"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."
Fodor's
"What used to be a fading 1938 motor court is now a beloved, quintessentially-Austin motel."

"Housed in a low-rise building on one of Austin’s trendiest streets, the South Congress Hotel is much more than just a place to stay."
