Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was frustrating and disappointing. The location was lively, but the noise from an event made it nearly impossible to enjoy. The cleanliness left much to be desired, and the service was inattentive, especially regarding my room issues. Overall, it was an experience I wouldn't want to repeat.
I was really looking forward to my stay, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The hotel used to have a charm about it, but it seems to be focusing more on noisy pool parties than providing a serene environment for its guests. While the location is fantastic and the rooms have a modern vibe, my experience with service and amenities was quite lacking. It’s a shame as there’s potential here, but I found myself disappointed overall.
This hotel has a really cool vibe and a fantastic bar scene, but my experience was marred by some uncomfortable room features and noise. While the location is wonderful for exploring Austin, my stay was disappointing due to the party noise and some impractical room designs.
The South Congress Hotel offers a unique experience with a fantastic location in the lively SoCo neighborhood, making it easy to explore local dining and shopping. The rooms are visually appealing but show signs of wear, which is a downside considering the premium price. While the service is accommodating and friendly, especially at the pool, amenities were sometimes unavailable due to private events. Overall, it's a stylish choice, but the upkeep and value for money could use improvement.
Overall, the hotel had a lot of potential with its friendly staff and good food on-site. However, our stay was marred by noise disturbance from events and some issues with Wi-Fi connectivity. The room was comfortable and clean, but it lacked adequate lighting and basic amenities for the price we paid, which left us feeling underwhelmed.
