Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful housekeeper—so thoughtful and kind! She even brought me water when she realized I was breastfeeding. Thank you so much for your kindness! 💗 At the same time, the staff by the gate told us there was no nearby parking and recommended a very far and inconvenient parking garage. However, there was actually a parking area directly behind the hotel. It would have been much more convenient if they had told us about it."
