Top hotels in Oakton
Congress Plaza Hotel
"The Congress Plaza Hotel was a great choice for location and price. The hotel itself is old. On the one hand, it is great because the lobby has high ceilings and detailed architecture. if it has gold elevators, etc. The rooms are small. However, I would definitely stay there again."

The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop
"Room was ok but cramped. Closet was tiny. The bigger issue was the keycard system was down when I checked in and had to wait > 1 hr to get my key card. Otherwise an ok stay. Would prefer if they had a coffee machine in the room."
