My daughter just moved to Austin and I now have my favorite place to stay when we visit! Mattie, at the front desk, was super friendly, accommodating, hospitable and went out of her way to make sure my experience was excellent all around! Love the Austin Motel swag by the way! Brett at the bar was super nice as well!!

Love this retro motel and awesome courtyard bar. We stayed in a deluxe king room and my only complaint is that there was no hook by the shower for your towel when you need it post shower and there is no microwave for reheating leftovers from the many great restaurants around the area.
