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
Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
"Hip hotelier Liz Lambert redesigned an Austin icon into exactly the kind of no-frills spot all the cool kids love." 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 hotel is one of the most comfortable places to stay in the downtown area and a favorite with lobbyists and state contractors." Full review
Fodor's "One of the best-managed hotels in the city, the all-suites Doubletree has a staff that anticipates your every need." Full review
Star Service "It bests the Embassy Suites Austin Downtown with larger, more attractive suites, a better pool and a location that is perfect for those in search of something convenient to the city center." Full review
Gayot "This hotel is tucked in the heart of downtown. It is just two blocks from the State Capitol and four blocks from the University of Texas."
BlackBook "A pool is on the premises to work off the chocolate chip cookie proffered at check-in."
Lonely Planet "Just northwest of the capitol and within walking distance of UT, the all-suites Doubletree feels remarkably corporate, but it does offer a little extra space." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"The hotel's 188 suites are spacious with tasteful, if generic, contemporary decor, and come with separate living and sleeping areas, and kitchenettes with full-size fridges and dishwashers. " Full review
Travel + Leisure "You could walk to UT from the Doubletree, but the hotel also has an on-demand shuttle service to nearby spots that will come in handy when you don’t want to hoof it." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Doubletree Suites, an all-suite hotel a stone's throw from the Texas Capitol building, is well suited for long stays and families."
