Congress Plaza Hotel

520 SOUTH MICHIGAN AVE, Chicago, Illinois 60605

Featured Review : This aged hotel is what I like to call an "historic" property. It is just a glorified way to calling it old. Sure, it had its heyday when it housed political leaders and movie stars, but that was decades ago. It was open...See Full Review

Quote: Nice place to stay. It was actually within walking distance to a number of sights. We had one issue with plumbing because of the room above us, but the staff was very nice and moved our room immediately. The construction was a bit of a pain but no...

Yikes!

Quote: This historic hotel is in an excellent location, but it has not been renovated in a long while. The room did not have adjustable heating/cooling, so when we arrived on a 78 degree day, we could not switch the warm air to cool. We had to sleep with... Read the full Congress Plaza Hotel review

This hotel gave me a backache...

Quote: I stayed in this hotel about 12 years ago and the furniture and carpet were outdated back then. The room size was good, but overall it was overpriced. Lobby is nice, although the furniture somewhat questionable. If I had a representative room, this... Read the full Congress Plaza Hotel review

Quote: The Congress Hotel is of poor quality for the money. The first room given to us smelled of mold. We were changed to a different room but it was only slightly better. The room was too costly for the type and quality of room provided. Best to avoid... Read the full Congress Plaza Hotel review
