"Long favored by cost-conscious artists and musicians, it's charming and hip without feeling pretentious."
Rough Guide
"Basic rooms in a trendy old motel in the funky South Congress district. A favourite with visiting musicians, it’s across the street from the venerable Continental Club."
Gayot
"Yes, this is a motel, but it has a fun, vibrant sense of style and is a far cry from typical, cheap chain digs."
BlackBook
"This isn’t a motel masquerading as a Turkish steam bath. It’s just got a mad sense of humor to go with its mad South Congress Ave. location."

"Apple. Dell. IBM. All clients you're scheduled to visit on this business trip. But locations change once their execs hear you're staying at this Brave New World."
