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 is a cool hotel despite the fact that it caters to business travelers." Full review
Fodor's "Your introduction to this bustling, business-oriented hotel is a soaring, granite-and-glass atrium lobby." Full review
Lonely Planet "From high on a hill, western facing rooms at this upscale chain look out onto the Texas countryside."
OysterUpscale
"The Omni is an upscale chain geared toward business travelers, with a prime downtown location within walking distance of the Sixth Street entertainment district." Full review
Star Service "It is a hybrid hotel, sharing its atrium with an office tower that bustles during the week and sleeps on weekends." Full review

The new suites on floors 15-19 are the ones to request, each with bold contemporary design and top-notch amenities.
Gayot "Due to its downtown location, this hotel attracts a large corporate clientele."
BlackBook "You're the master of your domain atop the rooftop of this downtown sky-kisser."
Zagat4.0
"Occupying a steel-and-glass tower, this "classy" Downtown "surprise" caters to the corporate set, but its "amazing" location off the Sixth Street entertainment district and "courteous" staff appeal to all."
Time Out "Accommodations range from comfortable deluxe rooms to the luxurious penthouse suite, and you can take your pick of dining options with the hotel's multiple restaurants and bars." Full review
