We had a great weekend trip with our dog. The hotel itself has several cafe/restaurant options, but it's also very close to lots of other great spots, Zilker, Town Lake, etc. The room was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. We'll definitely return for another stay.

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.
