AOL Travel Editor's Review
This 72-year-old, 41-room South Austin stalwart is a favorite hangout during March’s South by Southwest, and it’s easy to see why. With its stucco and red-tiled exterior, 1950s-style vibe with 1950s kidney-shaped pool to match, basic rooms decorated in retro chic, and the famed Continental Club a mere stumble across the street, it’s affordable and cool at the same time. “So close, yet so far out” is this hotel’s motto—and it fits beautifully. Word to the wise if you’re not a night owl: the property's location in the thick of things on South Congress means it can get a little loud on the weekends when a hot band is playing across the street. Bring earplugs.
