I have been going to this hotel since it was opened in 2015. It is in a great location. The facility has not been updated and desperately needs it. The couches in the lobby are threadbare and falling apart. The wood laminate in our room was lifting up in several places. The staff, which historically has been helpful and cheerful, was dour and not helpful at all.

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!

We had a great stay. The hotel is clean and nice with a great location around lots of walkable shops & restaurants. They have underground parking that makes it great for easy in & out with the option of valet. The front desk was helpful. Our issue was the noise. We stayed on the second floor and they were hosting a wedding on a Saturday night. We could hear every word from the music being played until it was shut down at 11pm. After that, you could hear all of the clean up and shifting around of chairs/tables that night and into the next morning. We turned on a sound machine and that helped.
