Top hotels in Edgewater
Congress Plaza Hotel
We were in room 500, great corner room! I love the old charm. Traffic noise is a bit much and it was a Thursday evening. I imagine a holiday weekend in that area would be pretty noisy. But the bed was comfy! Staff is very courteous. I would stay again, I'll try for floor 12 next time.
