Congress Plaza Hotel
Storage luggage staff was great and helpful. Had to move rooms due to the shower being dirty and water was not draining. Second room had brown water coming out when you turned the shower on, after 5 minutes it would go away.

Don’t book through Expedia, I had to leave my vacation early because I had to rush my travel companion to the ER as they were struggling to breathe. Great hotel, just don’t book through Expedia. You will have problems.
