South Congress Hotel
Shower had a clear window to the room. No blackout curtains. Water took a long time to get hot. Nightstand lamp constantly flickered like a strobe light. Women’s public restroom in lobby didn’t lock. Location was perfect.

Hotel Magdalena
The room was cool and the hotel awesome. Great location, friendly staff. The only minor incident was at the restaurant where I was charged more than the double of what I consumed but it was inmediately rectified after I addressed it.
