When friends come into town and need a place to stay I wouldn't think of recommending anywhere besides the Austin Motel, The funky antique neon sign that hangs out onto Congress street lets you know that you're in for something different. The price is good (less than $100 per night) and each room has been furnished and decorated uniquely. There are small single bed rooms all the way up to multi-room suites. The best part however is the pool. A good size kidney shaped pool with beautiful flowers blooming all around makes you feel like you're in an old movie.
