We stayed in the spring suite at this wonderful hotel. The staff is always amazing! The spring suite has a beautiful screened in porch on the upper floors. The hotel is so nestled into the trees and is right off the main drag of SOuth Congress Ave. Lots of shops,restaurants, music.

The location is nice if you want to be in the middle of South Congress and the noise. If you are on the first floor you can hear loud walking and talking upstairs and all around you. Not good for a couples getaway. More of a business trip or party atmosphere

Exceptional Stay with Outstanding Service and Desi

We had an exceptional experience at Hotel Magdalena. The staff was attentive and welcoming, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. Our room was thoughtfully designed, combining comfort with aesthetic appeal. The on-site restaurant was also excellent, offering high-quality dining in a relaxed setting. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and look forward to returning in the future.
