Top South Congress Avenue Hotel Reviews

Placemakr Austin Downtown, Apartments by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place."

Holiday Inn Austin -Town Lake by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent value. Great location with Rainey Street and the river trails nearby. An easy scenic mile walk along the river to downtown too. I had a very pleasant room with a lake view on the quiet side of the hotel for my 3-night stay. Huge TV and well stocked room. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The airport shuttle was a bonus. I tried out 4 different hotels during my nearly 2 week stay in Austin and would definitely book here again for the value and location. Areas for improvement: - Maintenance issues: laundry was down due to a payment processing issue, ice machine on my floor was out, and the toilet seat appeared to be delaminating - maybe I just never figured it out, but it would be nice to be able to cast NETFLIX to that lovely big television - 5/10 pound weights in exercise room would be nice (smallest I saw was 15 pounds which is a bit heavy for a lot of women like me doing arm exercises) - suggest shades instead of curtains next renovation (Hyatt Place had a two shade system, one for black out and one for sunscreen, operated by pull chains that were so much easier/modern than 3 layers of curtains and allowed for a more expansive view)"

Hyatt House Austin/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone pleasant and helpful. Clean rooms. Covered info of property well."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Austin Oltorf

8/10 Good

"The customer service is excellent. The breakfast was good. The AC was okay. The property isn't as nice as other LaQuinta's the service made up for everything that was wrong."

Aiden Austin City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The food at the restaurant was delicious and it was so pretty inside! The pool area was great!"
