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!
