We chose this hotel to be close to an event that was occurring in Grant Park. Super convenient location right across the street. We were just a few blocks from train station taking us to/from the airport and we were able to walk to many shops, restaurants, tourist attractions. Walking straight thru the park past the fountain and to the water was beautiful. The hotel had an elegant old charm lobby super high ceilings in the rooms comfortable beds and furnishings. Very friendly staff we were able to check in early due to flight schedules and the front desk staff was very helpful with any questions we had during our stay. We ate dinner in the lobby at Leonardo's and it was excellent. There is also a gift / souvenir shop in the lobby that had every sundry you could possibly need if you forgot something plus cute Chicago shirts, socks, bags etc. I'd definitely stay there again when traveling to Chicago.
I have stayed at the Hotel many times over the years and always had great service from friendly employees.
Very good, not expensive.

Congress Inn Plaza is a nice property. The hotel is lovely with a rich historical element. The staff was very friendly overall and ensured a pleasant stay. It was a fun atmosphere at Halloween! We had a beautiful view to enjoy and it was within walking distance of many restaurants and great shopping. Overall, it was a very positive experience.
Clean, comfortable and attractive room, great view of Michigan Ave and park beyond. Nice amenities like coffee and mini fridge. I checked out Sunday morning and I needed to store my bags. The gentleman working security was very helpful. Very pleasant overall. Will consider visiting again!
Loved, clean room and awesome view. Staff kind and helpful.
