Nice quiet evening
We were in Chicago for a quick overnight and wanted to be downtown so we chose the congress. We managed to get an inexpensive very quiet room with a tiny view of the river. Everything is a bit run down but the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We loved all the beautiful architecture the high ceilings and the size of the place. The staff was very nice. The hotel does not have any bells and whistles, like a nice gym or jacuzzi tubs but it was great to walk outside and be right on the lake and within walking distance of the museums. It was nice to stay in a little piece of Chicago's history .
