Congress Plaza Hotel
The building is old and needs updates. The bathtub wouldn’t drain and maintenance tried twice to fix it. They did respond quickly, so that is a plus.

CONS: stayed in room 808. super dark, only had low lighting, which my partner and i suspect was so they could hide the stains of the room. view was of the ugly back side of the building. worst part was the ac/heater. it was cold when we were there in early may and we were told the heater wasn't working ...
