Congress Hall is iconic and has wonderful restaurants,, events and is perfectly situated. The staff is wonderful and it is clean, but the property itself is crazy. Our room itself sloped so bad that you felt that you had vertigo! The entire building has severe structural issues.

Not a complaint but a warning. This is an old hotel, so you’re basically staying in a museum. If you like the latest frills you might be disappointed. That being said, I’d rather my room had a desk/makeup table and chair rather than a big flatscreen tv. I came for the beach, history and location, not to watch tv.
