perfect Austin vibes at Hotel San Jose

perfect Austin vibes at Hotel San Jose; the property has been around for decades and was originally a motor court but has been enclosed--we loved the historic yet modern feel. The location on South Congress had great walkability; they had great coffee available in the lobby and we enjoyed sitting around the small pool in the afternoon

San Jose feels very much the ethos of Austin yet a perfect escape all at once. Charming design details and a warm friendly staff.

LOVED this hotel. Very cute and just a far step above your standard experience. Very comfortable bed and bedding, easy coffee and restaurants. Plenty of privacy and sweet spaces to do some work. Traveling alone and felt very comfortable here.

Great hotel in a great location. The only drawback is the noise from the road. It is VERY loud at night if you have a rooms near South Congress. The traffic noise kept us up.

Nice hotel, but with flaws

Very nice hotel in the heart of old Austin. Located just south of the Colorado river and easy access to Ubers, scooter rentals. Next to great food and music venues. My two major issues with the hotel were, 1. the key to the room. The key is an old traditional metal type, the problem with that is the "lost key" fee was $150. It literally made the trip one notch higher with stress because you are so worried about losing the key while out on the town. It seems unnecessary to have that kind of stress over a room key. 2. Is the night security guard whom seems to be way to aggressive to guest. We were approached several times to not make noise, don[t hangout in the outdoor court yard to enjoy a cigar, we even when outside of the walls of the hotel and were promptly approached by the same security guard with an unnecessary aggressiveness. For the cost of the hotel, I should not be treated by the "staff" as if you are the street drunk. This brought another slight disappointment in the stay.
