Congress Plaza Hotel

Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the Congress for a Bears game. We selected it based on price and proximity to Soldier Field. The price was incredibly reasonable, so I was a bit concerned about the quality and cleanliness of the room and hotel prior to checking in. We were more than pleased with our room and the hotel overall and feel it was great value for our money. The room was very clean and had been updated quite recently. It was roomie in both the room itself and the bathroom. We also appreciated the amenities in the room, including a coffee maker, refrigerator, a large, walk-in closet, plenty of drawer storage for clothes and extra seating and table. It is also near do much in the city, so it’s a great place to stay. The only issue that I had is I wish the TV had been a bit larger. But other than that, I would highly recommend the Congress."

8/10 Good
"The hotel is in a great location. The room was decent and so was the breakfast. We were entitled to vouchers for breakfast, cocktails and dinner as well as water bottles. At check-in, it would have been nice to be told that and get those vouchers. We had to ask for them the next day after reading a message received from the hotel. It would be nice also at check-in to let us know that housekeeping is every other day. Overall we still had a good stay."
