We spent the weekend visiting Austin. South Congress is a cool walkable area. We enjoyed our stay at the Austin Motel. The staff was EXTRA friendly! Amazing customer service. The only reason I gave it four stars is the size of the room and the fact it is a motel with a Hotel price tag. I fully understand we are paying for location, so I am not complaining, but wanted to be honest. Staff gets 5 stars! The pool is awesome! Parking is good. And it is safe.

The staff is fabulous. They're beyond friendly, helpful and kind. The tv in my room was showing its age, and didn't work with my firestick that I always use when traveling, but the cable worked and the wifi was strong. I was really looking forward to using the pool but the weather had other plans. There's an ice machine but I didn't see any beverage machines, so keep that in mind. I loved my stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had two unexpected guests (cockroaches), the front desk came promptly to remove one and my son killed another the next day. There was also filming/ photos going on which we had to wait to use the amenities because of. But the staff were very nice and apologetic which is why I didn’t score this lower. We won’t be going back unfortunately because of the roaches. We were constantly looking in the corners and in the sheets. My son was afraid to use the bathroom. I can’t unlink that image (fear) with the motel. It’s not an experience I wish to pay for again.

The retro decor was cool, but the room was real basic. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Although we didn’t get to use it, the pool and pool bar was really cool. The proximity to shopping, dining and entertainment district on S. Congress can’t be beat. Would definitely stay there again
