Great stay with our pooch
We had a great stay at the South Congress hotel. We brought our dog & they had us in a room with a patio which was great for our pooch. The room was a little worn but it was a suite that they put us in as an upgrade from a regular room. We would definitely come back & stay again!

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.

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!
