The Congress Plaza Hotel

Definitely one of the best locations to stay at in Chicago. Well the hotel may not be the most modern, it has a rich history and some beautiful architecture. The rooms are clean and the staff were extremely friendly. The best thing about this hotel however is it location and the price. It cannot be beat with any hotel in the area. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The hotel itself is beautiful, didn't get any ghost action. The bellman in the morning is superb. The reason I only did 4 star is because the front desk seemed to be annoyed to do her job, not friendly, not welcoming. Our room was very elegant, loved the vintage decor. My husband loved the shower & great water pressure & that the water got good & hot, close to pretty much everything.

Wonderful old historic hotel. Yes, old. Not the freshest or the most technologically up to date. But if you like nostalgia more than 50" TVs, this may be your spot. Views from the lake side are magnificent. Clean enough, friendly, and everything works despite a ding or two. Also a great location for attractions and transport.

Location is excellent. Almost all tourists points are accessible on foot. If you want to visit the Museum, the Shed Aquarium, planetarium etc it is worth buying the city pass. I didn’t like the miss information about the parking spaces by them, the hotel doesn’t have free parking so don’t rent a car if you intend to stay at this part of the city. The facilities are quit old.

Old hotel. It was nice 50 years ago. Paper thin walls (noisy). Bad lighting. Feels old. Nice looking bathroom amenities, but not so great feeling. Expensive. Great location. Some rooms have a good view.
