South Congress Hotel was an average hotel. The location is perfect for those wanting to walk around the shops on South Congress. The staff is very friendly. The parking is tricky so we just paid for Valet. Their walls were thin so we did hear a lot of noise. One night it was very difficult to sleep because it sounded like people were working on the pipes as it was very cold there at the time. Very dim lighting inside the rooms. It is also a dog friendly hotel so you might hear some dogs barking.
