Congress Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, beautiful historic hotel with clean, updated rooms. "

theWit Chicago, a Hilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and the rooms were very clean and fresh. The Staff was very friendly and greeted us coming in and going out. The beds were very comfortable and we slept well. I usually don't sleep very good the first night or two in a hotel room but I was out quickly. The rooms were very quiet and we had a room directly across from the elevators which worried me about too much noise but I barely heard anything from inside or outside even from the L train which runs directly outside. Public transportation is extremely close to the hotel. We would definitely stay here again."
