It’s a great location. And a nice hotel, but it needs better servicing of rooms. And better lighting in rooms. Love a great mood lighting situation, but when you feel like every corner has misplaced items, it’s annoying.

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!
