Top South Congress Avenue Hotel Reviews

The Code Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location!"

Hotel Van Zandt

8/10 Good

"The hotel location was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room were clean and comfortable. My only negative was the not so bright hallways to get to the room, but I would definitely stay here again."

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excelled stay here. The check in was fast and smooth. The staff were polite and communicated with us well. We will definitely share this hidden gem with others and we will be back!"

Tommie Austin, part of Jdv by Hyatt

8/10 Good

"Parking, staff"

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great, room was clean and spacious, and all of the common areas were well kept during a busy festival weekend."

Aiden Austin City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place is great. Close to the airport and the city, and very easy to find. Parking is included. The staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive. It was just a quick overnight stay for me, but I got a nice grab-and-go morning snack too."

Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG

8/10 Good

"Stayed 5 days. Location is the selling point, as we wanted the walkability and we got it. The hotel is old, but they make the effort to keep it clean. The staff was wonderful without exception. The free parking was convenient and easy to use. The bathroom had been updated to a walk in shower, which was fine - but the floor tiles in front of the toilet weren't attached. I expect the floor wasn't perfectly level when they did the remodel. Ceiling showed seams in drywall from expansion/moisture. Windows overlooking the lake were FILTHY - made it hard to justify the extra expense for the top floor with a lake view. Room fridge and keurig worked fine. Could use an extra outlet at the desk - the light and the fridge/microwave were using both outlets, so the lamp got unplugged. Lamp did have usb charger outlet, which was nice."

Fairmont Austin

8/10 Good

"Bed is very comfortable. You have to request for an empty fridge, which isn’t a bad thing."

Austin Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff great. Retro rooms and pool are cool."
