The staff here are all amazing and super kind. The pool is a huge plus, always love it. The rooms themselves could use some updating but nothing that doesn’t make staying here not worth it. Perfect location, lots of food options. Uncovered parking but there is a lot/its not open to a busy street

Worth it for the location alone. Bring your own toothpaste, soap, etc. because it isn’t in the rooms, but the bed is super comfy and we found it to be very pleasant.

Iconic sign, friendly staff, clean rooms and a killer pool make this the best place to stay on S. Congress. Walked to the bat bridge, Lady Bird Lake , Home Slice and all the area has to offer. Saw a great show at The Continental Club late and easy walk to our room after!

Cute but Way Over-Priced

The location is fantastic and the staff very helpful, but the place is showing its age, especially for the extremely high price charged.

This is a delightful motel surrounded by lots of restaurants and stores. It is also a short walk from the bat bridge and we had a spectacular viewing of the bats exiting the bridge. It was also within walking distance of Black's barbecue.

It was great. Was there for business. Was very unique. lol very austin. Everything was clean. I would suggest calling ahead and telling them to exclude the drinks and snacks that are in the room as they kind of took up space. Outside of that it was great.
