The Vibe is on point! The room was perfect & the furniture is so FUN!! The bed was comfortable, pillows great, sheets all cotton, full fridge and the wallpaper 💖! Grounds well kept, lounging area, restaurant nextdoor and the POOL. THE POOL WAS HEAVEN. I was lucky enough to be staying there when they had a Pool Party - the music, the people, the bar-so laid back, I loved it. Quiet area, slept great. Coolist little shop & the staff were so great too. Oh, and did I mention the ice cream shop next door??! Will stay again 110%

The only additions I'd ask for are some kind of shelving in the bathroom and water in the fridge.

Amazing location - lots of great restaurants around, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very clean, but very basic. It's a remodeled motel. You really should embrace that and have fun with it. The decor is quirky but really fun...I liked it. Great pool area - lots of people were enjoying it - great vibe overall. The restaurant attached to it has great food and cocktails - highly recommend.

It's a remodeled motel - the bathroom in our room was very small. At check in they said it was one of their favorite rooms, and I think it was the smallest - we were the only room that didnt have a window in the front - the bed was fine - no storage. I would say the wallpaper in that room was really cool???? It was a miss for us, but fine for two nights - the location really sells the place - and they do have a pool area that people seemed to really enjoy.

Location, cleanliness, decor, vintage charm and comfortable mattress.

Housekeeping did not come at all during our stay. At check out we were informed that they don’t visit daily, only because we asked. That should have been communicated upon check in or a notice in the room. Had we not asked about that at check out, it would have left a very negative opinion about the motel. We originally thought housekeeping skipped us.

We loved the energy and decor, very retro and felt quintesentually Austin. The heated poo was also phenomal in the winter. Very walkable to south congress, we rarely left the area on our trip. Also told the staff when I came to check-in (but not ahead of time online) that we were here for my birthday weekend. When we got to the room they gave us free wine!! Such a nice touch and truly lovely folks.

This is the most perfect location ever. I mean everything we wanted to do was so close for there and the pool was pretty nice too. Love it !

The air conditioning was not perfect. My friend was full on allergies mode and we think this may have something to do with the air conditioning but we couldn't dime it or play with it at all.

The setup and layout were so cool and funky. The staff were so kind and delightful and managed difficult things well. Example, the WiFi was out (not under their control) and they were managing all the folks so nicely and without a lot of stress. The pool is also great!

That the Wi-Fi was out, but again not under the staffs control

The location was perfect! In South Congress, and so close to a lot of nice restaurants and shops, but still lowkey enough that you’re not hearing all the noise when trying to sleep like on East 6th st. Also, we found the South Congress area is a lot cleaner, no homeless people lurking around, but still a quick drive to the capital/6th st area. The staff was lovely and even gave us a complimentary room upgrade. We had a car, so the free parking was a huge plus as most hotels were charging $50-$60 a day to park; but there were bicycles and electric scooters a few feet from the hotel. Only stayed two nights so didn’t get to use it, but the pool area looked nice as well. The motel decor is really cute and retro, but it is a motel afterall so some of the finishes especially the bathroom still feel dated, although relatively pretty clean.

This wasn’t a major deal breaker for us, but if you’re assigned a room on the second floor keep in mind you have to bring up your luggage up two flights of stairs. If you have heavy luggage or kids, it might be worth requesting a room on the lower level or in the courtyard area (which is cuter).

Prime Location, great pool activity all around. Very well maintained and decorated. Beautiful rooms with a retro but clean and new décor. Ample towels and toiletries. Friendly helpful staff. beautiful pool. Beautiful lobby with coffee in the morning.

No room in the mini fridge for water or leftovers.

I like to stay at the Motel as often as I can, although, this time - since it was SXSW, the prices seemed pretty hiked up. The motel is fun, with wonderful food in the attached restaurant, a lovely pool no one uses and a cute shop. Retro, stylish and the best kind of 'motel' you can stay in, without it feeling like a motel at all. Location is perfect.

Prie flucutations are a bit tough, but hey, that's the industry...

The aesthetics were so fun! The perfect combination of kitschy motel with modern flair and amazing service!

There were no towels at the pool (they were being washed) and it would have been great to have coffee in the rooms (tho hey had some downstairs).
