Cute Funky hotel in the center of the action. Great Restaurants and activities within a 3 min walk. Cool decor Room and hotel Amenities are basic but functional. No desk, no iron, no coffee maker. (But coffee in the lounge and Jo's famous Coffee is a 1-min walk.)

Austin Motel is a cool little retro spot on South Congress - super walkable and cool staff. It's showing its age a bit, but for the price and area it was a fair deal. Free parking and easily walkable to shops and restaurants. Despite a few modern upgrades, it literally is a motel - outdoor staircases, courtyard pool and all. If you're into that vibe, this is a pretty clean and functional example of how to reboot an old motel (but definitely not as done up as an Ace Hotel). Cute gift shop in the lobby selling art and merch from local artists and fun classic café and bar on street level.
