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

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

"This stylish boutique hotel in South Austin has only five guest rooms, and caters to guests looking for a truly private and relaxing hideaway." Full review
Rough Guide "A stunning addition to an already thriving South Congress boutique hotel scene. A modern, architecturally significant structure."
Gayot "Located in the trendy South Congress area of Austin, this boutique hotel is the envy of modern condo owners seeking the slick urban aesthetic."
BlackBook "This boutique hotel is so minimalist that you'll hardly know it's there. There is no signage or valet. The focus is on architecture and design."
Fodor's "A stunning, design lovers’ dream." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Design pioneers Charles and Ray Eames would feel right at home at this artful and sleek hotel: It evokes their modern, yet friendly and livable aesthetic." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This marvel of modern design, with its clean lines and contemporary aesthetic, sits so quietly tucked into a residential street that it’s easily mistaken for a private home." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "This seven-room oasis in the heart of Austin is a private enclave in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood." Full review
Time Out "The illusion of seclusion comes thanks to the hillside design, whose unassuming front façade shields a stunning water feature shaded by a one hundred-year-old live oak tree." Full review
