perfect Austin vibes at Hotel San Jose

perfect Austin vibes at Hotel San Jose; the property has been around for decades and was originally a motor court but has been enclosed--we loved the historic yet modern feel. The location on South Congress had great walkability; they had great coffee available in the lobby and we enjoyed sitting around the small pool in the afternoon

Wedding Party

Fun place to hangout while staying in Austin. Walking distance to lots of food and entertainment. Right across the street from the iconic Continental Club. Sweet courtyards with a Saturday brunch with live music as well as bar service daily. Breakfast is also available for room service only. Stayed three nights for a wedding and was treated like royalty. On site parking is available for a small fee.

The room was very basic for the price and most of the TV channel would not work. Also when I booked the room it was described as a superior room with multiple views, we had one window that was covered in vines that couldn't be seen through. The area was nice and there was plenty of things within walking distance. Parking at the hotel is not included and is an additional charge per night i believe.

If you love paying a lot for an “Austin vibe” this is the hotel for you. You have to walk on a muddy path to your room and track mud into your room? There are no amenities, barely any light in the rooms, bathroom is not conducive for getting ready. Yes you are in walking distance to all South Congress has to offer but that’s about it. Save $200 and Uber over from a nicer hotel.
