Congress Plaza Hotel
"We had a wonderful stay in Chicago! The hotel was great overall, and the staff really made the experience even better. John, the bartender, was fantastic, and Tina, who served us breakfast, was just the sweetest. Both deserve a special shoutout for making us feel so welcome. One thing I would love ..."

The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast
"Paper thin walls, super outdated everything, lumpy mattress, noisy AC, there was dirt or something in our bath tub when we arrived, and the lobby BLARED music all evening, even when we left for the airport at 4am"

"We paid for a lake view front room, but we got put in a different room once we got to the hotel. The room was over 75 degrees when we entered, and never cooled down. Other than that, the staff was great. But for the price, there’s a lot of better options."
