Slackers, poor musicians and frugal hipsters who don’t happen to live in Austin stay at the funky and safe Austin Motel. Right across the street from the pricier Hotel San Jose, the immaculate and restored Austin Motel offers a cheaper and more colorful alternative without any loss of cool-cache. Built in 1938, every individually decorated room evokes the classic motel experience - unpretentiously. There’s even a pool to stay cool on those hot Texas nights, and the hotel has some of the best vintage motel signage outside of Route 66.
The Austin Motel sits in the heart of the South Congress Avenue neighborhood, which overflows with independent dining and shopping establishments. The staff at the Austin Motel will always direct you to whatever nearby coffee shop or gallery that suits your fancy. The whole stretch of road represents the best of Texas, and you’ll be reminded that this is the state the produced Willie Nelson, Bill Hicks and Richard Linklater.
