The Congress The only thing I didn't like was this old smell that was in the room and around some areas of the hotel. It just smells like an old building aroma, which I didn't like but got used to over time. I loves the location, which is right across the street from Grant Park, and right in the Loop. I also liked the hotel building itself, which is very old and has a unique feel and character to it.

Fantastic place! Comfy and close to everything! Spotty WiFi though. The WiFi was terrible on floor 9, but that's really my only complaint. The location was fantastic. We could walk almost everywhere we were visiting, there were some amazing places nearby. I loved the room, it was very comfortable, the aesthetics of the place are fantastic, the ceilings were high and everything was gorgeous. I love the older aesthetics of this place. Food was delicious, too, and staff was great!

Gute Lage, sauberes Hotel Das Zimmer hatte zwar Fenster, diese liessen sich jedoch nicht öffnen. War komisch, da unser Zimmer als Notausgang gekennzeichnet war und die Feuerleiter vor dem Fenster hing. Sehr gute Lage, viele günstige Restaurants in der Nähe. Wir haben alles zu Fuss erkundet. Sauberes Hotel. Der Lift war mega schnell.

Reasonable for the price It was an old room with not so comfortable beds. The location was perfect. The hotel has a relatively fair price for the value.

Great. Loved the gangster tour bus. i wish the bathroom was bigger and the room was small but i guess when all your doing is mostly there to sleep it was fair. the main t.v. station did not come in very good but we were not there to watch T.V. so in all it was fine The room was clean but small. Good view at night of Chicago's skyline. Was close to some of the great attractions that Chicago has to offer. Staff was wonderful and very polite.

Good value IF you get a lake view room. Minimal hot water (9th floor). Little security (anyone can walk into hotel and up to floors). Bad in room coffee (but machine in room). Horrible in room dining. Outstanding location in the southern portion of the downtown "loop" right in front of a major park and the lake. Make sure to reserve a lake view room. Fridge and safe in room are a bonus.
