You cannot beat the location of this place. It's right on South Congress, and my golden retriever loved strolling the area. The rooms are eclectic, if a bit dated (that's part of the charm), but they are clean. more

Don't expect flat screen tv's and turn down service at this hotel. The room was very sparce (no desk included) but clean and the staff was helpful but aloof. The major selling point is the location. You really can't get much better in Austin, everything from great tacos to live jazz is 3 blocks away. It's Austin...how much time do... more

We stayed at the Austin Motel for 3 nights. It was everything I imagined and more. It was our first trip to Austin and we were looking for an authentic Austin vacation. The Austin Motel helped us with fulfilling this. The location couldn't have been any better, our room was small and comfortable, the rates were VERY fare. If I... more

We stayed at The Austin for two nights in August. We knew going in that it wouldn't be like the more comfortable chain hotels that we usually go to, but that it would be an Austin experience. Our room (The Zen) was clean and the air conditioning was LOUD but functioning. The pool was really nice and often empty, so... more

We've stayed at the Austin Motel half a dozen times, each with a unique experience. The worst being our last (and final stay). Our window unit was out in the middle of July. We didn't get there until late at night and there were no other available rooms. Full of wine and dog tired, we opted to stay. With the... more

I visited Austin for five days over the Memorial Day weekend. The Austin Motel was a great place to stay. My room was clean, the pool was cool and I felt very comfortable there. It was in a perfect location as well. I would definitely stay there again. more

My husband was deployed and was trying to surprise me with a trip to Austin. He wanted to stay at this hotel and when he called to try to reserve a 3 night weekend stay. He told them that he is deployed and was willing to pay a deposit to reserve the room. The lady on the phone said with... more

We only stayed one night in Austin, and the location of the Austin Motel was perfect. The San Jose hotel next door looked beautiful, but not worth paying twice as much as the Austin Motel for the same location. We stayed in room 117, and although it was still a good price, I didn't think it was all that snazzy... more

We stayed for 3 nights at the Austin Motel in room 117. This room is exactly as it is in the pictures on the website, it was clean and the bed was so soft and comfortable. The locations is perfect for those wanting a funky look at Austin, Güero’s Taco Bar is just up the street and is a must... more
