Walk Through the Lobby Quickly...and get to Your Room with a View
We knew getting this hotel for this price had to have a "catch". But we were desperate...a last minute decision to attend a conference and no legitimate hotel rooms were available in the area of the convention center. So we opted for the congress plaza since it was right on the bus line to the convention center. For that reason it was good....but for other reasons not so good.
This hotel lobby reminds me of a poorly made movie set...just enough to get by. The word that comes to mind is "seedy"
Rooms perfectly acceptable but badly in need of a remodel
Electricity very old
lightbulb in bathroom was flickering off and on
View was gorgeous...right on the lake...so if you close your eyes and focus on the lake, you'll be fine, although not all rooms are on the lake. 
I suggest going the VRBO route when you're in this situation.
