“We loved our stay, the staff and facilities were great! The location is bonus for newcomers to TX”
We loved our stay! Only issue is, the rooms should have a kettle and coffee machine, that is a very ordinary request for any great hotel room.

“Best hotel ever”
Perfect location. Great set up with excellent cafe bar and restaurant and also speakeasy and coffee shop- possibly one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Decor is beautiful- staff are friendly and helpful. It’s super clean too. Bed is very comfortable and really big. Spacious room and well equipped with everything you need.

A perfectly adequate room in a perfectly adequate hotel. Was surprised to find condoms and lube alongside the peanuts and coffee. And the window between the bathroom and the bedroom gave an unobstructed view of the shower from the bed.

“On the whole loved staying at the South Congress Hotel. Especially the Pool and hotel location.”
Great location, but knew what to expect as have visited the area before. Helpful staff on arrival. Made use of lounge area as I arrived earlier than check-in time. Room very clean and comfortable. Also close to pool. Loved the pool and used it at least once a day. Good chambermaid service. Despite the very hot weather throughout my stay, loved that the room was quite cool without using AC.
