About

Open 24 hours, Austin Motel is a historic, quirky lodging that lets you come and go as you please. Its phallic neon sign is a landmark on S. Congress, and the hotel is known for hosting many LGBTQ+ events throughout the year. The mixed gay-straight vibe makes it a welcoming spot for everyone.

The pool is a highlight, especially during warm Austin months. Single rooms are actually singles with a single bed, keeping prices reasonable. Free coffee in the lobby and comfy beds add to the appeal. Next door is El Sol y La Luna for easy dining, and the nearby Hotel San José is another local favorite.

From the community

If there were a gay hotel in Austin, this would be it. Great location on South Congress, very friendly staff, a wonderful pool area, and they host numerous LGBTQ+ events all year. Comfortable beds, cool lobby, easy layout, nice amenities, romantic, and try the restaurant.
