Top South Congress Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Austin Downtown - University by IHG

8/10 Good

"I would recommend the Holiday Inn Express. But navigating 2 hotels under one roof was difficult."

DoubleTree by Hilton Austin - University Area

8/10 Good

"All was well with the property with the exception of being charged for parking. The property has its own parking, but there is no security or valet; therefore, there is no justification for us being charged $40 per night for parking for us being allowed to park on the premises."

Cambria Hotel Austin Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Cambria for a long weekend and absolutely loved it! The location was perfect for it was central to many tourist attractions! It was very clean. The custodial crew did a wonderful job each day! We enjoyed many food items on the menu, especially breakfast. The bar was a cozy spot, and we were always waited on in a timely manner. The pool area was clean and enjoyable! All in all, our stay was so much fun! We will be back."
