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 "Austin's only real full-service resort -- one that caters to business travelers, couples, singles, and families alike -- Barton Creek would stand out even if it weren't alone." Full review
Concierge "Visitors who'd prefer nocturnal solitude over the late-night rowdiness of downtown Austin should consider this tranquil resort."

"The 312-room Barton Creek Resort is sprawled across lovely grounds centered within three golf courses in the hills west of downtown Austin." Full review
Star Service "Barton Creek Resort & Spa sits in an upscale residential development off Bee Caves Road." Full review

A bevy of quality contemporary have recently been interjected into rooms on floors 4 through 9, and these are not the ones to request.
BlackBook "The hotel tower comes into view as you descend into the Fazio Foothills. Golf for him on the courses par excellence. Spa time for her in the form of a champagne facial."
Zagat4.2
"Those looking for a "relaxing" retreat head to the "beautiful Texas Hill Country" and this "inviting" full-service resort, "secluded" in a "lovely" setting on 4,000 acres of rolling grounds."
Gayot "The signature Fazio Foothills Golf Course is known for its cliff-lined fairways, waterfalls and caves, and the three other courses also take advantage of the intriguing natural setting." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Especially popular with business travelers, the resort's golf courses were designed by legendary figures like Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, and Austin native Ben Crenshaw." Full review
Jetsetter "4,000 acres of rolling hills, championship golf, and luxurious resort living." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A world-class golf course puts this hotel on the map, but the resort sprawls over 4,000 acres of secluded West Austin for the ultimate in a pampered getaway." Full review
