Loved the location of this hotel. Right near the train, which I highly recommend using to get around town.

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
Definitely use the train to get from the airport to the hotel, and from the hotel to anywhere you want to go in the city. Saves a ton of money and time! Also, if you check out the aquarium, the $8 adult pass will get you to the entire bottom floor of the aquarium which will keep you entertained for quite a while!

Great Location, Clean Old-Wordly Style
This was a great location for us, overlooking Grant Park right on Michigan Ave. We walked everywhere we wanted to go comfortably. The hotel was very clean. It's an old hotel and the beautiful, ornate detail was definitely seen in the lobby.

Congress Plaza Hotel - Chicago
Hotel has historical character at a great price. However, there are no thermastats in rooms. Soda vending machines on the two floors I tried were out of beverages. Coffee in room, but not tea option. Room was made up late in day upon request (5 mins until housekeeping staff was off the clock); this was greatly appreciated after working in room all day. Concierge desk was very helpful.

Fantastic, classic, Art Deco hotel.
The room was nothing to crow about, but the hotel itself is quite historic.

Right Place
In Chicago for business reason with an extra day for doing the tourist thing, Congress Plaza Hotel at Grant Park had the location, location and location edge. At walking distance (less than 20 minutes) from both my meeting places and the waterfront park and museums (think reflecting peanut, Art Institute and Field Museum) it was ideal for me. Otherwise, the hotel had all the standard amenities you can ask for the price and was clean.

Great View
The first room they gave us smelled of cigarette smoke and wasn't a room worth wanting to stay in. However, after we asked to switch rooms, they apologized and upgraded us to a lake view. The room was amazing. Very large, high ceilings, amazing view right on the corner of the building so we had windows on two sides of the building. It was right in front of Grant Park. Definitely want to go back here again for that room!
