    Some rooms need some works and the rooms seem a bit overpriced for the actual quality and service provided.

    Amazing location in the best area of town with a lot of accessible cafes, stores etc. easy access to airport as well. Nice external design and merchandise.

    Super cool but light sleepers beware

    Light sleepers beware! The motel is really loud. I heard every door open and close, every passerby, every car start and each neighbor in their rooms. I understand it's a motel so by nature, your room is facing public areas but there are some things I feel the motel could put in place to make it a little quieter - like soft close doors, adding thick curtains (maybe double pane windows) and some soundproofing in the rooms. The motel was really really cool but I wouldn't go back just because I never slept well.

    Staff was super friendly and just all around lovely and helpful. The location is PERFECT! It's near a ton of restaurants, shops and bars. The decor and vibe is super cool.

    fun and unique visit

    this hotel is a little bit pricey for what you get - the amenities are very simple, which is fine - everything was clean - but it was a little bit dated and run down (though fun decor) and so just didn't quite feel worth what we paid

    This hotel is in the perfect spot along south congress with tons of shops and restaurants around. it's a great place to stop over for a night or few in Austin. plus the decor is so fun! it's a unique and fun visit.

    Other than some hangers, there was no where to unpack our bags. Perhaps a few shelves, and some hooks would be a nice touch.

    Great location, great staff, perfect Austin experience

    More bathroom linens. Traction stickers for bathtub would be nice as it was very slippery. Another blanket for the two bed room.

    The only suggestion I have is maybe leave a bottle of water in the room at check in:)

    The staff was SUPER accommodating when I had to check in at 4AM! They made sure someone was there and even had someone there to help with luggage!

    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.

    Lack of outlets for charging. But it being an old property is understandable.

    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.

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

    Price feels a little bit steep. Also no breakfast available (not that they advertise it, but it would've been a nice addition).

    Loved this place. Great atmosphere and wonderful decor. Very comfortable bed as well, not squishy soft but you still sink away in it (my guess is memory foam?). Pool seemed bigger in-person than it did on the pictures.
