Love this place!
I love this hotel & always stay here when I come to Austin. It’s right in the main drag of South Congress. All the live music, shopping, dining & nightlife is right outside your door & walkable.

So weird to not be able to control the hot water. Also would have liked to have an alarm clock. (or instructions to work the contraption). Staff was very friendly, cool vibes in the decor, fun and hip location

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.
