"the place is outdated and not well maintained. certainly does not deserve more than 2 Stars. the location is excellent and staff was helpful. But, place is not clean, bathroom was very tight. I paid for an update because standard rooms were so small. But the carpet does not have a clean look, walls are old and bathroom is very suboptimal. No coffee machine in the room, but when I complained about it they stated it was available upon request and they sent me one. essentially, very overpriced for what you get."

"The only downside is the elevator waiting time for higher floor. But the staff was super friendly!"

"Friendly helpful staff. Room larger than expected. Cold filtered water available by elevator. Great location."

"Room was clean , staff was good too ."

"The property asked for a $300 cash (Venmo) refundable deposit. They said after 5-7 days they would refund it. After two weeks still nothing and no response to my inquiries. In addition, there was a party with 25+ people in the common area on a Saturday night. Very loud music and lots of yelling. I DO NOT recommend this place."

"I purchased a Lake View Room, when I arrived they said my room was not available yet and moved me to another room. I could see the lake only if I stood behind the T.V. All three windows had no view at all. When I brought it up to staff they said that the room qualified as a Lake View and would not reimburse me or move me to another room. I told them at most this room should be a partial lake view and they wouldn’t listen. It’s a money grab, be careful with this one. Soda and water bottles in the lobby are $8 each and the hotel removed the vending machines on the floors forcing you to go downstairs. There’s way better hotels in Chicago. This one is a microcosm to everything wrong with Chicago."

"We have always loved staying at the Congress over the past few years. This was the first time we were disappointed. We asked for our 2 rooms to be close together but we were on opposite ends of the same floor. Our room was hot and the in unit air conditioner barely worked. Maintenance was sent to help but to no avail. It wasn’t the best experience. "

"Nice, spacious room. The parking lot right next to it does not have in and out privileges so it’s pricey but the location is great. Easy highway access "

"Excellent hotel in Chinatown area."
