Concierge "Long favored by cost-conscious artists and musicians, it's charming and hip without feeling pretentious."
Rough Guide "Basic rooms in a trendy old motel in the funky South Congress district. A favourite with visiting musicians, it’s across the street from the venerable Continental Club."
Gayot "Yes, this is a motel, but it has a fun, vibrant sense of style and is a far cry from typical, cheap chain digs."
BlackBook "This isn’t a motel masquerading as a Turkish steam bath. It’s just got a mad sense of humor to go with its mad South Congress Ave. location."
Fodor's "What used to be a fading 1938 motor court is now a beloved, quintessentially-Austin motel." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Austin Motel's retro sign is a local icon." Full review
Not For Tourists "Funky hotel with theme rooms. Nice staff, cool location."
Afar Magazine " The 41 guest rooms are a retro mash-up of red vinyl tufted beds, silk-screened music posters, and kitschy lip-shaped rotary phones." Full review

Frommer's "A convenient (but not quiet) location in the heart of SoCo and great rates make this place very popular." Full review

Frommer's "This budget Starwood Hotels (Westin) property, inspired by the W Hotel chain, is a great option for young business travelers on a budget." Full review
Fodor's "This trendy offshoot of the W provides more basic, Euro-chic accommodations that placate the sensibility of the brand’s up-and-coming urban audience." Full review
Travel + Leisure "I'm a big fan of Starwood's modern, hip and reasonably priced Aloft chain." Full review
Frommer's "This boutique hotel might come off as corny if it were less skillfully done; instead, it’s charming and fun. The rooms have braided rugs, cowhide director’s chairs, and full-size SMEG refrigerators." Full review
Frommer's "It’s charming and fun. The rooms have braided rugs, cowhide director’s chairs, and full-size SMEG refrigerators loaded with more adult beverages...there’s plenty to do on the property." Full review
