This hotel is one of our favourite places to stay in Austin. It's in the heart of South Congress which has a great buzz - easy to walk around the city from the hotel. We request the same room each time, it feels like home from home. The staff are always friendly, helpful and attentive. Pool side cocktails are delicious.... More 

We sauntered into the courtyard of the Hotel San Jose for an afternoon aperitif on what seemed to be the HOTTEST late afternoon in the history of the world. Beautiful people, beautiful grounds, beautiful drinks, just beautiful. Though our boss chose a lovely spot with a great view of the beautiful young people in the pool, my colleague and I... More

Rooms are comfortable. Ameneties include free wireless internet, Décor is in a retro style perhaps like a 50's hotel, but all necessary necessary amenities are provided.

We live in Austin and often walk by The San Jose. We finally had an opportunity to stay there, and we loved it. It's the perfect Austin spot. It's right on South Congress, so it has access to great shopping, restaurants, and is just a quick couple minutes from downtown.

While planning my adventure filled Birthday trip to Austin, I came about this small quaint Hotel just close enough but also away from the downtown crowds. The reviews looked good so I called for availability. I happened to mention the purpose of my trip and they were very attentive. On June 13th we arrived exhausted from a long flight from... More 

I've been wanting to stay here for years, as it is one of the original motels turned boutique hotels, and the team that made it happen is pretty legendary in the design world. That said, I was afraid that I had waited too long and it would be worse for the wear when I stayed there last month. But I... More
