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

Fodor's "On Lady Bird Lake near Auditorium Shores, the hotel has great views of the water and downtown skyline." Full review
Lonely Planet "Business people seem drawn to the Hyatt's signature masculine style - large, executive chairs and desks, and deep cocoa browns."
i
Request ahead for a room with a river, which costs extra.
Star Service "The service here is not as well-tailored to the individual as that at the Omni, but low rates and a scenic location do offer value and convenience for a good mix of business and leisure guests." Full review
Gayot "Business guests appreciate the location of this property --- near the Palmer Event Center and Austin Convention Center, it is often the site of major conferences and executive gatherings."
BlackBook "Tony people are fraternizing in the face-lifted lobby lounge. And the view of the skyline from there is most expansive."
Zagat4.2
"Set on Lady Bird Lake's south shore, within walking distance of Downtown, this "relaxing" chain member features "Zen", "spacious" rooms."
Travel + Leisure "The expansive, sunlit lobby looks out across the lake, while the Marker 10 bar offers sushi and has a happy hour that's particularly popular with the business crowd." Full review

Travel + Leisure "A short walk from the bars on 6th Street, the Austin Convention Center...some rooms in this pet-friendly contemporary hotel have river views and patios."
