Charming, but the older nature of the hotel does detract
The Congress Plaza is in a great location and it is a grand hotel, but it could really use a facelift. The bathrooms are older and are smallish and a bit deteriorated. The HVAC only worked just ok. Not a bad place but not worth the $$ either. Showers were aimed low so as to hit the middle of your back...not the end of the world, but not world-class either. Pressure was ok - towels are definitely of the thin and nonabsorbent variety.
