Yes, the neighborhood is hip and the decor has a certain weird charm (that vase of blue silk flowers! cool!), but I do expect my room to be neatened up daily. Room was small and dark. Bathroom absolutely tiny with poor ventilation. Retro chairs are not comfortable. No usable surface to set a laptop on. Also, no hairdryer and no... More

This seems like a great place to stay, family owned and operated non-corporate eclectic, the website lets you look at and chose the room you'd like to reserve, each is unique. We booked a room for two separate days. Upon our arrival we were told that the room we reserved was double booked and we were given another room. That... More

This is not a fancy hotel, but for $80 a night with tax included, it was incredible. Great location in the heart of trendy Soco, across from the Continental Club, a short walk to downtown. Hotel is hip, has a great pool. Our room was small, but we didn't come to Austin to stay in the room. It had wood... More

My wife and I stayed one night here and it was kind of fun. It was different from your modern hotels; it's a pretty old place. If you like old places, and the nostalgia associated with them, you might like this place. I think the desk clerk said it's over 70 years old. The staff was friendly and our room... More

I honestly felt tricked. Lonely Planet recommends this place in one of their books, plus it gets mentioned in other "best of Austin" lists, so I thought, why not? The lobby is cool because there are two cats there, and I like animals in public places, but-there was a strong cat odor. Walking to my room, I saw a roach... More

Older non-chain motel in heart of Austin’s trendy SoCo (South Congress) area straddles border between funky and shabby. What’s to like are the location, quirky “weird Austin” décor, inviting pool, and price, which is good for location but more than outlying chain motels. What’s not to like is general scruffiness, absence of basic amenities like luggage racks and hooks on... More

This motel is by far in the best location. I love SoCo and if you prefer the downtown/6th scene, it's a very short cab ride away. The price is very very affordable. You can't beat it anywhere within a 5 mile radius and the motel has so much more character than a RedRoof Inn. The rooms are tiny (fine with... More

Well maintained, quirky and eclectic. Each room is decorated differently and you can go on their website and choose which room you would like. Some rooms are very small, and some are very large 2 bedroom suites. there is a nice outdoor pool. The only thing that I think is, its time for new towels,although they are still white they... More

I realize that this is a "landmark" hotel and they are trying to keep a "weird" vibe. I'm all for that, however, dirty carpet and old bedspreads doesn't do it for me. The bath towels were beyond pathetic- really old worn 'used to be white' small towels. Airconditioners are window units that cycle on and off, so you have a... More
