Austin has it all, from luxury suites and fine dining restaurants to budget hotels and cheap eats. If you are planning a trip that falls into the latter category then you will not be short on options. The “Music Capitol of the World” is an easy place to enjoy yourself while pinching pennies. I have put together a list of great hotels that will ensure you enjoy your stay without spending much cash. You might be able to find cheaper hotels in Austin, but, you can be confident that none of the hotels on this list will be a stone’s throw from the interstate, cockroach friendly, or barely inside the county line!

1. Austin Motel: This place is funky, unique, and cheap and located on one of the hippest streets in Austin. It is an old motor lodge, celebrating its 70th birthday this year. Each room has been updated and individually furnished with bright colors and fun patterns. Rooms start as low as $75 and you can walk to the many excellent shops and popular restaurants along South Congress, or take a stroll down to Congress bridge over Town Lake–downtown bars and clubs are a walk or cheap cab ride away as well. This is my pick for best value.

2. Adams House bed and breakfast: This is a beautiful old house in the popular neighborhood of Hyde Park. The area is lined with old oak trees and cute houses. This bed and breakfast has a great lawn and nice communal areas. The rooms are very individualized and cozy. They have several rooms for under 100/night. If you are a state employee, you get a discounted rate. Plus, there is a yummy free breakfast every day!

3. 6th Street Hostel: If you are the type who likes to be RIGHT in the middle of all the action, then this is the place for you. Cheap rooms, nothing fancy, but surrounded by the bars and clubs of Austin’s famed 6th street. If you intend to get a good quiet night’s sleep, then this is not the place for you!

 No matter your style, Austin has a great room for you. So, book a cheap hotel and then start planning all the tasty restaurants, great bands, and fun outdoor activities that you want to do!
