Great historic hotel, great location

Pros: Close restaurants
We really enjoyed our stay at the Congress Hall. The place is beautiful and historic. It has a feeling of comfort and grandeur. The location is terrific--right on the beach and next to the main commercial walking mall. The Blue Pig restaurant (on the first floor of the hotel) was very enjoyable. Our kids really liked roaming around the hotel and its grounds. We'd stay at the Congress Hall again.

Neice's Wedding

For price it was not worth it. People were nice, place was clean, good free parking. But room had double bed which was a bit small for us, it weas a handicapped room which was a surprize, there was little room to empty suitcases..no chest, just shelves.

An absolute delight

Like stepping back into a more genteel era. Beautiful building and grounds, enormous veranda with rocking chairs, lawn bowling and croquet, two pools (one adults only), on-beach lunch service, two lounges, twice-daily maid service. Right across the street from the beach. Expensive, but well worth it for a special treat. Ideal for romantic getaway or girlfriends' weekend.

The worst ever!

Filthy room, 2nd room stunk of bleach, they deducted payment upon making the reservation & then also when we check in. Manager could care less about our complaints. He offered a gift certificate for later but this place is not worth staying for free!

Congress Hall of Shame

We stayed last year and enjoyed it, but only after being given a room after attempts were made to give us rooms which had wet carpets and leaky ceilings. This year we said no wet rooms. However, that's what we got. We were told they had no options. They knew the room was faulty as I overheard them say others had rejected it that day as well. We were given nothing but a refund and a half hearted ""I fear we may have lost you as a customer"" apology. They should have called and saved us a 4 hour trip. I vote nay to Congress Hall.

Wonderful getaway

The rooms are beautiful & spotless, the staff superb, and the setting gorgious. No better place to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We'll be back!!!!!! PS- We ate almost all our meals at the hotel restaurant The Blue Pig- so good there was no reason to go elsewhere.

Mixed impressions

The renovation to the common areas is beautiful. The rooms, however, leave something to be desired - large enough but a little short on comfort. For the price, I had hoped for more. Restaurant is nothing special - eat elsewhere. The pool however is terrific and the proximity to the beach is ideal. Alternatively, the staff is not particularly helpful or well-informed.
