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.

Very cute, the staff were all friendly. It is in a prime location. Even though it is supposedly safe, the forest room door was very hard to latch and wouldn’t latch when I left so had to switch rooms. They switched me next to the stairs and it was very noisy from the foot traffic, people in the parking lot, and rooms sermons me with loud kids. The next room also had just a lock on the handle, it was loose and didn’t feel secure. As a singular lady, didn’t feel the safest so I switched to another hotel. If it had a deadbolt, may have felt better. But the walls are so thin that you can hear everything. The property is iconic but is a bit older, the beds are very low to the ground.
