Treehouse vibes off South Congress

Hotel Magdalena brings a 1970s Texas lake house mood to Music Lane, just off South Congress.

Once you enter the property, it's hard to believe you are right off of Congress Ave. It feels like a retreat with all of the trees, greenery and great pool area. The staff was very responsive to requests and the rooms had nice shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion. I will definitely stay here again.

I really love this hotel kind of booked it last minute, but it turned out to be a perfect choice super stylish. The location is amazing very friendly staff and they love the dog. The hotel ground is absolutely gorgeous. Room is more on the minimal side and industrial chic, but I was very comfortable 10 out of 10 for everything

I have so much good to say about this hotel. It was nice to be surrounded by trees and great landscaping. The art and decor were also incredible. There were some practical things missing about my room (no drawers, small closet, no wash clothes!) but the overall vibe, comfort, friendliness of the staff far outweighed those issues.

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.

staying here was a splurge for my husband and I, and we both felt that it was 100% worth it. so nice to have food options on the property for the days when we didn't want to leave the pool :-) service was a 12/10 from top to bottom. shoutouts to Jared at the front desk, Chris and Maegan at the restaurant, and Dominic at the pool bar (our #1) for being so helpful and elevating our experience to the max. dreaming of the day when we can return!
