Top hotels in Lakeshore Historic District
Congress Plaza Hotel
The lobby and bar were beautiful. My room was spacious. Comfortable bed. Great view. Rm572 My only complaint is that it took forever for the hot water. At first I thought I was going to have to take a cold shower. It made it up eventually. Great location. Close to CTA & museums.
