My friends and I just came back from miami south beach. This is my 3rd time at the congress. We continue to return as the location can't be beat. Right next door to the clevelander and right in the heart of the action. The roof top pool is a great place to tan and party. On saturday when we where there a DJ was spinning and a decent crowd was there. The rooms are nice, comfortable 2 double beds, and a couch that turns into a little bed. It has it's own little kitchen area where we can mix our drinks and party. Overall I always find this place to fit my needs for our guys trip down to miami. The staff is great, hotel is pretty affordable considering it's right on ocean drive. We love to just stumble in from the local nightlife. Very good overall no complaints..

The hotel was amazing and right in the middle of all the action. Close to many night clubs and so many restaurants. When we first arrived the girl at the front did everything she could to get us the best upgrade. They also offered champaign as a welcoming drink. The pool is open 24/7, wifi is free and the staff was extremely friendly. The beach and the board walk were right across the street. The roof top pool was the highlight of the trip. It had an absolutely amazing view, a bar and it was not too busy up there. I will absolutely go back and stay there when I go back.

My husband and I stayed two nights at this clean and comfortable hotel right on Ocean Drive. We booked through Bookit.com and stayed for half price (otherwise the regular price would not be worth it). The hotel is comprised of three separate buildings. The Congress was within walking distance of shopping and eating. I suggest getting off of Ocean Drive and heading to Espanola Way for nice dining options. The hotel room was large and clean and the bed was comfortable. The noise below is a bit bothersome since it's like a party every night until 3-4 a.m. at the bar below, but since we only stayed two nights, we put up with it. The pool on the 5th floor has an excellent view of South Beach and the ocean. Overall all, it you can get this hotel at a discounted rate, it's worth it. Bike rentals can be found at nurmerous rental stations around South Beach. Use them, even if only for an hour. So much fun!

We stayed here from Friday Jan 11 to Sunday Jan 13. Had two rooms. Checked in at noon and our rooms were ready. Was pleasantly surprised to see how nice the rooms were.

After we settled we went down for lunch at the restaurant directly in front of the hotel (not sure if it is owned by the hotel) We were offered 2 for 1 drinks--great, sounds good. Well, there were 6 of us--we each ate off the $9.99 lunch menu and my boys -ages 21 and 23 each ordered a drink and received the 2nd one free for each. Then comes the bill----$236!!!--HOLY COW--those buy one get one free drinks--well the buy one is $55 each. I was really taken aback. But oh well, lesson learned, paid the bill and asked a million question wherever we ate or drank after that.
--Really watch the gimmicks--just ask to clarify first--it really set my budget back a bit.

We used the beach across the street--it was wonderful. The rooftop pool was great and the bartender up there was really nice and helpful. The entire staff at this place was great, very attentive to anything we asked for and always greeted us and we came and went.

My only other small complaint is that the resort fee was supposed to include a coupon for breakfast per person, but the lady at the desk said that since we booked through orbitz, we could not get that. Seemed weird, the resort fee is a set fee for set services--why would it matter where we booked.

Overall a great stay--right in the middle of everything. Noise is there but does not bother me.
