in a deluxe king room and my only complaint is that there was no hook by the shower for your towel when you need it post shower and there is no microwave for reheating leftovers from the many great restaurants around the area.
Yancey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I won’t stay anywhere in Austin but here! Great location with lots to see and do. This hotel is always super clean and comfortable. The staff is awesome!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Iconic sign, friendly staff, clean rooms and a killer pool make this the best place to stay on S. Congress. Walked to the bat bridge, Lady Bird Lake , Home Slice and all the area has to offer. Saw a great show at The Continental Club late and easy walk to our room after!
Paul, 1-night trip
