I had a memorable stay at Congress Hall, where the attention to detail and luxurious ambiance truly impressed me. The services and amenities offered were exceptional, although I felt the pricing was a bit steep for some aspects.

The dining options surpassed my expectations, providing delicious meals that made my experience even better.

I had a pleasant stay at Congress Hall with its delightful historic charm and comfortable accommodations. The staff made the experience special with their attentive service. However, the dining was a bit slow, and I would love more options. The location is ideal, just steps from the beach and local attractions, though it can be a bit overpriced for what it is.

Congress Hall has a charming historic ambiance and offers a beautiful beachside location, making it a delightful choice for a getaway. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the ocean views are breathtaking. However, the service could use improvement, as my check-in experience was not ideal and staff responsiveness was inconsistent. Dining was enjoyable, but service at times felt slow, especially with high expectations given the price point.

Our visit to Congress Hall was absolutely delightful, especially with the stunning holiday decorations and cozy atmosphere. The staff, with the exception of a few at the bar, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The dining at Blue Pig Tavern was a highlight, offering delicious meals. However, our experience at the beach could have been better due to some frustrating service issues regarding cabana reservations.

I had a lovely stay at Congress Hall, where the historic charm was a standout feature, especially with the holiday decorations. The room was spacious and clean, but it did get a bit chilly due to the many windows. The service was mostly attentive and they provided a complimentary gourmet coffee during a small mishap, which added a nice touch. The dining options were impressive, although the food took longer than expected to arrive, and some dishes weren't properly labeled at the buffet, which was concerning for allergies. Overall, it was a great experience, but there are a few areas that could use improvement.
