What a gem of a hotel! Yes - the layout is a little strane (it's 3 buildings acting as one hotel) and the name change from Strand to Congress confused both cab drivers we used (Hint: Ignore 1052 Ocean Drive - unless you drive on the pavement you'll never find it ... tell the cab driver it's near 1060, just...

The hotel is located right on the beach, within walking distance of Lincoln Road, South Point Park, bike rental options, clubs, and restaurants. I would suggest exploring restaurant options other than on Ocean Drive though, as they tend to overcharge. The rooms are amazing. The junior deluxe comes with a full kitchen - I'm not sure about others. The hotel... More

The Congress is in a great location. The room was clean and well appointed. After reading reviews I thought we had a 50/50 chance but was delighted with the room. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the kitchen area stocked. The little golden nugget was the reasonable prices for the mini bar. The only issue that we had... More

When we arrived the road was closed for the deco festival which was a nice surprise. The markets and street performers were really good. we couldnt get into our room until 4pm which is very late in the day by any hotel standards when check out is 11am! We checked in (for a second time) at 4pm and had $200... More

The room was large, however, it was supposed to be a Jr Suite with a city view. City View turned out to be parking deck in the back and... More

This is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at in any city. The rooms are huge, the staff friendly and courteous, and the location perfect. I will always stay at this great hotel when in Miami Beach! More

The location directly on Ocean drive is perfect and the hotel has a nice atmosphere with a nice design touch. The room had a balcony which is unique for the area. The rooftop pool is nice with a fantastic view of South Beach. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast is ok but is not inside the hotel but... More

We stayed in this hotel for three days and didn't have good experience at all. The reason we booked this hotel because we have a 18 months old baby and I wanted to cook food for her while we were on vacation. They provided the full kitchen as shown in the pictures. But before booking the suite we called them... More

This hotel ruined my vacation ! They had huge (I'm talking 1 inch size) ROACHES running around our hotel room. We had to put our suitcases on the chairs so they wouldnt get into them. Keep in mind, our first room was so disgusting and smelled like a gym locker room that they moved us to this second room next... More
