Casey
This was our first time staying at the Austin Motel and we will definitely return! The staff was friendly and the place was clean.
Ashley
Absolutely loved our stay in Austin. So close to all to w fun spots with bars, food, live music, coffee etc. hotel staff was excellent whether it be at the lobby or the pool we had a great stay felt very safe and well taken care of. Can’t wait to come back !
Victor
Such a fun hotel in the heart of SOCO!! Love love this place!! Home Away from home!!
Wendy
Loved how uniquely decorated this hotel is. Chic, urban cowboy. Fridge comes well stocked and snacks/drinks are available for purchase. The motel is old, but think eclectic retro. If you want a unique experience, this is perfect and it is also perfectly located near great shops and food all within walking distance.
The only reason a took a star away is because the restroom is tiny with no counter space and the bathroom plumbing was a bit loose when turning on the shower ;again, it is an older property but well-maintained and very clean). I’d stay again. (Plus the hotel staff was great with communicating with us prior to our visit (which I appreciated).

Claudette
This is my home away from home and I’ve loved my stay every time I’ve been here. Can’t wait to come back again next year.!!!
David
Just an all around awesome stay. Clean and convenient location.
Fidel
Great place to stay and get away from everyday life. Location is near a lot of great clubs and restaurants. Have stayed here multiple times and will definitely stay again!!!!
Marie
The room was very clean.we loved that it did not smell of toxic air fresheners, or cleaning supplies. The only complaint is the strong smell of incense (coconut) in the lobby. Way too strong! None would have been better.
Jean
Such an iconic property! Its sun-faded colours, retro signage and pool design, along with the low hum of air conditioning, gave it a nostalgic feel, while the courtyard’s buzz and warm Texas air made it seem as though we had stepped back in time.
Vanessa
Love the motel !
Paul
Cool old nostagic old hotel. Very clean and fantastic location. Property is beautiful and very well maintained.
Josh
The best. Such a fun team and vibe.
Luke
I'm in Austin a bunch for work, this is my favorite place to stay. The location and the vibe are unbeatable, in my opinion. Charming staff, dynamite rooms and unrivaled walkability around this kick ass neighborhood :)
Michael
My stay at Austin Motel was absolutely fantastic. From the moment I arrived, I could tell this wasn't just another hotel—it has a unique personality, incredible charm, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of Austin.
The rooms were spotless, stylish, and thoughtfully designed with a retro vibe that feels both nostalgic and modern. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, always ready with recommendations and a smile. The location couldn't be better—close to great restaurants, live music, shopping, and everything that makes Austin special.
The pool area was a highlight of the trip. It was vibrant, relaxing, and the perfect place to unwind after exploring the city. Every detail of the property feels intentional, from the landscaping to the décor, creating an experience that is memorable and genuinely enjoyable.
If you're looking for a place that offers character, comfort, and an authentic Austin experience, Austin Motel is hard to beat. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.

The theme of the motel is fun. It has not been modernized much in the way of air conditioning. It still uses one of the old units, so it has to be given some time to cool the room. The bed frames are on theme but were a little low to the floor and made getting out of bed a little difficult. The fridge was also stocked with drinks and alcohols, so it wasn’t very useable for storing things that we needed to. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but some things could’ve been slightly better.
Michelle
I really enjoyed the retro vibe. I felt like I was taken back in time. Shopping and restaurants were all right outside of the property. My one suggestion is to bring a sleeping eye mask. The rooms have retro shades and light comes in. I need darkness to sleep. I suggested they start selling eye masks with the Austin Motel logo on them. I would have purchased one.
helene
Clean room. Cool vibe. I'd stay here again.
Jennifer
The location is great, the pool is fun, and the staff is nice and helpful. The parking was handy when my son came to visit. They have a fun vintage car night on Thursday nights in the summer. Overall it’s a good deal for the location and amenities.
Tenesha
I lived in Austin for 19 years before moving to Dallas and have always wanted to stay there. I’m glad we did, it was pricey but it was a great trip taking friends back to Austin because the location is perfect in the heart of everything. And of course, the pool is iconic.
Kelly
Great motel in the heart of Congress Ave; it’s a motel but feels like old Austin. If you enjoy the feel of Austin from 30 years ago, book now. I loved it so much!
Mary
cool place. great choice if you have a pet. surprisingly quiet give the location
Amy
Pool was small but super cute with a really fun vibe. Even though property is older, it is very clean. There is an ice machine and filtered water available. AC worked excellent and the staff was so friendly. Super convenient to all the restaurants and shopping on South Congress. Very fun weekend!
Jennifer
Such a fun place to stay!
LINDSEY
Fun visit! Great gift shop and was close to shopping. Would stay again!
Ben
Kind staff and very clean and fun room.
Grant
Unique spot with great staff
MARIA D.
Traveled with my son, Great location, fun vibes!
Scott
Location location location! Conveniently located on South Congress, walkable to plenty of restaurants and shopping. Parking is convenient. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful! The Motel achieve its retro vibe, although it could stand a bit of a facelift, it’s starting to show some age, although it is clean. The pool and the pool bar are awesome. Despite being on a busy road it is extremely quiet.
Kathleen
Such a cute motel. I especially liked the pool. All of the staff I encountered were lovely. At check-in, the woman at the front desk was happy to share things to do in Austin and how to get around. There was also a drag show one afternoon, and the queens came to the pool afterwards to socialize!
Thomas
Amazing historic place don’t love it too much tho it’ll be all videots!
caroline
Free parking lovely staff excellent location good value
Larry
Yes,we felt completely safe. The bar was well stocked. The staff was so friendly.
George
My room was updated but the sleeping experience was very much like a Motel 6 for 3 times the price! Poor and noisy AC/Heat, light from the neon sign streaming through the blinds, etc. Trending does not mean comfortable or even enjoyable.
Elli
We had the best stay! Cute aesthetic throughout the motel-- outdoor space, pool, lobby and such a great location. Staff were lovely! I can't wait to go back.
Pete
Property was great and plenty in the area to walk to
Daniel
Parking was very easy and free, which is always a perk in Austin!
Cornelia
Our room was clean, accessible, and quiet when needed. Room darkening shades would be a wonderful addition.
Trent
Great location & staff!
Olga
We’ve lived in an Austin suburb for 20 years and decided to celebrate our anniversary with an iconic Austin weekend, so the Austin Motel was an easy choice. The location is perfect for walking to many fun spots on So Congress and really experiencing the heart of Austin! Of course we took plenty of pictures under the famous retro Austin Motel sign and loved being just steps from the “I love you so much” wall, Jo's Coffee, Guero's Tacos, etc. The motel is super cute, the room was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the whole place has such a fun, funky vibe. It made for a great anniversary stay.
Meghan
We had a hard time sleeping because the room got a ton of light. We also had a baby tarantula that showed up cruising the bathroom floor.
Would have liked space in refrigerator for left overs.
Pool was great! Staff was helpful and kind. Nice to also have free parking for guests.

Was comped to a larger room. Room was clean and spacious. Love the location.

Tiny room. Hardly space to open your suitcase up and no place to set it down. Great location - across the street from the Continental Club and walkable to C-Boys, Gueros and The BAck Room.
Jessica
Iconic, vintage motel with modern comforts. Great location for shopping, food, and everything else that Austin has to offer. We will definitely return!
Scott
Room was spotless. Staff is amazing. I loved staying here. Throwback spot for those who remember Austin before the big tech money rolled into town.
Alejandra

Donna
It would have been nice to have a coffee maker in the room, but we enjoyed our stay.

Melissa
The hotel was great, from the atmosphere to the staff! Loved the pool and met some great folks, including pups! The area is super cool, walkable with lots of shops and dining options. Loved everything about this area and my stay!
Andrea
My favorite place to stay in Austin. Such a fun vibe! They even had the best water aerobics class at the pool. Absolutely a blast!
Kimberley
Perfect getaway. Electric atmosphere with exceptional staff.
Priscilla
This is just the coolest hotel. Great little shop at reception if you run out of drinks or snacks in your room. The pool is from another time, in the best way. Shower pressure was unbelievable, and I'm so glad they kept the old motel look to the rooms, despite the decor. This is a gem.
Inger
It’s an Austin icon!
Brad
Absolutely love this gem! In the heart of South Congress, close enough to downtown and so retro and chic!
Minette
Everyone at the Austin motel were friendly and welcoming. The pool and poolbar is a great treasure! Centrally located.
John
I like the location and the pool is always a good time. Very walkable to plenty of options.

Marnie
Austin Motel always a treasure. Great location and staff. Best pool on South Congress.
Marnie
Always a great stay at the Austin Motel. Thanks.
Brandy
We spent the weekend visiting Austin. South Congress is a cool walkable area. We enjoyed our stay at the Austin Motel. The staff was EXTRA friendly! Amazing customer service. The only reason I gave it four stars is the size of the room and the fact it is a motel with a Hotel price tag. I fully understand we are paying for location, so I am not complaining, but wanted to be honest. Staff gets 5 stars! The pool is awesome! Parking is good. And it is safe.
Ellen Leslie
Loved the pool area! The complimentary coffee in the lobby each morning was so good I had to find out what kind it was. Staff very nice! I thought the bed was comfy also. We will stay again when visiting Austin.oh and the free parking was a huge plus!

Frederick
This is an iconic place to stay.
Amanda
The staff is fabulous. They're beyond friendly, helpful and kind. The tv in my room was showing its age, and didn't work with my firestick that I always use when traveling, but the cable worked and the wifi was strong. I was really looking forward to using the pool but the weather had other plans. There's an ice machine but I didn't see any beverage machines, so keep that in mind. I loved my stay!
Tiffany
We had two unexpected guests (cockroaches), the front desk came promptly to remove one and my son killed another the next day. There was also filming/ photos going on which we had to wait to use the amenities because of. But the staff were very nice and apologetic which is why I didn’t score this lower. We won’t be going back unfortunately because of the roaches. We were constantly looking in the corners and in the sheets. My son was afraid to use the bathroom. I can’t unlink that image (fear) with the motel. It’s not an experience I wish to pay for again.
Chance
The retro decor was cool, but the room was real basic. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Although we didn’t get to use it, the pool and pool bar was really cool. The proximity to shopping, dining and entertainment district on S. Congress can’t be beat. Would definitely stay there again

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!

They have thought of everything (except for black out curtains)! Walk to fabulous restaurants and shopping!

Always a great stay at Austin Motel. Staff goes above and beyond, location and amenities are top notch.

the concept is great- the area is too gentrified - pool was noisy
Wendy
The entire property was adorable! And the staff was excellent - incredibly sweet and informative!
Gayle
Location, vibe, lots of open area on the front half. Great staff. Back side where majority of rooms are could use a bit of an upgrade.

Great place to stay in Austin! Loved the decore and atmosphere. It isnt a \"new\" property but has been kept up very well.
