Congress Plaza Hotel
The Congress is a very welcome change from where we have been staying in Chicago for some time now. The staff was very nice and the room, but that’s tall ceilings and it also look to be freshly made over, was a very welcome change from where we used to stay. Highly recommend, excellent location right ...
