2. All in all we found the hotel average; we would have preferred to stay closer to the river/Miracle Mile and we also prefer a more upscale area and hotel; but for the price, the Hotel Congress was adequate.

9. I agree with previous raters in that the moulding needed work, the carpet needs to be taken out, the bed wasn't all that comfortable but honestly it was decent for the price (the bed that is, I've had worse beds in more expensive hotels).
