There is also a Courtyard by Marriott with Convention Center about a third of a mile from Congress Bridge. It too is a solid four-star hotel. Eateries on the premises are a sports bar and a cafe, which would be the minimum for what most would consider to be a four-star rating. However, the gym is well-equipped with free weights and machines. There is an indoor pool and whirlpool bath.
