I’ve been coming to Austin for work/pleasure for years but have never stayed here before. I decided to take a chance and was rewarded with a fun, comfortable stay in the absolute middle of Congress Ave and all it has to offer! The staff were so attentive and welcoming and the FREE parking right outside my door was incredible! Loved the full mini-fridge and the lovely patio and pool area to hang out in! Safe, comfortable and so much retro fun!

PAWSitive Experience
We always love staying at the Austin Motel, this was our 3rd or 4th time. We brought our dog along this time around. It was a last minute request and the hotel staff were so quick to accommodate. A pet bed and bowls were provided. The hotel pet fee is Extremely reasonable as well!

The Austin Motel is located on South Congress, surrounded by some amazing restaurants, great shopping, entertainment and walkable to downtown. The hotel itself is retro and fun! The pool is the absolute best with a bar and music playing all day long! The entire staff is friendly and communicates well before, during and after your stay. We’ll definitely be back!!

So close, yet so far out! The aesthetic is on point, as is the experience. Floating in the pool as you soak in the vibe and sip on a frozen cocktail…slipping on a striped robe and stretching out on the comfy bed while you consider where to shop and eat on South Congress…buying souvenirs and chatting with the friendly staff in the adorable office…snapping photos of the iconic sign, decor and hidden cuties like the blue and white bather tiles…I wish I could live at the Austin Motel!

It was an interesting stay. It’s a small boutique hotel with amazing robe. I fell in love with those robes and even bought one from their store. They have parking right on their property for the hotel guests which was convenient. Lots of shopping in the area and lots of dining options.
