8/10 Very good

We had a great staycation ant Austin Motel. It’s in an ideal location and it was very photographable and charming. Our largest complaint was feeling as though the rooms lacking certain comforts. For example - It was a cold austin night and the blankets weren’t very warm and due to the locks enabled on the thermostat, we had to wake up every two hours to change the temperature and warm up the room. Aside from this, we packed minimally, anticipating the room would have the basic shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, etc. however, they don’t have what you might expect at any other hotel. We needed lotion, Q-tips, standard bottle of water and maybe a cheap hotel slipper for the tile flooring but they don’t have that. Considering the boutique pricing, I would definitely expect this to be the standard (along with nicer toilet paper). These definitely aren’t deal breakers but something to be considered before spending the money.

Old School!
Good old school motel, drive up to your room door! One thing we didn't realize was how low the beds were to the ground, so a little difficult for older folks to get in and out of the bed. The bathrooms were tiny, but shower pressure was great! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great food at nearby Joann's Fine Foods and awesome coffee across the street at Jo's.

My family came in for a concert two days before thanksgiving. Room was great as per usual, and congress was a little busier than the norm. We had an amazing stay. Motel staff are always friendly.

Cute but overpriced
Cute motel with a long history. But it’s just that - a motel. And if you’re not in one of the rooms close to the pool, you feel like you‘re in a very mediocre motel. The rooms are nicely decorated but the wear and tear of a place that has been around since the 1930‘s is pretty visible. The rooms are definitely overpriced.

For as famous as this motel is…
We had an east facing window. Blinds with no curtain, so I was awake at 6am. Honestly was up all night from the street lights coming in the window also. Then I got a parking ticket even though I registered my car. The front desk said they would take care of it, which was very nice. Not sure how to confirm that.
