Nice stay as usual I travel to Chicago practically every April and prefer staying at the Congress more than anywhere. The lobby and bar are beautiful. The staff is helpful. The rooms are spacious. And the location is excellent. Yes, it is an older hotel, but my rooms are always clean. I have never had a bad stay.

No need to stay there. My company booked four rooms at The Congress Hotel and none of had hot water. The shower had to run for a minimum of 30 minutes or more to get hot water. The hotel is very run down and the smell of reefer filled the lobby area. We will not be going back and have told people from the trade show to stay away. Old hotels are ok, but not one that needs a lot of care.

St Paddy's Day weekend 2025 Extremely happy with the overall experience. The location was perfect for people watching from the lounge and close to everything we wanted to do. The St Patrick's Day parade was just up the block. Our room was extremely clean and surprisingly large. We visited the lounge upon arrival and after our return from the festivities and experienced good service both times despite the crop. Room Service is reasonably priced, fast, and good! Front desk and luggage storage attendants were very accommodating. I'd highly recommend, and not knowing it is supposed to be Highly Haunted I slept well with NO bad feelings!!

Historic, reasonable The Congress Plaza Hotel is historic, so it is old. Some parts are beautiful, like the lobby. Other parts are just old. Generally, it was comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The location is great, very near the museums and aquarium and public transit.

Beautiful and haunted The hotel from the outside isn’t impressive from the ground view but once inside the details are magnificent. Some items are an architectural dream. The rooms have high ceilings, tall windows, and modern decor. The bed is firm but pillows are fluffy. The windows do open. I spent 3 nights and slept a total of 5. Yes! You hear things move or drop , you hear conversations and not from your neighbors. Yes! It’s haunted and some areas of the hotel give an eerie feeling like chills.
