Top hotels in Uptown
Congress Plaza Hotel
"Hotel is pretty "okay" if you are going for business, but our experience was not nice. The Air Conditioner wasn't working on a 65-80 degree outside, I told the front desk if they can help or make a room change but the solution was to give me a floor fan, not the type of help I was hoping and did ..."

Freehand Chicago
"The room was surprisingly clean! I’ve stayed at Hostels before but never this nice! The room was well kept, some aging on the ceiling but nothing to complain about! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely continue to come here when visiting Chicago! 10/10 highly recommend!"
