I have been going to this hotel since it was opened in 2015. It is in a great location. The facility has not been updated and desperately needs it. The couches in the lobby are threadbare and falling apart. The wood laminate in our room was lifting up in several places. The staff, which historically has been helpful and cheerful, was dour and not helpful at all.

We had an amazing time at the South Congress Hotel! From the moment we booked our stay, the customer service was fantastic. When we arrived, the staff welcomed us with big smiles and made checking in a breeze. They even surprised us with a complimentary bottle of champagne to toast our wedding—such a thoughtful touch! Plus, they went above and beyond for our pup, providing cozy bowls and a comfy bed just for him. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a great stay. The hotel is clean and nice with a great location around lots of walkable shops & restaurants. They have underground parking that makes it great for easy in & out with the option of valet. The front desk was helpful. Our issue was the noise. We stayed on the second floor and they were hosting a wedding on a Saturday night. We could hear every word from the music being played until it was shut down at 11pm. After that, you could hear all of the clean up and shifting around of chairs/tables that night and into the next morning. We turned on a sound machine and that helped.

My husband and I have always loved South Congress Hotel and like supporting local places. Unfortunately next time we visit Austin we will find another place to stay. The best part was the nice valet guy and the bartender at the pool knows how to make a good clean margarita. When we arrived for check in the greeting was ehh, like they were annoyed to help. I called twice about how hot our room was and nobody ever did anything. We had planned to spend Saturday afternoon drinking and lounging by the small pool but the hotel was hosting a drag event. The pool was overtaken with people and a dj, would not have booked the hotel if we would have know. And then at three am the fire alarm went off. Come on SCH I know you can do better. And please buy some new couches for the lobby, the ones there are all torn up and gross.

Excellent experience. New hotel that is in great shape with plenty of amenities. The location was amazing. What really impressed me was the staff. The service exceeded what I've received at other hotels with much higher price points. All in all, a very enjoyable experience.
